One of our favorite PS5 SSD deals is currently available at Best Buy, enabling you to pick up a top SSD for less. It's a great choice if you want to expand your console's storage or pick up a compatible drive before the PS5 Pro arrives.

The Seagate FireCuda 530R 2TB SSD is discounted to just $139.99 (was 249.99) at Best Buy, right now with a few other retailers also matching the saving. It's a $105 price cut and, according to our data, matches the lowest-ever price at Amazon. At $139.99, this drive is also cheaper than many similar spec 2TB PS5 compatible drives right now.

Although the Seagate FireCuda 530R is fully compatible with the PS5 out of the box, you can also save on the Seagate Game Drive M.2 SSD for PS5 which is just $159.99 (was $259.99) at Best Buy - a $100 discount. While I would still recommend that most choose the 530R, this is a solid alternative if you want an officially licensed option with PlayStation branding.
