343iBot Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 If you're looking for more storage space for your PC or gaming console, Black Friday tends to bring an avalanche of deals on pricey SSDs and external hard drives. PS5 owners can now expand the console's storage space by installing an NVMe SSD. Meanwhile, Xbox Series X|S owners can pick up the Seagate Storage Expansion Card--it's not on sale just yet, but we expect to see discounts closer to Black Friday. Of course, you can also use external hard drives for the PS4 and Xbox One and to store PS5 and Series X games (they have to be transferred back first to be played). We've rounded up the best Black Friday SSD deals available now. We'll continue to add to this list as more deals go live.
