"Anyone who owns a launch PS5 is probably familiar this one drawback... the built-in storage fills up fast. Although Sony advertises an 825GB internal drive, a good chunk of that space is reserved for system software, leaving you with about 667GB for your actual games. Considering that many modern titles push well past the 100GB mark, it doesn't take long before you're staring at that "storage full" message yet again. Adding a Seagate Game Drive more than triples your usable space, which means far fewer hard choices about which games to delete when something new drops."
"Performance-wise, these SSDs keep up with the specs needed to support use with a PlayStation 5 (it is officially licensed Afterall). With read speeds reaching up to 7,300 MB/s and write speeds reaching up to 6,000 MB/s, they're more than capable of handling the PS5's fast load times. Games launch quickly, transitions feel smoother, and you can keep your entire library at your fingertips instead of constantly juggling downloads."
"Right now, the 2TB Game Drive PS5 NVMe SSD-complete with a built-in heatsink for PlayStation 5 compatibility-is going for 21% off. Instead of its usual $215 price tag, it's temporarily down to $170, which is a solid $45 cut for a drive that's tailor-made for Sony's latest console. The custom heatsink is there to help minimize thermal throttling so your PS5 can maintain peak performance over long play sessions. It's also marked with the official PlayStation logo, though you'll never see that again after installing. Seagate is also sweetening the deal with a little bonus. Every purchase includes a 14-day trial of PlayStation Plus"
Seagate's 2TB Game Drive PS5 NVMe SSD is discounted 21% to $170 from $215, offering a 2TB expansion with a built-in heatsink for PlayStation 5 compatibility. The PS5's advertised 825GB internal drive yields about 667GB usable, making add-on storage valuable as modern games often exceed 100GB. The SSD delivers read speeds up to 7,300 MB/s and write speeds up to 6,000 MB/s to maintain fast load times and smooth transitions. The custom heatsink reduces thermal throttling during long sessions. Each purchase includes a 14-day trial of PlayStation Plus.
