While you can increase the storage on your PlayStation 5 in several ways, including plugging in an external hard drive, only an internal solid-state drive (SSD) will provide the same top performance you’re accustomed to from the PS5’s onboard storage. However, you can’t just pop in any SSD on the market; it has to be designed for the PS5 to ensure that it fits and can withstand the heat of high-performance gaming.

This is where the WD Black SN850X comes in. It’s designed specifically to meet the needs of the most demanding PS5 games, from the best RPGs to the best sports games, with a superfast PCIe Gen4 interface that allows data transfer speeds of up to 7,300MB/sec. A built-in heatsink also ensures that it can sustain this performance during marathon online battles.

Storage prices may be going down each year, but serious gaming still requires a high-performance SSD, and it’s hard to find a better price than this WD Black SN850X 1TB SSD deal for only $120.

You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to get into PC gaming because there are gaming laptop deals like Best Buy's offer for the Acer Nitro 5. The starter gaming laptop, which is already relatively affordable at its original price of $950, is currently even cheaper at just $700. You'll be able to use the $250 in savings on video games and gaming accessories, but you'll have to act fast if you want it because we're not sure how much time is remaining before the bargain disappears, and once that happens, we don't know when you'll get another chance at it.

The Acer Nitro 5 is equipped with the 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, and 16GB of RAM. It's not going to challenge the performance of the top-of-the-line models of the best gaming laptops, but it's going to be more than enough to play the best PC games. Some of the more demanding titles may force you to choose low graphics settings, but that's a fine trade-off for a gaming laptop that you can get for less than $1,000.
