The Best PS5 SSD Upgrades to Buy on Black Friday 2023
Ever since Sony enabled the SSD upgrade slot of the PS5, many buyers have been waiting till the bargain heavy period of Black Friday to finally take the plunge and buy a storage upgrade for their Playstation 5 console. Unlike previous generations of SSD supported in PS3 and PS5, the Storage upgrade slot in the PS5 utilizes a particularly cutting edge kind of SSD media, known as PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD. This form of media was first commercially released back at the start of 2020 and even then, some PS5 compatible SSDs (such as the WD Black SN850 and Samsung 980 Pro) were featured on Black Friday that year. Fast forward to this latest Black Friday 2023 event and there are ALOT of PS5 Compatible SSDs planned for sales/bargains and today I wanted to help you make sure you picked the RIGHT SSD FIRST TIME! I will be updating this page regularly throughout the week of Black Friday with more PS5 SSD deals as they appear. Alongside this, I have broken down the best PS5 SSD upgrades this black Friday to look out for based on Price, Performance, Capacity, Durability and even Recommended PS5 Heatsinks. So, let’s take a look at those SSDs that are compatible with PS5 and which SSDs will be on sale. IMPORTANT – Remember that any SSD in the Amazon Warehouse department (opened/used/refurbished) will be 20% off this Black Friday.
Recommended PS5 SSD Upgrade Guides Recommended PS5 Compatible SSDs & Heatsink to Buy – https://nascompares.com/2021/08/03/recommended-ps5-compatibile-ssds-heatsinks-updated |
The Best PS5 SSD Upgrades for SPEED on Black Friday
The internal SSD of the Playstation 5 is one of the fastest console media drives in the world. This allows the console to load games that in the previous generation might have taken upwards of a minute in a fraction of that time (with games like Spiderman 2 and Elden Rong loading in single seconds). For those that have been looking at upgrading their PS5 storage capacity this Black Friday, one big, BIG focus for some will be buying the FASTEST PS5 SSD that they can. Performance of an m.2 SSD is typically measured in Sequential Read and Write (i.e big data) and all three of my recommended high-performance PS5 compatible SSDs below are among the fastest in the world right now. Take a look this Black Friday:
|
ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70
|
Patriot Viper VP4300
|
Seagate Firecuda 530
|
|

The Best PS5 SSD Upgrade for PRICE on Black Friday
The current generation of PS5 compatible SSDs are arguable the most expensive types of media currently available in the market, hence why many have waited till black Friday to buy their PlayStation 5 storage upgrade. For many, the price of the price-point/cost of an SSD is going to be the deciding factor, in efforts to make sure they get as much bang for their buck as possible. Below is my top three recommended SSD to buy this Black Friday for the lowest price, all of which are compatible with PS5:
|
Addlink A90 SSD
|
Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0
|
Seagate Firecuda 520
|
|
|
|

The Best PS5 SSD Upgrades for VALUE on Black Friday
Slightly different to the cost of an SSD, the Value of an SSD is much more about getting the best price for the best hardware. Often measured in SSDs in terms of the price-per-terabyte, or the price-point of the hardware it uses (or even inclusive extras like heatsinks or services), buyers who are looking for the best value PS5 compatible SSDs will already have their budget in mind and will look at getting as much inside that budget as possible. Due to the large number of PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSDs released in 2021 (many of which were delayed down to the pandemic), there is a tremendous range of SSDs available and all competing in price. This is especially true during Black Friday and therefore the opportunity to get some series value in your PS5 SSD upgrade is possible. Below are the best three SSDs for PS5 upgrades that I recommend based on value:
|
WD BLACK SN850
|
Samsung 980 Pro
|
Gigabyte Aorus 7000S
|
|
|
|
|
The Best PS5 SSD Upgrade for CAPACITY on Black Friday
Given that the PlayStation supports the storage and playback of both PS4 and PS5 games (as well as allowing playback and storage of PS3 titles via PS Now), recording and storage of 4K capture up to an hour in length and downloading of media from popular streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, it is VERY easy to see why a lot of PS5 SSD buyers are heavily focused on big, BIG capacity SSD upgrades on their PS5 this Black Friday. Unlike a lot of the most recent PS5 releases, the rest of those other services will not see any benefit in the 7,000MB/s+ SSDs (such as the Seagate Firecuda 530, Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus or XPG Gammix S70). Therefore, there are several SSDs in the market that can provide as much as 4TB of storage at almost half the price of top tier SSDs out there, whist STILL being PS5 compatible. Below is the lowest Price per Terabyte SSDs that you can install in your PS5 this Black Friday:
|
Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB
|
Titanium Micro TH7175 4TB
|
Addlink A95 8TB
|
|
|

