Black Friday is still days away, but some brands are eager beavers and are already dropping prices ahead of the big day, just like Crucial.

The storage brand behind some of the best SSDs for gaming has already slashed up to 45% off a range of storage options, including its new T705 2TB NVMe M.2 Gen 5 SSD, which is down to just $159.99 at Amazon, a return to its lowest ever price so far. That price alone is fantastic for one of the latest Gen 5 drives out there (assuring you have a compatible motherboard that can actually use it), but there's also only $5 separating it from the 1TB version.

If your gaming PC, or even your PS5, is in dire need of some extra storage this November, I've gathered all the best SSD Black Friday gaming deals I've spotted from Crucial down below. While they're active now, be sure to check back on Black Friday and Cyber Monday to take a look at the full wealth of storage deals, including price drops on more of the best external hard drives when the deals are officially underway on November 28.

Crucial T705 2TB PCIe Gen5 NVMe M.2 SSD | $198.95 $159.99 at Amazon
Save $38 - Crucial's lightning fast Gen 5 SSD with its boasted read speeds of up to 14,500MB/s and write speeds of 12,700MB/s is down to just $159.99 at Amazon thanks to the influx of early deals. Not only is this price a return to a record low, but there's just $5 separating this 2TB model from the smaller 1TB model. Just make sure you own a compatible rig before you grab this SSD bargain.
