Prime Day may be over, but that doesn’t mean you’ve missed your chance to save a ton of money. If you’ve been building a new gaming PC or hope to play even more games on your PlayStation 5, storage capacity will be a big concern. It’s something most of us would be very happy to have no upper limit on. Unfortunately, that will never be the case in our lifetime. Although you can increase your storage quite a bit without having to spend a lot of money. Amazon has the WD_Black SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD for up to 56% off. That brings the price down to just $310.

Compatible with PlayStation 5 (with a trick)
For console gamers, the heatsink version is also discounted. A heatsink is crucial for using SSDs in a console. It is basically a piece of metal that can dissipate heat from the device. This stabilizes its temperature and can help eliminate performance problems. Crucially, this means you can use it with your PlayStation 5.
A standard PlayStation 5 only has an 825 GB drive. And on top of that, some of that space is used for core system files. That leaves the player with approximately 667.2 GB of usable storage for game installations. But you can expand it with an SSD with a heat sink.
Unfortunately, the 4TB WD_BLACK with heatsink is still listed at full price. However, the 1TB SSD is 31% off right now, priced at $90. If that’s still too small for you, the 2TB version is 19% off. That’s more than triple its storage capacity for just $162.
If PS5 isn’t your forte and you’re just looking for something to plug into a PC without the heatsink, the standard WD_Black 4TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD is down 56%. You’ll save almost $400 on all that space and be ready to download many more games.
