This 2TB WD Green SN3000 SSD is surprisingly cheap with an eBay discount code

It's not easy bein' green.

The hallmark of a good value NVMe SSD, in my mind, is still around £50 per TB or so, and we haven't really seen much in the way of further advances down in price in recent times, as much as drive have been getting more affordable. However, this deal from eBay on a capable 2TB WD Green SN3000 option for £76 with code CHEER5 brings NVMe storage down to one of the lowest per TB prices I've ever seen.

For reference, that works out to £38 per TB of storage, which is obscenely affordable for fast NVMe storage. WD rates this drive for up to 5000MB/s reads and up to 4200MB/s writes, making it rather brisk for a cheaper option. Sure, it may not be up there with some of the best gaming SSD we've tested with speeds that almost double it, but for most folks wanting to add some more quick storage on the cheap to a PC, this is decently fast.

2TB of storage gives you enough room for an OS install and a lot more in the way of apps and local media files, as well as games, too. With lots of modern titles pushing triple-digits in terms of size, any additional storage is welcome. You just have to make sure you've got a PCIe 4.0-capable motherboard to take full advantage of the speeds that the SN3000 offers - that's anything from the last five years or so, but it's just worth checking.

If you've been after some snappy, but affordable NVMe storage, this 2TB WD Green SN3000 on eBay is quite the bargain.
