If you’re running out of space on your PS5–it’s surprisingly easy to fill up the drive–you may want to consider picking up an internal SSD. You can quickly install a compatible SSD and avoid the pesky problem of constantly deleting and redownloading games. Right now, there’s a great deal on the stellar Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD at Amazon. You can grab a PS5-ready model with a heatsink already attached for only $100 (lowest price ever).
Alternatively, you can snag one without a heatsink for only $75 (also the lowest price ever). If you opt for this edition, you’ll need to install a heatsink to use it on PS5, but you can pick one up for cheap at Amazon. You can grab the SSD for only $110. Since the PS5 actually only has 667GB of usable space, you’re more than doubling your total storage by installing the 1TB 980 Pro.
The PS5 requires a fairly high-end SSD with fast speeds, and the Samsung 980 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD ticks all the right boxes. When installed properly, you’ll experience speeds that are virtually indistinguishable from the console’s built-in SSD. And since it’s manufactured by Samsung, you’ll know that you’re getting a reliable drive that’s built to last.