The Best PS5 SSD Upgrade for DURABILITY on Black Friday
Although SSD technology has been around for well over a decade, it has only been in the last few years (thanks to the arrival of superfast M.2 NVMe SSDs) that the subject of endurance and durability has risen in conversation quite loudly. Although PS5 SSDs will largely be focused on ‘read’ activity when loading games etc, there are still some activities (and potentially more in future) that will utilize ‘write’ activities (gaming recordings, professional streamers direct from the system, bulk multimedia activities, etc). Write activity on an SSD requires electricity to be passed through the drive to allow data inside to be entered onto the NAND (the bit that holds your data) on the SSD. the more and more this happens, the larger the potential for wear on the NAND. SSDs for PS5 that have high durability (typically measured as drive writes for day or terabytes written over 5 years) mean that they will last for much, much loner with heavier write activity, as well as maintain sustained high performance throughout that time (rather than drop over time). The following three PS5 compatible SSDs are all very high in durability, whilst still appearing at a great price point this black Friday. Let’s take a look:
|
Seagate Firecuda 530
|
Patriot Viper VP4300
|
Teamgroup Cardea Zero Z440
|
|
|
|

The Best PS5 SSD HEATSINK to Buy this Black Friday
You may not know (if you are new to PS5 m.2 SSDs) that due to their high performance, compact nature and energy/electricity focused use, that they can get very, VERY hot. This is much higher during write activity, but can still rise in read activity. When an SSD gets hot, it can affect several things. The performance of the drive can decrease (known as throttling, when internally as the SSD controller/brain fears potential harm), it can highly reduce the SSDs durability and lifespan AND it can negatively impact the running of your PS5 and it’s operation! Therefore it is pretty important that with any PS5 compatible SSD upgrade you buy, that you ALSO buy a heatsink. Some SSDs (such as the Gigabyte Aorus 7000s or Patriot Viper VP4300 PS5 SSDs) include a PS5 compatible heatsink with the drive. ut many, many do not and that means you will need to purchase one separately OR look at alternative SSDs for PS5 this Black Friday that include one. Below I have added my three highest recommended stand-alone PS5 SSD heatsinks you should consider this Black Friday. Each is quite affordable, 100% PS5 compatible and includes the thermal pads, screws and accessories you will need in order to install on ANY SSD for your console. Take a look:
|
PS5 Heatsink
|
Eluteng M.2 Heatsink
|
Warship Pro Heatsink

PS5 Compatible SSDs
Although Sony enabled the Playstation 5 SSD expansion slot in Summer 2021, they have yet to issue a FULL compatibility list of ALL drives that can be used. I have been testing a huge number of M.2 NVMe SSDs with PS5 in the last 3 months in order to create a master list of all the drives that work (here on the blog, as well as over on YouTube in my PS5 SSD Test Series HERE). Below is a breakdown of all the currently available and supported SSDs that are compatible with PS5 (with help on Reddit, Twitter and others).

Ok I saw your video … I know that Sony recommends to put the metal plate back in the PS5.. but …. YES, your SSD has an integrated heatsink. And this SSD is stuck in a “closed” box… How can you really think this SSD can exchange heat easily here??? it’s impossible. There is no connection between the heatsink of the SSD and this metal plate…
And what about if you take out this metal plate and use your SSD , “like this” inside your PS5 ??

8tb is too expensive, especially if you consider ssd endurance. Went with cheaper 4tb and have an 8tb external to transfer games to. Still came out $600 less than buying an 8tb.

It will Work and you can also have a 8TB External SSD ( giving you a Maximum of 16TB of storage).
Plus Somy said They “Might” up it to 12TB ( for both options) If enough People ask fot it. So be sure to Tweet, Email, and Write them on all Platforms to Make this happen, Folks.
Just to point out that the Series X support 16TB SSD/HDD external Drives.

