If you’re looking for a greatPS5 SSDdeal right now, you can save almost 50% on the WD Black SN850 SSD, which is perfect for those looking to expand their PlayStation 5 storage.

When it comes to NVMe SSDs, the WD Black SN850 SSD series are some of the best you can buy. It’s good news, then, that two capacity versions of the drive are on sale, with the 1TB modeljust £139.99(£255 for 2TB) and$167.57and$295respectively if you’re living in the US – the lowest price we’ve seen in the States.

Reaching high read speeds of up to 7000MB/s, WD Black’s SN850 is a second-gen PCIe 4.0 SSD and a high-end choice. Pre-equipped with a heatsink, you can play without any overheating concerns on PC and PS5, and its dimensions mean it’ll fit perfectly in the PS5’s SSD bay.

1TB of storage doesn’t always get you particularly far these days, though. Games have been increasing in size for a long time, the worst offenders likeRed Dead Redemption 2andCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) coming in at 105GB and 175GB respectively on PS4. If you’re playing on PS5, only 664GB of the console’s SSD space is actually usable, meaning it can fill up quickly.

If you’re after more storage for your PS4 games, that’s easier and cheaper to achieve thanks to support for standard external HDDs. However, you can only play PS5 games from the console’s internal SSD drives, so bear that in mind.
