The best external hard drive deals
If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on a PS5, it’s likely that you’re already running out of space due to the console’s rather measly 1TB storage space. Rather than go through the effort of deleting and redownloading games every time you cap out your storage space, it makes sense to invest in a portable external hard drive to store any games you don’t want to redownload on there. Moving games across from your SSD back onto the console when you wanna play them is way quicker than redownloading them every time. It’s worth noting that all of the external hard drives we’ve included below are also compatible with PCs and the Xbox Series X, with an added bonus being that they include a one-month Game Pass subscription. With all of that said, let’s take a look at what’s on offer:

If you want to save even more time, you could just opt for an external SSD to run your games off instead, but it’s worth noting they only support backwards compatible PS4 and Xbox One titles, rather than the latest releases for Series X and PS5. The benefits of fast loading times and running games directly from your SSD does mean you can expect to pay a little more than the external hard drives, but time is money, right?

The 2TB WD_Black SSD game drive is currently out of stock, but a decent alternative is the SanDisk Extreme Pro 2TB NVMe SSD for £291.99. It’s got the same read speed of up to 2000 MB/s, connects with a type C USB and is compatible with PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. There’s a 1TB version available too if you want something a little cheaper.

If you need something a little faster than the BX500, the Crucial P5 CT2000P5SSD8 internal SSDs are also included in the sale. They support a read time of up to 3400 MB/s in comparison to the 2000 MB/s that’s available from the BX500, which deliver impressively fast load times as a result.
