This is the ultimate PS5 storage upgrade, at least in terms of raw capacity. You're getting a massive 8TB drive here that could store the vast majority of most PS5 libraries with ease. At $330 off, this is the cheapest it's ever been and actually great value when you consider the usual high price of such premium drives.

The WD Black SN850X with Heatsink is a formidable option for PS5 owners, boasting read speeds up to 7300 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,300 MB/s - which is substantially above the 5,5000 MB/s read speed required by Sony.

This model also boasts a pre-installed heatsink, which is needed for PS5 and means that you won't need to fiddle around installing one yourself.

An 8TB SSD is absolutely massive, but to just give you some more context for that number that's enough space to store 80 full installations of Horizon Forbidden West (which come in at just under 100GB each). Whether you're trying to store tens of the best PS5 games, or hundreds of indie or PS4 releases, most users won't need to worry about running out of space any time soon.
