Upgrade your PS5 with a 2TB SSD for just $100 with the early Black Friday deal
Are you getting a new PS5 for the holidays? Don’t miss out on storage because Newegg is offering this awesome 2TB SSD from Nextorage Japan for just $100.
The PS5 and PS5 Slim ship with 1TB of storage. Once downloaded and saving space for the operating system, about 825GB remains. For example, after downloading the latest Call of Duty, you’ll be left with about 600GB.
Games are getting bigger, and 1TB is enough for those who don’t play the latest major releases. However, if you stock up during the Black Friday sales, 1TB suddenly becomes quite small.

2TB of storage in NVMe format with PCIe 4.0 – required for the PlayStation 5 – is still relatively expensive for the usual brands. Grabbing not only a heatsink and the 2TB drive for $99.99 is a real bargain.

One of our top picks that this drive is perfect for is Alan Wake 2. The game can send you back and forth between the “real world” and a “mind palace” in an instant. This is a cool effect and uses the speed of the SSD to load a brand new “level” at the push of a button.
We also hear that the new web-slinging Spider-Man 2 is pretty good too.
