Jump to:

The PS5 is a fantastic game console right out of the box, but if you find yourself butting up against its storage limits, you're in the right place.

One of Sony's big advancements from the PS4 was a shift to SSD storage, allowing for much faster loading of games, textures, and level geometry. The trouble is, this means your old portable HDD won't be fast enough.

As we've covered in our guide, installing the drive is relatively easy - but you'll need to buy one first. 

We've rounded up the best PS5 SSD deals here, ranging from a 1TB WD Black option for $109 all the way to a huge 4TB SSD with 10% off.
