Reg. $220/$160

Amazon is offering the MSI SPATIUM M480 1TB Internal PCIe 4.0 NVMe Solid-State Drive for $159.99 shipped. Down from $220, today’s deal comes within $5 of the all-time low that we’ve tracked at Amazon for this drive. MSI’s latest drive offers PCIe 4.0 compatibility with up to 7GB/s read and 6.8GB/s write speeds, giving your desktop or laptop a solid performance boost. The M.2 form-factor allows the drive to be mounted directly to your computer’s motherboard, which allows for a simpler configuration and setup overall since no additional cables or wires are required for it to function.

Instead of today’s deal, you could opt for the WD_BLACK SN750 SE 250GB NVMe SSD for $40 on Amazon. While it offers only 25% of the overall storage that today’s lead deal does, and speeds max out at 3.6GB/s, the SN750 SE is still a solid drive all around for those on a tighter budget.
