If you don’t specifically need the massive sequential speeds of the latest PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 SSDs, PCIe 3.0 SSDs such as the WD Blue SN570 generally offer all the speed you need for much less money. This budget SSD builds upon its predecessor, the SN550, with much faster speeds, but thankfully has an equally generous price.
The Blue SN570 is already on our best gaming SSD guide as the best cheap SSD. While its price may be cheap, though, you don’t sacrifice too much by opting for this SSD over many more expensive drives. It’s nearly as quick as the fastest PCIe 3.0 SSDs we’ve tested.
