OK, so Lego Optimus Prime is expensive. There are no two ways about it. At $169.99 (or £149.99 if you’re based in the UK), this is one hell of a pricey Autobot. But cracking open the box will chase away any twinge of buyer’s remorse. Simply put, fans of Transformers …

The PNY XLR8 SSD 1TB Gaming Kit bundles the PNY CS3140 (opens in new tab) Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD with an integrated heatsink designed exclusively to replace the PS5’s own M.2 port cover. Retailing for $250, and promising sequential performance of up to 7,500 MB/s reads, this console storage bundle …
