Black Friday sale pricing has started early on just about everything and Best Buy currently has 1TB and 2TB P5 Plus SSD drives from Crucial on sale. Right now you can pick up the 1TB P5 Plus SSD for $33 off. Which brings the price down to $45.99 from its regular price of $78.99.
Crucial P5 Plus SSD - Best Buy
It’s not quite a half off discount but it’s very close. And for anyone in need of more storage or new storage for their desktop or laptop, this is a pretty good deal that is definitely worth considering. If you need more than 1TB of space, then not to worry.
Crucial has marked its 2TB P5 Plus SSD down as well. And this is really an even better deal. To get 2TB of space with the 1TB drive you would obviously have to buy two of the drives. But that kicks the cost up to $92. So you save a couple bucks with the 2TB drive and you only have to take up one slot. Assuming you have a PC that has multiple slots this is the way to go.
Even better though is that this is an SSD which is compatible with the PS5. It meets Sony’s requirements for generation and speed. For those unaware the SSD for expandable storage on the PS5 needs to be Gen4. This drive is Gen4 and it also has read speeds of 6,600 MB/s and write speeds of 5,000 MB/s. Both of which meet Sony’s requirements for read and write speeds. It doesn’t come with a heatsink which Sony does recommend. But you can easily buy one and apply it to this drive. And you can find plenty of them for less than $20. But back to the drive, this is an excellent drive for an excellent price. Snap it up before it’s gone.
