- 4TB SSD deals hit around five cents per gigabyte during early Black Friday promotions
- Premium PCIe 5.0 models remain expensive, exceeding $100 per terabyte
- Expect modest discounts only when retailers increase list prices before the big sales event.
We’ve seen steady declines in SSD prices through much of 2025, particularly for 4TB models, but that trend could soon reverse.
Industry analysts warn that global chip tariffs and growing demand from AI data centers could well drive prices up in the coming months.
With the arrival of Black Friday November 28, 2025Most retailers have already started rolling out early promotions on high-capacity PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 drives, although many discounts are slight rather than dramatic.
The best options for TB
Right now, the best SSD value is the Silicon Power UD90 and WD Blue SN5000, both of which offer solid PCIe 4.0 performance for around $55 to $60 per terabyte.
The PNY CS2241 falls in the same range, while the WD Black SN7100 and Lexar NM790 reach higher performance levels at about $62-64 per terabyte with read speeds above 7 GB/s.
The Samsung 990 Evo Plus continues to deliver reliable results for around $65 per terabyte, making it a reliable mid-range option.
Enthusiast drives like the Crucial T500, PNY CS3140, and WD Black SN850X maintain an excellent balance between speed and cost, hovering around $70-75 per terabyte and offering read speeds of over 7 GB/s.
At the high end, flagship PCIe 5.0 options, such as the Crucial T705, Samsung 9100 Pro, and WD Black SN8100, surpass the $100 per terabyte mark, but reach read speeds of up to 14-15 GB/s.
Overall, the sweet spot for most buyers remains the $60 to $70 per terabyte range, where performance, reliability, and price align well ahead of any expected post-holiday bounce.
