If you're serious about PC hardware, gaming, and performance, then your rig has no business rocking anything other than an M2 NVMe solid-state drive. While they might not offer the heady capacities of the humble 24TB Seagate BarraCuda and friends, they're absolutely vital if you want a drive that will boot your operating system quickly and deliver snappy performance during games.
We believe 4TB is currently the sweet spot for price and capacity right now, as evidenced by the return of the sub $200 4TB SSD. But for those on a budget, 2TB is an enticing alternative, so what's the best deal you can get? Here are all the best 2TB SSD deals right now for Amazon Prime Day and beyond.

As you can see, prices are a little more disparate when it comes to buying 2TB drives, so here are some general observations: Our league table for 2TB drives is quite different here, with the Silicon Power UD90 coming in the cheapest. However, for the sake of a dollar, you should definitely be buying the P310 given the speeds on offer. Some of the speedier 2TB drives are much more expensive. For instance, by the time you get to the PCIe 5.0 Crucial T705, you can get a 4TB P310 for the same price. The question then is speed versus capacity.
The Samsung 990 EVO Plus is a highlight given it's 36% off for Amazon Prime Day, the lowest-ever price we've seen on that particular model. As you can see, in some cases, getting 4TB of storage is generally cheaper if you buy two 2TB drives, provided you have the space on your motherboard.
