With the Black Friday gaming deals picking up pace as we get another week closer to the end-of-month sales bonanza, we're seeing more and more opportunities to, well, avoid said bonanza.
The Black Friday PS5 SSD deals we've picked out below offer great options no matter the capacity or type of storage you need to boost. From cheap 1TB options to 4TB behemoths, and robust portable drives, there's plenty to get your attention already - and to seriously consider going for now.Â
My personal favorite is the first pick which sees you get 1TB of excellent Crucial P5 Plus PS5 SSD for just $58.99 at Amazon (was $79.99) - it's just such good value, and at that price, we'd be hard-pushed to tell you to sit tight just to hopefully save a couple more dollars (at best).Â
I've also picked out a couple of larger drives, and if you want to really go big and forget about Black Friday already this November, then may I introduce you to the Lexar NM790 4TB SSD which gets you a colossal amount of capacity for a lowest-ever price of just $206.99 at Amazon (was $229.99). At about $50 a terabyte, this is an easy recommendation.
But remember, PS5 SSDs also come in external drive form: you can get the splendid Silicon Power 1TB SSD for a great price of just $50.97 at Amazon (was $67.99) right now - only $2.50 from its lowest ever.
As early Black Friday PS5 deals go, these would be incredibly satisfying to jump on, and sort your storage out on the cheap for the capacities that they offer. You can see more information on these deals below.

Addgame A95 2TB: was $129.99 now $112.44 at Newegg
Save $10 - Not a huge discount, but if you've got a budget of around $100, can be a little flexible, and want as much storage for your PS5t for that amount, then this is about as good as it gets right now. In all honesty, we would expect this to drop below three figures later in the month but you can still be content enough at this price.
