Cheap storage is bad, and good storage is expensive. This is why we are shocked to find that Amazon is offering this enormous 8TB SSD WD_BLACK 8TB SN850X for $330 off on Black Friday.
The WD_BLACK 8TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD is currently available for $579.99 / £549.99, a 38% discount off the list price of $929.99 / £879.99.
It will work with Windows computers, and you can increase the storage on your PS5 if you choose the Heatsink version, which is also on sale for $579.99.

Now, this might be the upgrade you are looking for over the PS5 Pro, which gives a little more graphics power, if you are a gamer with an extraordinarily large library that your PC or PS5’s meager storage cannot contain. Once more, the PS5 Heatsink version is required.
Slimmer form-factors and expanded storage in the PS5 are made possible by the M.2 SSD connector technology used in this model. The SN850X is a huge storage device that weighs only 8.6g and is barely the size of a thumb (3.15 x 0.87 x 0.15).
For blazingly quick game loading times, it also provides incredible read speeds of 7,200 MB/S and write rates of up to 6,600. Additionally, it has the PS5-required PCIe Gen4 standard.
“PCIe 4.0 is the fourth generation of the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express technology, which is used to help your CPU communicate with additional components (such as your SSD and graphics card via your motherboard,” our report from earlier this year clarified for those who are curious about the latter.
For added piece of mind, the manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty on this device.
