Amazon's PS5 SSD deals are currently covering some of the best drives going right now. 

And none are better than this deal, offering one of the very best PS5 SSDs for its lowest ever price: The WD Black SN850 1TB Heatsink drive is down to just $169.99 (was $280) - that's a massive $110 off. We've never seen this particular Gen 4.0 drive sell this cheap before, so now is the best time to expand your console's storage at a very competitive rate. This PS5 SSD deal is not to be missed for anyone wanting exceptional sequential performance in Sony's latest system and is perfect for those who bided their time for a deal while the PS5 library grows with recent releases like Dying Light 2, Horizon Forbiddwn West, and Elden Ring. 

What's particularly appealing about this offer is that the WD Black SN850 is selling on its own for $149.99 (was $165), so the gap between the ordinary and Heatsink versions is getting smaller, and is now just $20. This positions the PS5-ready SSD at a very competitive rate and means that you won't have to buy an external heatsink or heat spreader to use it in your console, which, with a third-party option and shipping included, would be the same price, if not more expensive, then this unit. Having said all that, if you're searching with an eye on a PC-friendly device then the heatsink-less version is still one of the best SSDs for gaming you can buy.
