This early 4th of July PS5 deal bags you one of our favorite SSDs for a record low price
This early 4th of July PS5 deal is a sure-fire way to solve any storage concerns you have in one fell swoop - and do it for a lowest ever price.
Right now, you can grab the Crucial X8 2TB external PS5 SSD for $189.99 at Amazon (was $220) (opens in new tab). This equals the drive's lowest ever price that we've only ever seen three times since the product launched back in 2020, and so represents the best possible opportunity to pick it up and store all your PS5 games, and store and play your PS4 games. For full disclosure, the drive has hung around at this price for a bit, but it was only back in late March that it was nearly $200, and in February that it was at its full price.
Given the size and remaining relevance - and attraction, of course - of that latter library, a PS5 external hard drive is the perfect solution to having multiple games within arms reach, while also having a safe place to store the PS5 games you want to be able to play when you're ready to.
While it might not match the performance of those internal drives vying to be the best PS5 SSD money can buy, a drive like the Crucial X8 is one of the closest solutions you can get, offering speeds of around the 1,000MB/s mark.
