New lows/From $125

Amazon is now offering the PNY XLR8 1TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 x4 Internal Solid-State Drive for $124.99 shipped. This model hit Amazon for the first time last year at $230 before dropping to the $200 range. This year it has hovered between $140 and $158 before dropping to today’s new Amazon all-time low. We are also tracking the heatsink model designed for PS5 at $144.98 shipped, another Amazon all-time low down from the regular $165 price tag. Both editions deliver up to 7,500MB/s transfers speeds as well as 1TB storage capacity in an M.2 PCIe Gen4 form-factor. Backed by PNY’s 5-year warranty, the only particularly notable difference between the two models is the extruded aluminum heatsink that delivers “improved thermal performance for demanding and high-end games.” You can get some hands-on impressions right here and then head below for more.
