The PS5 library has grown considerably over the past few years, and if you’ve been gaming since 2020, there’s a good chance you’re running out of storage space. It’s not uncommon to see titles take up 100GB or more–meaning your drive can fill up from just a handful of games. If you’re juggling games on and off your PS5, consider picking up the Samsung 980 Pro SSD with Heatsink (2TB), as it’s on sale for just $135 (down from $230) at Best Buy until tonight at 10 PM PT / 1 AM ET (July 5).
$135 (was $230)
The SSD has been priced around $180 throughout most of the year–deals such as this one have become increasingly uncommon in 2024. That makes this current offer of $135 for 2TB mighty enticing. This model includes a built-in heatsink, so getting it installed in your PS5 requires little more than popping off the faceplate and undoing a few screws. The Samsung 980 Pro has been one of the most popular storage expansion solutions for years. We tested the 980 Pro, and it’s still working perfectly years later. It’s virtually indistinguishable from the PS5’s internal SSD.
Of course, you can also use this with your PC. This high-end NVMe SSD boasts read speeds up to 7,000MB/s and write speeds up to 5,100MB/s. If you do use it on PC, you can check out the Samsung Magician software to get updates on the drive’s health, overall performance, and check for firmware updates.
