Amazon's PS5 SSD deals currently feature the Patriot Viper VP4300 at the cheapest price we've ever seen it listed for.

You can get your hands on the Patriot Viper VP4300 for only $164.99 (was $216) for a $51 saving. It's worth noting that the previous lowest rate we're able to verify was $184.99, so you're getting an additional $20 off here. This drive is one of the best PS5 SSDs and comes with two heatsinks, a thin graphene unit, and a thicker aluminum model, making it perfect to be slotted into Sony's system out of the box.

The sequential performance of the Patriot Viper VP4300 is perhaps its greatest strength whether inside your PS5 or running in one of the best gaming PCs. With up to 7,400 MB/s read and 5,500 MB/s write, there's little debate why this all-star Gen 4.0 NVMe unit is one of the best SSDs for gaming. Keep in mind, though, that we usually see read rates in the 5,500 MB/s range, for parity with the console's internal drive.

If you're after more storage solutions for your system, then we're also rounding up some of the best PS5 external hard drives, too, so you can keep even more games and media on hand when you want them.

Today's best PS5 SSD deal

We generally recommend that the thicker aluminium heatsink be used for your PS5, and the thin graphene be utilized when inside your PC. This is because the console has no on-board heat dissipation solution to speak of, so it'll need all the help it can get in keeping those core temperatures low!
