I don’t know if you’ve seen the price of a PlayStation 5 SSD lately, but they’re absolutely cooked. Right now prices are easily triple what they were just a few years ago thanks to the pressure caused by AI demand, so I’d recommend other options instead.
Luckily Amazon Prime Day Is bringing some serious value, with the 5TB Seagate Game Drive PS5 external hard drive discounted to just £143.48 (was £207.99) right now.

This is an external HDD, which means it functions a little differently to a regular SSD, but it’s still designed for storing games. It’s also officially licensed for PS5, and has a design that matches the console itself to keep your setup looking super slick.
Today’s best PS5 storage deal
This officially licenced external PS5 HDD from Seagate is the way to go if you want to upgrade your console storage right now. A quality 4TB PS5 SSD currently costs about £470, making this drive roughly a third of the price for more storage.View Deal
So what makes a PS5 external hard drive different to a PS5 SSD? The main differentiator is that you can’t play the PS5 games stored on an external hard drive directly. Instead, they need to be copied back to your internal storage for each use.
It’s perfect if you have slow internet speeds and want to avoid lengthy downloads when coming back to large games, which is mainly how I use the Seagate Game Drive hooked up to my own console.
Backwards-compatible PS4 games are playable with no barriers, though, making this a very good choice for those with large libraries of older games they want to keep installed.
