Make room in your Steam library with this 2TB SSD.

General
Make room in your Steam library with this 2TB SSD.

Games like Call of Duty are relentless consumers of disk space, and as Steam's library continues to grow, so does the need for larger storage. Fortunately, SSD prices are on the decline. Right now you can get a 2TB Team Group GX2 SSD for $175.99 at Newegg.

It is on sale through tomorrow and is $54 off the list price. Importantly, this is Newegg's most affordable 2TB SSD. The next cheapest options cost about $200 (Crucial's BX500 and Adata's SU720), and from there the cost only gets higher in the 2TB realm.

Since the GX2 is a 2.5" SATA drive, it requires a SATA data cable and power connector to be connected. It is also slower than an M.2 NVMe SSD, but for gaming (and general purpose computing) this is currently less critical. However, in gaming (and general-purpose computing), it is currently not very important. However, this could change in the future, at which point this SSD could be relegated to secondary storage if you decide to purchase a faster SSD.

That said, the sequential read and write performance of this drive is rated at up to 550 MB/s and 500 MB/s, respectively. As for durability, Team Group rates the drive with an average time to failure of 1 million hours and backs the drive with a 3-year warranty.
