B&H is offering a great deal on one of our favorite NVMe SSDs for only $165 right now, so if you're looking for an easy but meaningful upgrade for your gaming PC before you spend the next 300 hours of your life on Baldur's Gate 3, there's no better time than now. If you're looking for an easy but meaningful upgrade for your gaming PC before you spend the next 300 hours of your life playing Baldur's Gate 3, the timing couldn't be better. The game requires an SSD and at least 150GB of free storage to meet the rather strong minimum requirements. The 2TB version of this drive is normally $270, but right now it is discounted by over $100, making it an absolute bargain and highly recommended.
When we reviewed the FireCuda 530, we praised its outstanding performance and unmatched reliability, positioning it as a leading choice for premium memory storage. The only drawbacks were its lack of AES 256-bit encryption and its high price. The FireCuda 530 was one of the best NVMe SSDs last year with an impressive 7,300 MB/s read speed and 6,900 MB/s write speed, but lost that spot to the WD Black SN850X, which was released earlier this week.
For those with more disposable income and an insatiable need for storage, the 4TB FireCuda 530 is also available for $379, nearly half the usual price. However, if you want the best value, the calculation is that two 2TB 530s are more cost-effective.
No matter which size you choose, all versions of the FireCuda 530 come with an integrated heatsink to ensure optimal cooling performance. Make sure your motherboard has sufficient M.2 slots.
