Western Digital's SN850 SSDs are over half price off

A new SSD can make a massive difference to your PC or PS5, helping you store more games without having to delete ones you've already installed. A faster SSD will also reduce load times for games, apps, and your operating system.

If you're in need of more internal storage, you should consider the WD Black SN850 NVMe Gaming SSD from storage experts Western Digital, which has speeds of up to 7000 mb/s. Right now both the 1TB and 2TB models have a huge 52 per cent discount at Amazon, saving you up to £261.

The SN850 is a brilliant SSD because its size and speed give it more than enough to store and load all of the new AAA games without any issue. The SSD also has a bit of character thanks to the subtle RGB strip on the top which can be configured in a range of colours to match your other components.

You can also read the article we have on Sony's support notes and how to add an SSD into your PS5.

There's lots of benefits for both PS5 and PC users choosing the SN850. Because it's an M.2 SSD it will just slot right into your PC or console's motherboard so there's no annoying cables to deal with, plus it doesn't need a lot of space to fit into the case. You won't have to replace it for a very long time either, so it can just stay in there, do its thing and you won't need to worry about it.
