Compared to the PS4, the PS5 console boasts incredibly fast loading times. Getting into your game from the dashboard only takes a few seconds, whereas before it could take upwards of a couple of minutes. That's because the PS5 has gotten rid of the traditional hard drive in favor of a much faster PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 solid state drive (SSD). The only problem is, the PS5 only holds up to 1TB of storage. Today's games can take up to a whopping 150GB of storage capacity each. The best way to increase your storage without compromising on the speed is to install a second internal SSD. Afraid of opening up your PS5? It's actually very easy (Sony has an official video guide). Opening the PS5 itself doesn't even require any tools.
Right now there's a deal out there for a WD Black SN850 1TB SSD for only $109.99. That's definitely an excellent deal for an officially PS5 licensed SSD brand. However, if you want to save a little more money then there's an SSD that is just as fast and just as PS5 compatible.
XPG S70 Blade 1TB M.2 SSD with Heatsink for $98
The XPG Gammix S70 Blade is not only the least expensive 1TB PS5 compatible SSD available right now, it's the only 1TB PS5 compatible SSD under $100. Just because it's the cheapest doesn't mean it's the slowest. In fact, the S70 is actually among the fastest SSDs with transfer speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s read and 6,800MB/s write. It's on par with the likes of the WD Black SN850, the Samsung 980 Pro, or the Seagate Firecude 530. To make this deal even sweeter, it comes with a low-profile aluminum heatsink that will easily fit in the PS5 bay.
