Best Black Friday PS5 SSD Deals 2021: Expand your storage for less

Check out the best Black Friday 2021 deals and options for PS5 compatible SSDs and expanded storage.

Published on Nov. 19, 2021

While last generation wasn’t the easiest to get through if you had a limited storage capacity on PS4, there were at least a lot of relatively cheap options for external and internal upgrades. With PS5 and its super-fast SSD however, pricing is pretty different and so are the potential storage solutions available.

Unlike the PS4 however, upping the number of ‘Gigs’ available to store games and applications is a little more accessible thanks to the PS5’s expandable storage slot, separate from its core, internal SSD.

In regards to pricing, since we’re talking a massive uptick in storage speed here, that does mean prices are a little beefier this time around. Not only that, but on the technical side, since this is a custom-designed storage solution, the requirements and specifications are stricter than last-gen. For example, due to the heat produced by these components, heatsinks are recommended, adding another aspect to research and consider. Thankfully, our friends over at Digital Foundry have a great article covering all these details and more, including a list of compatible SSDs they’ve tested and recommend. They also include a video showcasing the slowest compatible SSD currently on the market for those of you intrigued by the results!

Best PS5 SSD Deals

The PS5 SSD expansion feature didn't get unlocked until fairly recently, so it’s possible we won't see many SSDs drop in price. We’re hoping there’ll be a few decent deals you can snag though. Rather than searching all across the whole wide web all on your lonesome for deals, we’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of the best places to net great prices on PS5 storage expansions. While there may not be many, be sure to keep checking back as we’ll be updating this page during the countdown to Black Friday and during the mega sales event with as many deals as we can find!

Additionally, we’ve included a couple of heatsinks as options for any SSD listed that doesn't come with one already.

To that end, we’ll be updating this article as often as possible as new deals arise.
