Amazon's early Prime Day deals are currently offering the historic lowest-ever price on one of the fastest and most reliable SSDs for PS5.
The Samsung 980 Pro, which is one of the best SSDs for PS5, is now retailing for only $69.99 (was $90) for 22% off. This is a rate we first saw briefly back in mid-June and one that's yet to be beaten for the 1TB version. Things are arguably more interesting with the 2TB version, though. That's because you can double the amount of overall storage for just $139.99 (was $160) for 13% knocked off the MSRP.
Now, these savings may not seem too deep, however, it's worth remembering that the rates on Gen 4 NVMe SSDs have only plummeted recently. Cast your mind back to the just February of this year, mere months ago, and the same top-end drive would cost you around $250, so you're getting an incredible saving here regardless of capacity.
It's just a taste of what's to come from Amazon Prime Day 2023. We're expecting big things from the upcoming Prime Day PS5 SSD deals and the Prime Day PS5 deals in general. We also recommend keeping a watch on the Prime Day gaming deals so that you don't miss out later this month.
Best early Prime Day deals
We adore the Samsung 980 Pro and consider it to be not only one of the best drives for the PS5 but also our pick for the best SSD overall. We said in our 5-star review that: "The Samsung 980 Pro is a speed machine, and easily the fastest SSD we've ever tested. If you want to future-proof your system, this is the SSD for you". It's as true now as it was three years ago, except you're paying a mere fraction of the original asking price for both PC and PS5 compatibility.
What makes the Samsung 980 Pro so bulletproof comes down to its sequential read-and-write figures of 7,000 MB/s read and 5,100 MB/s write which means it's more-than-enough for the console's recommended minimum reads of 5,500 MB/s. What's more, the chunky heatsink means that it will stay cool inside the PS5's M.2 port which doesn't natively feature a heatsink of its own, so this one really is ideal.
