Christmas is right around the corner, which means that you're running out of time to get some hot tech deals and have them arrive in time to place under the tree. With that in mind, we've got a last-minute roundup of deals that you can either partake in for yourself, or for the techie/gamer on your shopping list.

The first deal that came across our radar screen is on the WD Black SN750 PCIe NVMe SSD. This particular gaming SSD is available in a relatively capacious 500GB capacity (WDS500G3X0C), and offers blazing fast performance. This SKU offers sequential reads/writes of 3,430 MB/sec and 2,600 MB/sec respectively and random read/write performance of 420K IOPS and 380K IOPS respectively. The WD Black SN750 500GB is priced at $69.99 right now, which is the lowest price ever for the SSD at Amazon. The only problem with this deal is that it will be in stock on December 31st, which is after Christmas. Maybe this is a deal that you'd rather keep for yourself than gift to someone...

For another hot SSD deal, we turn to the Samsung 970 EVO 500GB SSD, which comes in at just $10 more expensive than the aforementioned WD Black SSD. The sequential reads and writes are rated for 3,400 MB/sec and 2,300 MB/sec respectively and random reads/writes are 370K IOPS/450K IOPS.

xbox one x
If a game console is more up to your speed, GameStop has the Xbox One X 1TB NBA 2K19 bundle for just $299. That price is good enough on its own, but the retailer is tossing in an extra black wireless Xbox One controller into the deal as well. Shipping is free (although it would likely arrive after Christmas), but you can choose the stock pickup option in order to get the console in time for Christmas.
