The next few months are stacked with PS5 releases--including Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. And if you’re already stressing out about storage space, consider picking up this WD Black 1TB Internal SSD for just $65 (down from $180). The SN850X is one of the most popular NVMe SSDs for PS5.

Best of all, it comes equipped with a heatsink. That means you can just pop it into your PS5 and get it running with no additional work.

As you’d expect, the WD Black 1TB Internal SSD offers speeds that are in line with PS5’s built-in storage. You can also use it for your PC and get speeds up to 7,300 MB/s, making it one of the best values on the market right now.

Need help installing your SSD in your PS5? The process is pretty simple--though it’s not quite as easy as plugging it into a port on the face of the console. Instead, you’ll need to pop off the faceplate, remove a few screws, then properly seat your SSD into one of the five available grooves. If you need a bit of guidance, be sure to check out our full PS5 SSD installation guide.

Amazon doesn’t list an end date for this deal, so you might want to move fast if you’re hoping to cash in on the savings.
