A good grab if you want a fast 2TB drive with a heatsink

The Addlink S90 Lite is a mediocre budget PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD that’s best bought at 2TB with current pricing. It’s generic on the whole, aside from having weak sustained performance.

The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX is an undistinguished high-end PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD that would work fine in a PlayStation 5 but falls behind its peers in most respects. Get it on sale, if possible.

Another high-end PCIe 4.0 SSD dives into the mix

The Sabrent Rocket 2230 is a relatively fast and efficient PCIe 4.0 SSD that’s available in the M.2 2230 form factor. This makes it uniquely useful for certain devices that require shorter M.2 SSDs.

Good performance and extreme efficiency in one package

Update The Kingston Fury arrives with up to 7 GBps of sequential throughput, making it one of the fastest SSDs on the market, and also comes with more write endurance.

Tiny, 20 Gbps portable SSD with mixed performance

Update That Solidigm P44 Pro is the SK hynix Platinum P41 under a different name. Under the new umbrella it has access to Solidigm’s software support and the MSRP is more attractive.

A generic budget SSD with irregular hardware

A good option to have, but passable at best

The Corsair MP600 GS isn't exactly an exciting mid-range PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. It provides enough performance, but is not priced competitively. But it does do SLC caching a bit differently.

Middle-of-the-road SSD that fits in your pocket

Update The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus-G is a fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, and the first to be specially designed for DirectStorage gaming.

Update The SanDisk Pro-G40 is an exceptionally fast SSD designed for consistency and reliability. With Thunderbolt and USB fallback modes, it’s the perfect companion for creators.

The 20TB Seagate SkyHawk AI hard drive uses CMR technology to offer reliable performance for video, imaging, and AI workloads. It’s backed with a strong warranty that includes data recovery services.

Update We put the Solidgim P41 Plus SSD through our extensive test suite to see if it's a worthy contender.

The Team Group MP44L NVMe SSD is a solid mid-range PCIe 4.0 drive that delivers consistent, efficient performance at an affordable price.

The Samsung 990 Pro is an exceptionally fast and efficient class-leading PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, backed with name-brand support with the option for a heatsink and RGB.

Update We put the WD Black SN850X through the wringer to see if it lives up to the company's performance claims.

Update The WD Black SN770 uses a DRAM-less design and fast 3D TLC flash to create a responsive and cost-efficient gaming SSD.

Conventional, high-capacity mechanical drives for NAS and enterprise

The Acer Predator GM7000 uses familiar hardware we've seen from a drive made by HP. It's a good drive, but not an exciting one.
