Black Friday PS5 SSD deals 2023 - the best deals still available

WD BLACK SN850 Black Ops Cold War Edition 1TB: was $69.99 now $59.99 at Walmart
Save $10 - A small saving but one that means this 1TB drive is excellent value right now. Just team it with a cheap (but reliable) heatsink and you're up and running. I'd say this is great for Call of Duty fans, but in reality, you won't see the design once it's covered by a heatsink and inside the PS5! Still, very cool though isn't it?

Samsung 980 Pro 1TB: Was $129 now $119.99 at Amazon
Save $9 - This is the cheapest price we've ever seen on the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB model. It may not sound like much, however, you're really saving $30 here, as the previous MSRP was $150 before it was lowered earlier in the month.

WD Black SN850 1TB: Was $279.99 now $136.88 at Amazon
Save 51% - At better than half price, the WD Black SN850 1TB is a hard value to argue against given it's our top PS5 SSD you can get right now.

WD_BLACK 1TB SN850X: Was $180 now $136.65 at Amazon
Save 24% - Western Digital's SSDs are reliable components for expanding your PS5's internal storage and 1TB SN850X provides a significant amount of memory for installing more games. This is the lowest price we've seen for this SSD to date, so make sure to snap it up before it disappears.

Crucial X8 2TB Portable SSD: Was £232.31 now £128.04 at Amazon
Save 45% - The Crucial X8 is a simple way to expand your PS5's storage without getting a more expensive internal SSD. But there are caveats, for a constant connection, you should use the front-facing USB-C port, and PS5 games will still need to be run from the internal storage but PS4 games will run just fine. With that in mind, this is the cheapest we've ever seen the Crucial X8.

WD_BLACK P10 4TB Game Drive: Was £130 now £115.09 at Amazon
Save 11% - Thanks to its tough chassis and fast read/write speeds, it's easy to recommend the P10. It's not fast enough to run PS5 games, but PS4 games will play and load just fine, letting you free up internal storage.

WD 20TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive: Was £486 now £287.99 at Amazon
Save 41% - You will almost certainly never need this much storage, and this external hard drive runs at about the speed of the PS4's internal drive, so it will lag behind SSD options. However, if you're simply looking for affordable memory, we've never seen this drive go this cheap before.

WD_BLACK 8TB D10 Game Drive: Was £242 now £189.99 at Amazon
Save 21% - The D10 offers a good middle ground on speed, storage, and price. 8TB is more space than you'll likely ever need, and the drive runs faster than the PS4's internal storage, so your older games will load a little faster on PS5. It's cheaper than an SSD, but it can't run PS5 games.

WD_BLACK SN850 2TB: Was £290 now £187.99 at Amazon
Save £102 - Simply put, this is the best internal SSD you can buy for the PS5. It's officially licensed by Sony and far exceeds the PS5's requirements, meaning faster loading and install times. This is the cheapest we've seen the drive, but it looks like this could take a few weeks to be dispatched.

WD_BLACK SN850X 1TB: Was £181 now £99.99 at Amazon
Save 45% - While it has less space than its 2TB sibling, this is an excellent internal SSD you can buy for the PS5. It's officially licensed by Sony and far exceeds the PS5's requirements, meaning faster loading and install times. This is the first time we've seen this SSD fall below £100.

Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB PCIe 4.0 M.2: Was £139.50 now £92.99 at Amazon
Save 33% - The Samsung 980 Pro 1TB model has never been cheaper than this, making now the ideal opportunity to get your hands on this top-performing Gen 4.0 drive and heatsink for less. This is the cheapest 1TB SSD we've seen this Black Friday. You'll need to supply your own heatsink though!
