Crucial’s P2 NVMe SSD is a great value drive, offering up to 2400MB/s speeds - while costing only a little more as SATA SSDs that are nearly five times slower. Normally, the P2 costs around £90 or £100, but today someone at Ebuyer got a bit excited and dropped their price to £60. Amazon matched the price, and now you can pick up the drive from either retailer at an absolutely wild total. I’m buying one, and I don’t even need it - it’s just too good of a deal to pass up!

Update:The Crucial P5 1TB is also discounted heavily on Amazon, at£75 (normally £120). This is a TLC drive with DRAM cache for better sustained performance than the P2.
InKatharine’s review of the Crucial P2from earlier this year, she reported loading times “up there with the best” of other drives, offering comparable gaming performance to much more expensive options. She also noted that the P2 was “definitely a better buy than rival SATA SSDs”, and that was before this bonkers discount.

So: one of thebest SSDs for gaming, that way outperforms SATA alternatives, at the kind of price point that not even SATA drives have ever treaded. Seriously, if you look at the Crucial MX500 on Amazon, the company’s best SATA SSD, it costs£90 for a 1TB modeland only ever got as cheap as £73 for a few days - so £60 for a drive that’s more than four times faster is incredible. It won’t last long, sodo snap it upwhile you can if you could do with more storage!
