Amazon's PS5 SSD deals currently feature the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB heatsink model returning to its lowest ever price today that we've seen it listed for. 

You can get your hands on the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB with heatsink for only $299.99 (was $370) for a full $70 off the MSRP. This is a price point that we've previously observed throughout February, however, the drive did jump back up to $320, so it was short-lived. Now, you have the opportunity to take advantage of that lowest recorded price once again.

Also of note is the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB with heatsink which is just a couple of dollars shy of its lowest ever price at $169.99 (was $250) as well. Despite being cheaper in the past, we've seen this variant jump up to the $190 mark throughout most of 2022 so far, so you're getting an extra $20 off here, too. 

The Samsung 980 Pro is not only one of the best PS5 SSDs but also one of the best SSDs for gaming in a PC context, too, and this is because of the incredible sequential performance onboard. Taking full advantage of its Gen 4.0 NVMe prowess, this solid-state drive outputs a maximum of 7,000 MB/s read and 5,100 MB/s write, making it ideal for your Sony console or best gaming PC

For those of you wondering whether or not this particular drive still has what it takes to thrive in 2022, our recent Samsung 980 Pro review proves that this model stands the test of time, we said the: "Samsung 980 Pro is still right near the top and gold standard-level for PCIe Gen 4 contenders". We're confident in recommending this unit to anyone who wants to give themselves substantial overhead for their game libraries on either PS5 or PC.
