Amazon Prime Day PS5 SSD deals: expand your storage at a deep discount

Give yourself the gift of expanded PlayStation 5 storage this Amazon Prime Day with the very best PS5 SSD deals around.

The PS5 is an absolutely fantastic console, most players agree, but one of the most irksome pain points is undoubtedly the limited amount of storage space available out of the box. Sure, 500GB might sound like a lot, but by the time you take into account space needed for the UI, regular updates and of course the PlayStation games themselves, you can quickly find yourself in a cycle of deleting and reinstalling titles.

Fortunately, Sony was wise enough to build in a fix in the form of an insertable SSD. Installing one into the PS5 is a rather involved process, but ultimately worth it for those who like to fill up their console dashboard with lots of digital titles. There’s a slew of PS5 SSD deals available to be had this Amazon Prime Day, whereby multiple SSDs – from various different manufacturers – have had their prices slashed.

All the included PS5 SSD deals available over the two-day Amazon Prime Day period are available exclusively to Amazon Prime members. If your subscription has either lapsed or you’re yet to hop on board, rest easy knowing that you can sign up for a 30-day free trial right here on this page, which will unlock those attractive discounts on PS5 SSDs. You’ll also gain access to Amazon Prime Gaming as a bonus perk, letting you unlock cosmetic rewards and loot in participating games.

A PS5 SSD not only has the benefit of expanding your PS5 storage greatly, making way for giant-sized games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Grand Turismo 7, but also enables your PS5 console to run faster too. That means less time looking at loading screens, waiting blankly for your game to start, as super-fast speeds finally make themselves known. You’ll notice the difference almost immediately after installing the PS5 SSD.

    PS5 SSD requirements

    • PCIe Gen4 interface
    • Minimum 5,500MB/s read and write speeds
    • Heatsink (many models come with these but they can also be DIYed)
    • 22mm width

    To ensure the best compatibility be sure that your new PS5 SSD adheres to these conditions. Other drives may work but this does not equate to getting the best performance out of your drive.
