Here Are the Best SSD Deals for PlayStation 5 During Amazon's October Prime Day Sale
SSD prices have been dropping fairly dramatically in the past few months. This is especially good news for PlayStation 5 gamers looking for an opportunity to upgrade the storage on their consoles. During Amazon’s October Prime Day Sale which kicks off today, you can pick up a 2TB SSD, which will triple your PS5’s total storage capacity, for just a tad over $100. If you’ve got the budget, 4TB models are also on sale for as low as $200. All the SSDs I’ve listed below are guaranteed to be PS5 compatible and most are drop-in ready with pre-installed heatsinks.
If you’re looking for the absolute best PCIe Gen 4 SSD on the market, then look no further than the Samsung 990 Pro. It’s still considered one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSDs available and a great choice for your gaming PC’s boot drive. It’s PS5 compatible, although technically overkill. All components are manufactured in-house, including the Samsung Pascal controller and 7th gen TLC NAND flash chips. Also, unlike every other SSD on this list, the 990 Pro has DRAM cache, which offers better write performance. Although gamers shouldn’t notice any performance difference either way, it’s still the preferred type of SSD to use as a boot drive for your PC.
The 990 Evo Plus is Samsung’ newest PCIe Gen 4 SSD. This is an excellent drive for both your gaming PC and your PlayStation 5 console at an economical price. It exceeds Sony’s minimim speed recommendation for the PS5, boasting sequential speeds of up to 7,250 read and 6,300MB/s write. The main difference between this drive and the more expensive 990 Pro is that this is a DRAM-less drive. The Samsung 990 Evo Plus does not have a preinstalled heatsink, so you’ll need to add your own for about $7.
The Lexar NM790 is another popular choice for PS5 gamers. This is another DRAM-less PCI-E 4×4 drive with transfer speeds of up to 7,400MB/s read and 6,500MB/s write. Both 2TB and 8TB models are on sale. The PS5 is compatible with 8TB SSDs. The Lexar Play is identical to the NM790 in hardware, but with a different heatsink design.
The P310 is a very fast DRAM-less QLC-based PCI-E 4×4 SSD drive with transfer speeds of up to 7,100MB/s read and 6,000MB/s write, which easily passes Sony’s recommended minimum requirement of 5,5000MB/s. Both 2TB model is also already equipped with a pre-installed heatsinks.
