Buying a new SSD is one of the key upgrades you can make to a PC to make the system feel much faster. After all, it is responsible for transferring all your data from place to place. It's in charge of game-level loading time (yes, you want that vehicle before someone else!) and loading up Windows when you power on your PC.
This time of the year is a great time to consider upgrades for your PC because many parts are massively discounted thanks to the Black Friday sales. Below is a list of M.2 gaming SSDs, which are ALL recommended by our master SSD reviewer, Jon Coulter. Every SSD on the list has a rating above 90% and received a TweakTown editor's choice award when reviewed. Not only that, all of them are on special at the moment at Amazon with discounts up to a huge 65% off.

5. WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X
Quote from our review: Western Digital's newest member of its legendary "Black" series is an absolute dream for gamers or anyone that values real-world results over marketing fluff. BiCS 5 may or may not be the best-performing flash currently in circulation. We couldn't determine that concretely today as hoped. However, we determined that the Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 2TB is really as good as it gets, eminently TweakTown Elite, and worthy of our highest award.

And with the 2TB model we tested today sporting the overall best pricing we've seen for any B47R Fortis grade arrayed E18 controlled SSD with preinstalled heat sink, it presents an incredible value as well. Fast as hell, TweakTown Elite and priced oh so right, Corsair's MP600 Pro LPX has earned our highest award.

3. Sabrent 4TB Rocket 4 Plus
Quote from our review: As we see it, when it comes to console gaming or PC gaming where games are taking up 100GB space or more each, a 4TB SSD like Sabrent's Rocket 4 Plus with B47R is the ultimate upgrade as it relates to user experience. Instead of 5 or 10 games installed, you can have 40 or 50 games installed. Now that's luxurious. Sabrent's 4TB Rocket 4 Plus with B47R flash is TweakTown Elite and worthy of our highest award.

- Normal Price: $999.99

2. Patriot Viper VP4300 Lite 2TB
Quote from our review: As we see it, Patriot's VP4300 Lite is just incredible, especially at 2TB. We are of the opinion that when all factors like capacity, price point, power draw, real-world performance, and endurance are taken into consideration, the 2TB VP4300 Lite is among the top 5 best consumer SSDs ever made. You do not want to overlook this Best Value product.

Exactly what we expect to see from an InnoGrit IG5236 controlled SSD running on recent firmware.
