It’s no secret that video games are hogging up more space than ever on your consoles and PC, but at least Prime Day has some great discounts on SSDs for these platforms. Installing one is very easy thanks to their plug-and-play nature, and once you’ve inserted a fresh SSD into your system, you’ll (probably) have enough space for the new Call of Duty or GTA 6.

For this deal, PS5 owners will want to check out the Samsung range, like the always-reliable Samsung 980 and 990 Pro SSDs. The 1TB 980 Pro has been discounted by almost 50%, and this SSD offers up to 3500MB/s read speeds and up to 3400MB/s (500GB) write speeds. This SSD doesn’t come with a heatsink, but these are very affordable and you can get one for $12.
Alternatively, there is the 1TB Samsung 990 Pro with a heatsink included for $110 (normally $175). These offer up to 40% improved read speeds and up to 55% improved write speeds while using less power. If you need more storage capacity, you can pick up a 2TB version ($150, normally $265) or even a 4TB SSD ($300, normally $400) to future-proof your PS5 or PC for future game releases.
