In honor of Memorial Day, Amazon, Newegg, B&H and their competitors are having a slew of sales on PC components. While most SSDs are not at all-time lows, this is still a good time to buy a 4TB SSD, with prices hovering as low as 5 cents per GB for respectable brands such as TeamGroup, Silicon Power and Crucial.
If you want a Samsung drive, the 990 Evo Plus, which offers 7,250 MB/s reads and 6,300 MB/s writes is just 6 cents per GB. Here's a complete list of 4TB drives you can get today and how much they cost.

Not all of these are currently sale prices, just the lowest price you can get them for right now. Prices may have been lower in the recent past, but again, we don't know if they will go down anytime soon.
4TB is the ideal capacity for most people. While you can get by with 2TB or 1TB in a pinch, 4TB gives you plenty of room for games, video files and photos.
Most of these SSDs use the PCIe 4.0 interface and are good for both PS5 and laptop upgrades. If you're willing to spend more money for performance, the Crucial T705 is a solid price at $389 for 4TB. Probably the best balance between performance and price is the Samsung 990 Evo for $245.