I have a 4TB in mine, and I’ve only got about 1.25 tv left. I’m truly worrying about what happens when I run out which is inevitable and the prices for a 8tb are sticking over £1000!!

Just got a 2TB Samsung 980pro with heat sink for £130. Very happy with it and been very good so far. A lot more games on console and don’t have to delete a game to install a new one for 8hrs if it’s a big file like cod. It doesn’t seem to matter if I play it from ps5 itself or the Samsung heatsink.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I have news for you 8TB isn’t enough storage to cover all the PS5 games my 8TB for the Xbox one is already full what you really need is a 40 TB SSD or better a 100 TB it was first the memory cards we needed for the PS1 PS2 but at least they were cheaper not costing $100
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Just brought the 4tb. Went for the biggest ssd could get. Already half gone installing all games. 12 games. Call of duty games are about 200gb and the new spiderman game is about 150gb. The bigger the ssd inside the ps5 the better off you are.
When price of the 8tb decrease will buy.
Think in the old Ps5 and new slim Ps5 should at least have 2tb internal ssd installed by sony.

The reviews on Amazon aren’t pushing me to buy this thing. I see a lot of people saying the drive doesn’t work, doesnt run at the speed advertised, or only works half the time. I see yours working, so i hope i an update video on how it works months down the line.

So no point in buying a M2 7000+ speed for the ps5 just buy a lower speed that is cheaper

Is it best to move the saved game files to the new m2 iinternal ssd drive after it’s installed? Does the PS5 automatically save the saved files to the PS5 onboard internal ssd or to the new m2 ssd?

$700 American dollars for an Addlink A95 8TB SSD?!? That is too costly for me even if I am better off with a 2TB SSD for my PS4 Pro as an alternative. I am better off getting a PS5 at 50% off.

I bought an Samsung 8tb ssd 2.5 sata drive brand new from a local pc store closeout for $150 and wd m.2 nvme 4tb for ps5 for $80. I wonder if i can use the 8tb on the ps4 pro?

£800 for a game storage drive is nuts, I think we should go back to the games actually being on playable media but that wont happen.

I wanna know about the Oyen Digital 8tb SSD…. it has t he same read/right speed as Sabrents 8tb but costs $300 less…. thats worries me

So let’s say the 4tb ssd is full and you get a 8tb ssd you could transfer them over?

What about PNY 8tb on ps5?

Did you remove the sticker off the back?

I thought I’d never be able to afford a 4TB when they were priced around a thousand dollars. Now that I got a 4TB for around $200 I can wait to get 8TB until the price drops around current 4TB prices.

How can I get that cover you have looks dope!

Is there any specific reason When 4tb show full 4tb but 8tb show 7.65 similar to 825 gig 667 ideally 750+gb but Sony claims 165 gig for OS is too much . Even if they have failsafe No way OS will take so much space.

If the drive runs out of slc cache or is 70% full how does the 8TB function
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
There is no CD (Red Book Audio ) Drive in the PlayStation 5. @8:42 is a Blu-Ray Drive that happens to read DVD disc as well. The last PlayStation to support CD Audio was the PlayStation 3. Since the PlayStation 4 streaming music or nothing. No CD Audio drive in that PlayStation 5.

I’d wait for the Seagate Fire Cuda to release their own 8TB SSD. I already have their 4 TB and it works amazingly. It’s the fastest and that’s quality built SSD imo

Question – can PS5 do iSCSI?

Great video with all the info needed 10/10????

QLC is absolutely not a problem for the vast majority of anyone except people that constantly writes to their drives, and even in that case it would be lots of data over and over again. With a PS5 you only write when you download* and unless you have a 10GBe connection you will never get close to the limit on a QLC drive.
*When you move data from the internal drive to the M2 you also write, but that is a real rare case.

Forgive this dumb question. Just a dad looking to reduce infighting among teenage boys… but the multiple formatting of the SSD was just so you could get more accurate speed numbers for the video right?

!8TB NVMe SSDs!

I didn’t know we can see SSD’s temperature value when it is inside of the PS5 on the PC. CrystalDiskInfo reading that values from S.M.A.R.T I guess? So the SSD always records own temperature 24/7
