My favorite PS5 SSD and heatsink combo is currently a bargain ahead of Prime Day

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 favorite SSD 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 the Amazon Prime Day gaming deals that 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 and Samsung), 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, Amazon seems 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 represent slightly better value given the literal doubling of space you'll get

These might go down further as part of the Prime Day PS5 SSD deals but we can't say for sure, naturally, but there's no denying the value right now. An excellent deal.

And if you're after another SSD to team with that heatsink above, then our price-finding moles have dug up the below prices on some great models - these prices are always the latest and the lowest and regularly updated.
