Get A 1TB SSD For PlayStation 5 For $75

This is one of the most affordable ways to upgrade your internal PS5 storage.

5 Comments

Looking to upgrade your PS5 storage capacity? Amazon has a great deal on Gammix XPG NVMe SSDs, with several models down to incredibly low prices. The most notable deal is the XPG 1TB Gammix S70 Blade, just $75, down from its usual $130. The listing says $80, but an additional coupon drops the price to $75. Last week, this SSD was available for $70, but it's still an awesome deal at five bucks more.

If you need more space, you’ll also find a 2TB Gammix model for $140 (down from $210) and a massive 4TB model for $330 (down from $480). All three are PS5-ready with heatsinks already attached.

Unlike upgrading the Xbox Series X SSD, which simply involves plugging in an expansion card to an input on the back of the console, the PS5 upgrade process is a bit more involved. Not only will you have to pop open the faceplate, but you’ll also need to remove a screw before gaining access to the SSD install location. It’s a pretty simply process--just be sure you know what you’re doing before you begin.

Not sold on the Gammix SSDs? There's also a 2TB Crucial SSD up for grabs for $131. Meanwhile, the Samsung 980 Pro is also on sale for a nice price at Amazon, so make sure to check out that deal if you prefer to go with a well-known brand for your storage solutions.

@Dezuria: No really everyone needs get it immediately. !!

After all, the price curve history of SSDs have always shown, that prices go down to its lowest for a gamespot article and right after go upward from then on. So says IGN, headlines.

No thank you, I am waiting for a PS5 proprietary $180-200 1 tb SSD, that you just plug in. I mean having to take off a cover, and use a screw driver... just too hard.

@jenovaschilld: Sadly, for 95% of console owners, you are spot on correct in your humorous take of willingness to improve.

For me, the SSD updates for my consoles and PC were the most awesome improvements that I have ever done. The speed increase is.. impressive.

@PixelAddict: Indeed, the quality of life improvement from upgrading my 8th gen consoles SSDs was one of the best investments. So far have not needed it for the PS5, and will not pay that for xbox, I still buy physical and resale them on Amazon.

I build a new gaming PC about every 2-3 years, and as soon as I heard 'proprietary' for X's ssd, my jaw dropped. The price curve that 2nd gen, 3rd gen, 4th gen ssd are as consistent as day and night.

The xbox uses a simple PC M.2 2230 but the shell is modified not to fit, also some drivers. Changing over to allow consumers to use their own SSDs is what they should do, now rather then later. Next hardware update or slim, should allow it, and allow a full sized M.2 at a wider range of speeds.
