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.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
