PS5 users who are running out of space on their SSD can pick up a pretty awesome Lightning Deal at Amazon right now. Gammix’s highly rated XPG S70 Blade NVMe SSD is available in its 1TB capacity for only $65 (was $90). If you want to future-proof your PS5 against increasing Call of Duty install sizes, you can snag the 2TB model for only $118 (was $210). Though overkill for most, the 4TB edition is up for grabs for $239 (was $299).
XPG Gammix S70 Blade PS5 SSD
$65 for 1TB | $118 for 2TB | $239 for 4TB
This is an enticing deal and is one of the cheapest options we’ve seen for more than doubling your PS5 storage in 2024. The S70 Blade boasts up to 7,4800 MB/s read speed on PC and 6,300 MB/s on PS5. To use it for PS5, you’ll need to connect it to a heatsink, which doesn’t come with this particular SSD–but you can grab one for $6.
It has been fully tested to run on the console, and it’s even backed by a five-year limited warranty. And with tons of great games arriving later this year, now is a great time to expand your storage capabilities without breaking the bank.
If Amazon sells out, you can get the same SSD at Best Buy for $5 more, which is still a pretty great deal.
Unlike upgrading the Xbox Series X SSD, which simply involves plugging in an expansion card into the slot on the back of the console–you can get Western Digital’s official Xbox expansion card for $140 (1TB) or $80 (512GB) at Amazon–the PS5 upgrade process requires you to pop off the PS5’s cover and remove a screw before gaining access to the open M.2 slot.
If you’d rather go with a better-known brand, Amazon has deals on multiple Western Digital PS5 SSDs that come with heatsinks preinstalled. You can get the WD Black SN850X 1TB for $97 or the 2TB model for $140. The newer, faster WD Black SN850P 2TB SSD is available for $160 at Amazon.
