It's always tempting to pick up a whole shiny new PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or a pricy gaming laptop whenever the next big sales events roll around. But sometimes, just grabbing one of the best SSDs for gaming is all you need to give your aging hardware a little boost and fight back against the ever-demanding storage requirements of the latest games.
If you fancy grabbing the brand-new Oblivion Remaster on Steam, there's 125GB you'll need to set aside to get it installed. Fortunately, Amazon Gaming Week is at the rescue as and there's plenty of storage savings on offer to give you that 125GB you need, and then some. Right now, you can grab an extra 4TB for your desktop as the WD BLACK 4TB SN7100 is down to $269.99 at Amazon, saving you 16% off its hefty MSRP of $319.99. Even the best SSDs for PS5 haven't been forgotten about, as Samsung's 990 PRO has dropped to $179.99, and it comes with a heatsink to keep your console cool while you adventure across Cyrodiil.
If you'd prefer something more portable, the SanDisk 2TB Extreme external SSD is $148.12 at Amazon during this week's sales. You won't be able to run Oblivion from an external drive, but you can store it for safekeeping. After spending a fair time wading my way through the sea of savings, I've listed all the ones most worth your time below - but remember, you only have until May 4 to grab them.
When does Amazon Gaming Week end?
This year's Amazon Gaming Week runs from April 28 to May 4, 2025. With that in mind, there's only a matter of days left to grab any of these SSD and storage deals, before they shoot back up to full price.
If you've already got plenty of storage, I've been rounding up all the best cheap PlayStation Plus deals this month, which are bound to get your PS5 SSD filled up in no time. If you want to get more value out of your PS5, pairing your Sony console with one of the best PS5 controllers and best PS5 headsets is a good place to start.
