Despite PS5 SSD deals being really common nowadays, it’s a market worth paying attention to as you’ll often find options to get your first drive at a lowest ever price, and potentially upgrade to larger capacities for a really attractive price. And there are price cuts that would cater to both of those situations on my absolute favoriteSSD for PS5.
The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PS5 SSD is one of my absolute personal favorites in the field of PS5 SSDs - and it’s always my favorite PS5 SSD deal to highlight whenever we’re checking out price cuts, even more so ahead of theAmazon Prime Day gaming dealsthat aren’t even here yet.
This is the PS5 SSD I have (the 2TB model) and is always the one that I recommend to friends and colleagues - and readers. Not only is it reasonably priced (by default it comes in cheaper than the likes of those high-profile names such as WD andSamsung), but it’s also got great speeds, is reliable, is a proven entity on PC, and also - crucially - comes with a bespoke heatsink solution. This heatsink solution replaces the entire PS5 SSD door and ensures that heat isn’t just drawn from the drive itself, but then taken out further into the wider PS5 shell. Excellent.
Now, for full disclosure,Amazonseems to have these on new or different ASIN codes or links, so price tracking is a bit harder than normal. However, I can tell you that I reported on this combo at about this time last year for sister site GamesRadar+ and its record low then was still north of $130. Right now, though, you can get it for just$89.99 at Amazon- that’s the 1TB drive plus the heatsink. The 2TB model is also discounted by a similar chunk and might representslightlybetter value given the literal doubling of space you’ll get
These might go down further as part of thePrime Day PS5 SSD dealsbut we can’t say for sure, naturally, but there’s no denying the value right now. An excellent deal.
Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PS5 SSD + Heatsink |$139.99 at Amazon(was $159.99)Save $20- Again, only a small saving from the retail price, but these things used to cost way more, and getting 2TB plus the corresponding heatsink for $140 represents excellent value for money.
Capacity:2TB
UK Price:£129.99 at Amazon(was £179.99)
Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus PS5 SSD + Heatsink |$89.99 at Amazon(was $109.99)Save $20- This might only appear as a modest saving, but in reality, the value on offer here is excellent. First, the heatsink on its own retails for $19.99 so you’re getting that in the package which would take the SSD itself down to just $69.99. This is great value, and one of the best PS5 SSD combos available right now.
Capacity:1TB
UK price:£84.99 at Amazon(was £102.99)
Sabrent PS5 SSD Heatsink |$16.99 at Amazon(was $19.99)Save $3- Yup, only three dollars off, but that is 15% and a decent chunk for the heatsink on its own if that’s what you’re after - or want a bespoke heatsink to match another PS5 SSD of your choosing.
UK price:£16.99 at Amazon(was £19.99)
