Upgrading My PS5 Storage This Prime Day Was the Best Decision Yet
Hey everyone, so let me just say—my old, chunky launch model PS5 has been a loyal companion through thick and thin. I managed to snag one early after launch, which felt like winning the lottery at the time. But after years of gaming, trophy collecting, and endless downloads, the 825GB of internal storage just isn’t cutting it anymore. I’ve been living in constant fear of that dreaded “storage is full” pop-up. If you’ve been there, you know the pain. And with this year’s Prime Day in full swing, I decided it was finally time to give my console a serious upgrade.
Now, I work with PS5 accessories for a living, so I knew exactly what I needed—something fast, reliable, and most importantly, spacious. And wow, the SSD deals this Prime Day did not disappoint. With some options going as low as 7 cents per gigabyte, it felt like the perfect storm for storage hunters like me.
I was eyeing several top contenders. The WD BLACK SN850X 4TB deal caught my eye right away—$100 off and performance that can keep up with anything the PS5 Pro might throw at you in the future. But then there was the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB with a heatsink , which dropped to $149.99—an excellent price for one of the fastest Gen 4 SSDs out there. For those who just need a solid boost without breaking the bank, Lexar’s 1TB NM790 with a built-in heatsink was slashed down to $67. That's incredible value, especially if you're working with a tighter budget.

Choosing the right SSD really comes down to your gaming habits. For me, 4TB made the most sense. I play everything—from massive AAA titles like Death Stranding 2 to indie darlings like Crow Country . And as someone who subscribes to PlayStation Plus Premium, I like having the freedom to download new releases and explore the entire catalog without juggling install space. If you're big into online games like Fortnite , Dead by Daylight , or Marvel Rivals , having at least 2TB means fewer uninstall headaches every time an update drops.
For those rocking a newer PS5 Slim or the upcoming PS5 Pro with 1TB or 2TB already built in, you might be fine with just an extra 1TB. It's still a great way to gain more breathing room for future DLCs, patches, and media storage.
In the end, grabbing a high-capacity SSD during Prime Day wasn’t just a luxury—it was a necessity. My PS5 now has all the space it needs to keep up with my ever-growing library, and honestly, it feels like a brand-new console all over again. If your PS5 is gasping for space like mine was, there’s never been a better time to level up your storage.
