You may have noticed that SSDs got extremely cheap towards the end of 2023, and then they rebounded somewhat in 2024.

However, there are still some better deals than others, and unless you can hop in a time machine they're still well worth covering.

Today you can pick up the 2TB KC3000 for £123, a fair price for a drive that cost more than £150 at the start of 2024.
