An affordable 4TB PS5-ready SSD, indeed.
Lexar announced that its Play 2280 SE PCIe 4.0 SSD is available at Costco. New SSDs hit the market all the time, but I’m stunned by how affordable this one is. Costco members can snag one online for $224.99. For context on that price, Samsung’s 4TB 990 Pro has never gone below $279.99.
The Play 2280 SE supports 7000 MB/s max read and 6000 MB/s max write speeds. That makes it a touch slower than the 990 Pro, but you likely won’t notice a difference on your PS5 (we didn’t when we tested several options back in 2021).
