This PS5 SSD is on sale — save $100
The Seagate Game Drive internal SSD being installed in the PS5.

Gamers who need extra space in their PlayStation 5 should think about taking advantage of PS5 SSD deals, as installing these devices is the easiest way to expand your console's storage. There's a tempting bargain from Best Buy right now if you're interested -- a $100 discount for the 2TB model of the Seagate Game Drive for the PS5, slashing its price from $260 to a more affordable $160. We're not sure how much time is remaining before you miss out on the savings though, so we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase immediately.

Why you should buy the Seagate Game Drive for the PS5
The original PlayStation 5 only had an 825GB hard drive, which grew to 1TB for the PlayStation 5 Slim, and then to 2TB for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro. However, for most gamers, that's still not enough space if you want to install multiple of the best PS5 games at the same time. With a PS5 SSD like the Seagate Game Drive, you'll get extra storage not just for your video games, but also for the screenshots and recordings that you take, and the save data for your progress. The internal SSD is officially licensed so you don't have to worry about bricking the console, and it's got a custom heatsink that will keep it running at peak performance even after hours of playing.
