Any PlayStation 5 players out there?
Also take a look, versions with radiators are also on sale. What is a radiator? It’s a piece of metal that dissipates heat from your device, stabilizing its temperature and helping eliminate performance issues. Importantly, this means you can use it with a PlayStation 5.
PlayStation 5 comes with an 825GB optical disc drive. However, a large portion of this is used for core system files, leaving approximately 667.2GB of storage space available for players to play their games. I just downloaded Mortal Kombat 1 Last night, after installing the 4K textures, it took up 179.1GB of space. A large DLC expansion will be released in a few weeks. It’s already in my pantry and I should actually buy a copy.
One of the best accessories you can buy for your PS5 is an expansion solid-state drive, but you have to get one with a heatsink or you’ll run into all kinds of trouble.
Fortunately, a radiator version is also available. Currently, the 1TB Samsung 990 Pro is selling for $130 (26% off), the 2TB version is $187 (29% off), and the 4TB version is $340 (29% off). Say goodbye to file management and no more deleting games to make room for new content.
Then again, if you just want to install it in a PC without a cooler, the standard Samsung 990 Pro 1TB model starts at $100 (38% off). You can buy the 2TB model at a 32% discount, or the 4TB model at a 31% discount. Happy computing!
