MSI has the only 2TB PS5 SSD for under $100

SSD prices are set to rise in 2024, but there are still some excellent deals to be found if you keep your wits about you. Today, MSI is offering its PS5-compatible MSI Spatium M482 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD) for just $99.99 with free shipping. That’s currently the best price on a 2TB SSD that meets all the mandatory and recommended requirements for the PS5 console.

The PS5 is an excellent gaming console, but its 1TB SSD is a real bottleneck. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, for example, can be over 200GB by itself. NBA 2K23 weighs in at 150GB, and even older games like God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West require 90GB of space. Future games like Grand Theft Auto VI will undoubtedly require even more space. The advantage of a PS5 console over the Xbox Series X is that the SSD slot isn’t proprietary; you can install most third-party PCIe Gen4 x4 SSDs as long as they’re fast enough. Slower drives will still work, but they can bottleneck the native SSD, so they’re not recommended if you want a seamless experience.

The MSI Spatium M482 checks all the boxes for your PS5 upgrade. This is a PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD with an M.2 2280 form factor and transfer speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s read and 6,400 MB/s write, well above the 5,500 MB/s minimum threshold. It’s also an excellent boot drive for your gaming PC, especially with its 2TB of storage capacity. We’ve rarely seen a PS5-compatible 2TB SSD for under $100 in 2024, so you should jump on this deal. We may see deals of this caliber come Black Friday, but that’s still a few months away and there’s no guarantee SSD prices won’t rise again.
