Amazon is offering one of the best prices I’ve seen all year for a high-speed 4TB SSD. Right now you can pick up a Crucial P310 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe Solid State Drive with pre-installed heatsink for just $201.99 with free delivery. This handily beats out the previous low ($235) that I posted during Amazon Prime Day. The P310 is Crucial’s most recent PCI-e Gen 4 SSD that fulfills all of the PS5 storage requirements – including fast transfer speeds – and comes with a pre-attached heatsink so that is drop-in ready for super easy installation.

The P310 is a very fast DRAM-less QLC-based SSD. This is a PCI-E 4×4 drive with transfer speeds of up to 7,100MB/s read and 6,000MB/s write, which passes Sony’s recommended minimum requirement of 5,5000MB/s. To save costs, the Crucial P310 doesn’t have onboard DRAM and instead uses HMB, or onboard system memory for buffering. For most people (including PS5 gamers), the performance difference is imperceptible.
Performance and feature-wise, the Crucial P310 is similar to other popular SSDs like the Samsung Evo Plus and the WD Black SN7100, however Crucial’s 4TB model is the least expensive of the three options, especially with the heatsink pre-attached. With games taking up as much as 100GB of space apiece, it’s very easy to max out the PS5’s stock 1TB storage, and it’s not unheard of to max out an additional 2TB of space. Add 4TB and never look back.
The Crucial P310 4TB model also has a very high 800TBW endurance rating, which means its performance won’t degrade until well after you’ve gotten rid of the PS5 for the next generation console. Note that the 2TB model has a 440TBW rating, which is still excellent and the industry standard for quality SSDs; endurance ratings are directly correlated with capacity which is why the rating is lower on the 2TB model.
The best PS5 SSDs you can buy in 2025
Over the past few console generations with built-in storage, gamers were typically stuck with however much storage that came with the console. With the PS5, Sony made a surprising move by including an internal M.2 PCIe slot to install an off-the-shelf SSD to supplement the internal storage. Given that this is the same company that paired the PS Vita and PSP with ludicrously expensive memory cards, this was a welcoming change of pace, especially given the paltry 825GB of storage you have to work with. Now, you can install high-end PC SSDs like the Corsair MP600 Pro LPX, our number one pick, to load even more games nearly as fast as the extra-special drive that’s built into the console itself.
