Western Digital Offloads Its 1TB and 2TB WD_Black SSDs, Now Selling for Peanuts with Speeds up to 7,300 MB/s - Kotaku
"Right now, you can save 22% on the 1TB model (bringing the price from $115 to just $90) or you can save 17% on the 2TB model (bringing the price from $190 to just $158) for a limited time. You'll end up saving between $25 and $32. If you want an even bigger buttload of storage available at your fingertips, Western Digital does make models containing 4TB and 8TB."
"It comes with just 1TB of internal storage, though technically, much of that space is already dedicated to the system software that let's the PS5 be a PS5. Really, you're only working with just over 800GB of workable space to save your games to. Well, you can expand your storage by hooking up a WD_Black SSD inside your console. It's easy to install as there are countless YouTube videos to follow along to."
Video game file sizes have increased substantially over the last decade, with some AAA titles exceeding 200GB and making multi-game libraries impractical on limited storage. WD_Black SN850X NVMe SSDs are available in capacities from 1TB to 8TB to address these needs. Current Amazon pricing reduces the 1TB model to $90 and the 2TB to $158, while 4TB and 8TB models are priced at $280 and $640 respectively. PlayStation 5 systems ship with roughly 800GB of usable space and can be expanded with internal SSDs; Sony recommends using a heatsink-equipped drive for thermal management.
