Where to Buy the Cheapest and Fastest PS5 SSDs – Black Friday 2022

IF you’re looking to upgrade your PS5 console or PC this Black Friday, there’s no better place to start than an SSD hard drive.

Solid state drives are faster than the average hard drive or SD card and can hold much more storage.

If you currently have a PS5 console with our best PS5 bundle deals, or have had one since launch, an M.2 drive will help tremendously when installing all of these PlayStation Plus titles.

PS5 consoles are compatible with a wide range of M.2 SSD drives, and a selection of desktop PC motherboards and laptops can also accommodate additional M.2 storage.

If you are buying for PC, please first check if your system accepts M.2 drives.

Cheapest SSD for PS5 and PC – Black Friday Deals

This is widely considered to be the cheapest yet best performing SSD and should work with either your PS5 or PC.

500GB of storage is pretty affordable, costing less than a brand new PS5 game, but the price is going up fast.

Fastest SSD for PS5 and PC – Black Friday Deals

The WD_BLACK SN850X is considered one of the fastest consumer drives on the market and is perfect for PS5.

The 1TB drive is quite expensive, but the 2TB drive is cheaper than the Crucial P5 Plus equivalent.

A 4TB drive is also available, but it’s incredibly expensive and not discounted.

Best PS5 SSD Heatsink – Black Friday Deals

The SN850X SSDs have the option to come with a headsink for an additional cost, although you can save some money by buying a different cooler and this is our pick.

It’s incredibly affordable at just £7.99 and is guaranteed to fit within the tight confines of the PS5’s SSD tray.

However, it is unlikely to fit laptops and may not fit certain PC configurations.

If overheating is an issue for your PS5, an SSD heatsink is a natural choice and it will save you some money compared to other brands.
