Samsung 1TB SSD For PS5 Is Only $100 Right Now
If you’ve had your PS5 for a while, you might already be familiar with a particular annoyance that arises as your library of games has grown. With just 667GB of usable space, those who regularly play their PS5–especially those who play live service games–can fill up the entire drive quicker than they might expect. Thankfully, there’s an easy solution to this pesky issue: installing your own internal SSD. Right now, there’s an excellent deal on the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD at Amazon and Best Buy. You can get this PS5-compatible SSD for only $100.

It’s important to note that this is the earlier edition of the 980 Pro, so it doesn’t come with a heatsink. You need a heatsink to use this SSD (and all others) with the PS5. Thankfully, third-party heatsinks are really cheap. For example, you can get this well-reviewed heatsink at Amazon for only $9. Securing the SSD to the heatsink is a simple and quick process.
The PS5 requires a fairly high-end SSD with fast speeds, and the Samsung 980 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD ticks all the right boxes. When installed properly, you’ll experience speeds that are almost indistinguishable from the console’s built-in SSD. And since it’s manufactured by Samsung, you’ll know that you’re getting a reliable drive that’s built to last.
