Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good price per TB for an NVMe SSD in 2026?
In 2026, a good price per terabyte for an NVMe SSD is around £50-80/TB for PCIe Gen4 drives. Gen3 NVMe drives can be found for £40-60/TB, while cutting-edge Gen5 drives command a premium at £100-150/TB. Prices drop significantly during sales events.
How much does an NVMe SSD cost?
NVMe SSD prices range from around £25 for a 500GB Gen3 drive to £300+ for a high-end 4TB Gen4 drive. The sweet spot for most users is a 1TB-2TB Gen4 NVMe at £40-100. Use our price comparison above to find the best NVMe deals today.
What's the difference between PCIe Gen3, Gen4, and Gen5 NVMe?
Gen3 NVMe drives offer speeds up to 3,500MB/s, Gen4 doubles that to 7,000MB/s, and Gen5 can reach 12,000MB/s+. For most users, Gen4 offers the best balance of performance and value. Gen5 is overkill unless you work with massive files or need the absolute fastest speeds.
Do I need a heatsink for my NVMe SSD?
NVMe SSDs can throttle under sustained heavy loads due to heat. A heatsink helps maintain consistent performance. Many motherboards include M.2 heatsinks, and some NVMe drives come with pre-installed heatsinks. For PS5 use, ensure the total height (with heatsink) doesn't exceed 11.25mm.
Can I use an NVMe SSD in my PS5?
Yes, PS5 supports M.2 NVMe SSDs that meet certain requirements: PCIe Gen4, 5,500MB/s read speed minimum, and 22mm width (2230/2242/2260/2280 lengths). Popular choices include Samsung 980 Pro, WD Black SN850, and Crucial P5 Plus. A heatsink is recommended.
Is NVMe worth it over a SATA SSD?
For most everyday tasks, the difference between NVMe and SATA is minimal. NVMe shines in large file transfers, video editing, and professional workloads. However, NVMe prices have dropped so much that they are often only slightly more expensive than SATA SSDs, making them the default recommendation for new builds.
What NVMe SSD size do I need for gaming?
For gaming, 1TB is the minimum recommended size. Modern games can be 50-200GB each, so a 2TB NVMe gives you room for 10-20+ games plus your operating system. If you play many AAA titles, consider 2TB or larger. Check our 1TB and 2TB NVMe pages for the best gaming SSD deals.
