If you are still wondering about SSD vs HDD storage, the higher speeds and greater reliability of SSD technology carries the day. The best SSDs for gaming are internal drives because they can transmit data much faster than external SSDs that are held back by USB connection speed limits. The XPG Gammix S70 Blade 2TB Internal SSD is an M.2 2280 form factor with a PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface that’s also backward compatible with PCIe 3. If you install it on a PC or laptop motherboard with a PCIe 4 interface the sequential Read/Write rate is up to 7400/6800 MB per second. On a PS5, the 2TB XPG Internal SSD has a 6100 MB per second sequential read speed.

Intended for internal applications only, the XPG Gammix S70 Blade has an integrated heat sink and comes with a 5-year limited warranty. While you can install this SSD in a PCie 3.0 port, in that case the maximum sequential R/W speeds are limited to 3400/3000 MB per second, which doesn’t really cut it for high-speed play with the most demanding games.

If you demand the greatest performance from your PS5, adding an internal SSD is a must. Today’s Best Buy one-day sale on the Adata XPG Gammix S70 Blade 2TB Internal SSD with a PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface and integrated heat sink is the answer to the question of which SSD to choose. Instead of the normal $250, Best Buy is selling this XPG 2TB Internal SSD for just $200, a $50 savings, but you have to act quickly because even if quantities hold out, this sale ends at midnight tonight Central Time.

I found the cheapest gaming laptop deal worth buying today

Dell G15 gaming laptop with a game scene on the screen, on a grey background.

The G15 is Dell's most popular gaming laptop thanks to its versatility and low price point. That price point just got even lower thanks to Dell's gaming laptop deals. Right now you can buy the G15 for only $800, $200 off its usual price tag. Dell's laptop deals are known to sell out quickly, so make sure to grab this before it's gone. If you're not convinced, read more details about its performance below.

Why you should buy the Dell G15 gaming laptop
At this price, the Dell G15 gaming laptop won't rival the best gaming laptops but it certainly makes gaming more affordable. You get a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor along with 16GB of memory, 512GB of SSD storage, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050. There's also a 15.6-inch full HD screen with 250 nits of brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate to reduce motion blur. For $200 less at $650, you could buy a with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage but we wouldn't recommend it. Games take up a lot of room these days so you're likely to need to swap between game installs often while the limited amount of RAM doesn't really cut it for gaming anymore. Unless you're on a very tight budget, stick with the better G15 model.
