Get A 1TB PS5 SSD For Only $51 At Amazon For Cyber Monday

This Lexar SSD is an easy and affordable upgrade for your PS5.

Comments

You never have to wait long to boot up a game on your PS5, but there's never truly enough storage capacity on that console thanks to the increasing requirements of modern games. That's a problem that can be easily fixed by taking advantage of a Cyber Monday sale on solid-state drives, as these storage units have increased in capacity and have become more affordable over time.

The Lexar NM790 is a great example of getting the most bang for your buck, as this 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD is just $51 at Amazon. Normally $80, it has a read speed of up to 7400MB/s, so you won't have to wait long for a new instance of your favorite game to boot up. The SSD is compatible with PS5 and also comes with a heatsink so that it can remain cool under pressure.

If you'd like to future-proof your PS5 for the next couple of years, the 4TB model is worth looking at. This is pricier at $187, but you're still getting a great discount here, as it normally costs $230. This will give you more than enough room to install a few resource-heavy games like Call of Duty, Destiny 2, and several other recent releases, with plenty of leftover space for video captures and smaller games. These Lexar SSDs have speeds that are on par with Samsung and Western Digital's latest PS5 offerings, and this is the lowest price for any PS5 SSD.

In case the Lexar SSDs are sold out, you can grab some alternatives that'll offer a similar level of performance. The 2TB Samsung 990 Pro is $140 right now, a 4TB Western Digital SSD is priced at $300, and a quick 1TB Crucial T500 is available for $65.
