The Prime Day PS5 deals come in many forms, but we think storage solutions are still one of the best kinds of PS5 peripheral to get cheap in the sales. And instead of those more flashy internal PS5 SSDs, the world of PS5 external hard drives is the place to be to solve your storage woes - and to do it for less is extra sweet!

And that's what's going on today as our favorite external hard drive for PS5 is down to a record low price of just $175 at Amazon (was $249.99). It hasn't been this low since August last year but even then, this hard drive was only $10 cheaper.

This is a superb price for a quality drive that will allow you to keep your games mobile - but safe - and increase the number of games you can have within arms reach. This is something that's highly valuable as we reach the very peak of the PS4 game library now. And what better way to do that than with a drive that's basically having a super-fast internal SSD on the end of a USB cable attached to the outside of your console.

As the Prime Day gaming deals go, this is one of our top picks so far. You can check out the deal below, then some of the wider deals, and then also some of the latest prices on those internal SSDs a bit below that too.
