Today’s daily deals include cheap PS5 compatible SSDs, a PS5 Digital Edition console actually in stock on Amazon, a massive 55″ Samsung Odyssey Ark gaming monitor, a handy Elgato Stream Deck controller, a rugged Samsung T7 portable SSD, and more.
PS5 Digital Edition on Amazon Without Invitation
The PS5 Digital Edition is finally available for order on Amazon without having to wait for an invite. The PS5 Digital is exactly the same as the $500 PS5 Disc Edition minus the Blu-ray drive. Unlike the gimped Xbox Series S, it has the same power and performance as its more expensive sibling. We haven’t seen the Digital Edition in stock (without invite) on Amazon for ages, and traditionally this console has been hard to find elsewhere as well.
WD Black SN850X 2TB PS5 SSD From $159.99
Amazon has the newest WD Black Series SN850X M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD for the best price we’ve seen. In fact, this is lower than the price we saw on Black Friday. The SN850X is the successor to the SN850 SSD. It has newer flash chips (BiCS5 vs BiCS4) and an updated firmware, which combined offer improved sequential and random read/write speeds. For PC gamers, there’s also an updated Game Mode 2.0 utility that’s designed to tune the SSD for better performance during gaming sessions.
Samsung 980 Pro 2TB M.2 SSD From $159.99
Samsung SSDs need no introduction. They’ve made some of the most popular and reliable PS5 SSDs on the market. The 980 Pro has been out for a while now, and it’s still Samsung’s fastest M.2 PCIe SSD. It is fully PS5 compatible in terms of form factor and performance, with blistering speeds of up to 7,100MB/s. It goes toe to toe with other well-known options like the WD Black SN850 and the Seagate Firecuda 530.
Samsung Odyssey Ark 55″ QLED Mini-LED Gaming Monitor for $1999.99
This is the first time we’ve seen Samsung’s flagship 55″ gaming monitor drop in price to under $2K (it was about $2300 on Black Friday). The Odyssey Ark is a 55″ QLED Mini LED gaming monitor with a 4K (3840×2160) resolution and an aggressive 1000R curve for maximum immersion. What’s amazing about this monitor is that despite the garganuan size, the stand actually allows you to rotate this monitor 90 degrees into portrait mode. Samsung calls it “cockpit” mode and allows you to view it as three screens stacked one atop another.
Samsung T7 Shield 4TB Portable SSD for $279.99
The Samsung T7 Shield is a external solid state drive. SSDs are much faster than traditional hard drives, and combined with the USB 3.2 Type-C interface, the T7 is capable of transfer speeds of up to 1,050MB/s read and 1,000MB/s write. As a comparison, a traditional portable hard d rive is only capable of transfer speeds of about 100MB/s over USB 3.0. That’s a veritable order of magnitude in difference. The Samsung T7 Shield in particular is more durable than your typical SSD enclosure. It’s rated for IP65 water and dust resistance, and it’s shockproof to 10 feet. The soft touch enclosure on the T7 Shield is less prone to general wear and tear and it’s also easier to grip.
Elgato Stream Deck MK.2 Studio Controller for $119.99
If you’re looking to add a little something extra to your streams, the Elgato Stream Deck can turn your stream into a professionally-slick presentation. The buttons are customizable to whatever you like, so the possibilities are limited by your imagination. This is the lowest price it’s ever been on Amazon, too, so this is a perfect opportunity to take your streaming game to the next level.
