If you managed to score a PS5 restock over the holiday season, you might already exist pushing the limits of the panel's stock 825GB drive. Considering that some of the best PS5 games can demand upwardly of 70GB of storage space, the standard hard drive often doesn't stretch very far. Thankfully adding more storage to your PS5 is piece of cake, and with this deal it's now even cheaper.

Right now, you can get a WD_Black 500GB SN850 NVMe SSD for $129 at Amazon. That's a sizeable $70 off its usual cost of $199. It'due south important to note that this is the model with comes with a pre-installed heatsink. Sony advises that any additional SSD added to your console sports a cooling arrangement, and so buying this model saves you from having to source a compatible 3rd-political party heatsink and adhere it yourself.

The WD_Black SN850 SSD hits all of Sony's required benchmarks and is confirmed as PS5 compatible by the manufacturer. We've as well tested the bulldoze in a PS5 ourselves and can report that it works flawlessly with the next-gen console. When running games off the SN850 SSD we actually experienced shorter loading times compared to playing them from the PS5's stock hard drive.

Ane of the best things about upgrading your PS5 internal storage is that adding a new SSD doesn't replace the panel'south stock drive. Instead, you lot get the extra storage space in addition to the 825GB that comes every bit standard with the PS5. This means you'll have no trouble storing dozens of games, even titles that require massive amounts of storage space such as Call of Duty Vanguard.

Much like the panel itself, PS5 compatible SSDs are often pretty difficult to track down as more and more than owners look to boost their internal storage. This deal is unlikely to stay in stock for long, so be sure to take hold of yourself an SN850 SSD for a discounted toll while you yet can.
