Amazon is now offering the WD_BLACK 2TB D30 Solid-State Game Drive for $179.99 shipped. Regularly $290 at Best Buy where it is now matched, it is more usually in the $260 range at Amazon where it dropped to $230 over the last few months and is now at a new all-time low. This NVMe SSD is purpose built for console and PC gamers to stow their expanded game libraries, offering 900MB/s transfer speeds and, in this case, 2TB of storage. While it’s really just for cold storage on current-generation consoles, it is a notable way, for example, to unload your PS4 titles off your PS5’s internal storage and free up some space inside of a rugged, almost industrial-looking package that will work nicely in the game room and on-the-go.
