The past few years have been filled with big game releases, and there’s a good chance your PS5’s storage is close to capacity. If that’s the case, consider heading over to Newegg, which is offering an internal 2TB SSD that’s designed for PS5 for just $100.
As an added bonus, this SSD comes with a free mouse pad valued at $20. It’s of the extra large variety, clocking in at nearly three-feet long, so you can rest your mouse and keyboard on it if needed. Or, you can toss it on the coffee table in your game room to protect it from water rings.
The big draw of the deal is snagging a 2TB SSD for just $100. As you’d expect, this is built to Sony’s high standards, allowing it to run games at speeds similar to that of built-in storage (on PS5, it gets up to 6100Mbps). It comes with a heatsink, so you won't have to buy one separately to use the SSD with your PS5.
If you decide to install it on your PC, that number jumps to 7400mbps--making this a good option for both PS5 and PC owners.
Installing an internal PS5 SSD isn’t as easy as simply slotting in a memory card. In fact, it requires you to pop open the faceplate and tinker with the insides of the console. Be sure to check out our comprehensive guide that’ll walk you through the entire procedure.
If you don't care about the mouse pad and prefer to shop at Amazon, you can also get this 2TB SSD at Amazon for $100.
While the above deal is currently one of the best ways to expand the storage on your PS5, you can also find a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD on sale for just $70 at Amazon. But you’re probably better off dropping another $30 and doubling that capacity to 2TB, which should serve you well for years to come.
