For its October Prime Day sale, Amazon is offering the Crucial P5 Plus 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 solid state drive (SSD) for $97.99. This is a $10 price drop from day 1 of Prime Day and a 25% discount from the normal $130 price that we usually see it at. Not only does it fulfill the minimum speed requirement of the PS5 console, it also has a preinstalled heatsink that's slim enough to fit.
Crucial P5 Plus 2TB SSD with Heatsink for $97.99
The Crucial P5 Plus meets all the requirements for your PS5 SSD upgrade. It supports transfer speeds of up to 6,660MB/s which is well above the 5,500MB/s minimum threshold. Yes there are faster SSDs out there, but if your intention is to put this in your PS5, then that extra speed is worthless because you're bottlenecked by the original PS5 SSD. The integrated heatsink is robust and entirely made of aluminum for effective heat dissipation. It's also slim enough to fit in the PS5 bay with the cover on. If you're worried about opening up your PS5 case, don't worry it's very easy. Crucial has an official YouTube PS5 SSD install guide.
There are other SSDs on sale for Prime Day
If you're interested in other SSDs, whether it be for the PS5 console or for your gaming PC, there are other drives as well with different size capacities and speeds.
