Alongside Amazon’s Labor Day sale, you’ll find Woot offering WD_BLACK’s 1TB SN850P SSD with heatsink for $179.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). Be sure to enter promo code APPLETEN during checkout to see the discounted price. This drive originally sold for around $150, but pricing has climbed sharply this year, with the 1TB model fetching as much as $355 in recent months. Amazon currently has it listed closer to $300, so Woot is undercutting that price by about $120 right now. This is the lowest price we’ve tracked for this drive since the recent storage price hikes, and the timing is pretty good too, especially if you’re looking to free up some room or add more storage to your PS5 ahead of GTA 6. Head below for more details.
WD_BLACK’s 1TB SN850P would make for a timely PS5 upgrade if you want to clear some room ahead of bigger upcoming releases like GTA 6. It’s officially licensed for PlayStation and comes with a heatsink already installed, so you can drop it straight into the console’s M.2 slot without buying anything extra. This particular drive can hit read speeds of up to 7,300MB/s, which is fast enough to run supported PS5 games directly from the SSD rather than constantly moving them back to the console’s internal storage. The extra 1TB also gives you a lot more room to keep larger games installed at once, which is only becoming more useful as install sizes continue to grow. You can use it in a compatible PC as well, but the main appeal here is really how straightforward it is as a plug-and-play PS5 storage upgrade.
If you’re looking for more storage deals, Verbatim’s 1TB Pocket SSD is also down to $140 right now, dropping from its usual $300 price. It’s one of the smallest portable SSDs you can get your hands on, making it a solid option if you want fast external storage without carrying around a bulky drive.
