PS5 SSD pricing can always be a bit funny. A ton of US and UK retailers like to state any given drive is on sale, but when I use my handy CamelCamelCamel price checker, it's actually been far cheaper over the last six months, which is a huge bummer.

Take, for example, the Samsung Pro 990, which is currently our team's go-to PS5 SSD. Retailers like Amazon state it's on sale as part of this week's Black Friday PS5 deals, but according to our price checker, its current $199.99 "deal" price is actually marginally more than the $170 it was averaging over the last few months. That's why I recommend that you grab the Crucial P310 SSD while it's down to $239.99 at Best Buy instead.

Crucial P310 4TB Internal SSD with Heatsink for PS5 | $377.99 $239.99 at Best BuySave $138 - Crucial has dropped the prices to a myriad of its SSDS, including shaving $138 off this M.2 drive that's designed with the PS5 in mind. For just $239.99, you can grab 4TB worth of extra storage for all your PS Plus games, and grab this SSD for its lowest ever price so far.

Buy it if:

✅ You own a PS5✅ You're an active PlayStation Plus Premium member✅ You play a lot of storage-demanding online games

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want the fastest speeds❌4TB is too much

For just $40 more than the 'discounted' 2TB Samsung Pro 990 SSD, you're getting double its storage with 4TB to play with. That's more than plenty to download as many new PlayStation Plus Premium games as your heart desires, and I should know, as I have a 4TB SSD taking up the M.2 slot in the back of my Sony console this very moment.

Should you buy the Crucial P310 4TB Internal SSD for the PS5?

I actually needed 4TB worth of every space, so this drive was a perfect fit. If you prefer physical games online, don't play online games like Fortnite that take a nasty chunk of your onboard console storage with every update, and are not an active PS Plus member, you likely won't have the need to have 4000GB at your disposal.

For me, it's been a relief as I've been able to focus purely on what I want to play, and have been able to spend less time in my console settings picking out what games to delete. In fact, because of this drive, I reinstalled Fortnite as I finally had the over 90GB worth of space to keep it around, and as a result, I've been able to enjoy the latest Simpsons crossover, which is a big deal as I'm pretty obsessed with the residents of Springfield. I've enjoyed it so much that I rejoined Fortnite Crew too, something I'd not have bothered with had I been stuck with the storage-demanding needs of the game.

While its 4TB storage is all well and good, this drive is definitely not as speedy as the Samsung 990 Pro mentioned earlier, but it's not too bad either. According to its on-the-box specs, the Crucial P310 4TB Internal SSD can reach average sequential reads/writes up to 7,100 and 6,000MB/s, which is pretty much what you'd expect. The recommended sequential speed for a PS5 dive is at least 5,500 MB/s, so you're not going to have any issues loading or running games straight off the Crucial P310 SSD at least - it'll get the job done.

Of course, if money is no issue and you'd rather have the best of the best, you can still grab the 2TB Samsung 990 Pro for $199.99 at Amazon right now. Just don't come crawling to me when it drops back down to the $170 mark after Black Friday is over and done with.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
