Ahead of Black Friday, the contest for the cheapest 1TB SSD is well and truly on - and a newcomer has snatched the crown.

Little-known manufacturer Teamgroup currently has the most affordable 1TB SSD we've seen in recent times, available with a 15% discount from Newegg for just $67.99, down from $79.99. Hurry up though as the sale ends in less than 24 hours (or until stocks last.)

Like most drives in this price bracket, both SSDs are likely to be a SATA3 DRAM-less 2.5-inch models that use 3D NAND Flash memory with advanced SLC caching, wear-leveling technology and ECC function.

The drives have a rated speed of around 540MBps and 590MBps on read/write respectively (as measured on CrystalDiskMark), and support both TRIM and SMART to monitor the status of your drive and maintain maximum performance. 

Both also come with a healthy three-year warranty, but it's unclear whether any additional accessories are included.

Note that Newegg also offer a data recovery service for internal drives courtesy of Drivesavers. It will cost you only $36 for the 3-year data recovery service plan or $12 per year.
