Amazon Prime Day 2024 (which confusingly actually runs for two days from July 16 until end of play on July 17) is in full swing, complete with thousands of discounts on everything from TVs and monitors, to toys, DIY products and fashion. There are also countless of deals available on video games and accessories, including one discount that’s perfect for PlayStation 5 users that are tired of running out of storage space. A device I’ve been using since the launch of the PS5, the Seagate Game Drive for PS5 adds a whopping 5TB of external storage to your console. While it won’t run PS5 games directly from the drive, you can transfer PlayStation 5 games from the drive to the console in less time than it takes to download from scratch. Even better, however, is the ability to play your PS4 games directly from the hard drive, which is primarily what I use it for. This means you don’t have to waste space by storing older games on your PS5’s internal SSD.
As you can see from the link above, the massive 5TB Seagate hard drive is reduced to just £109.99 as part of Amazon Prime Day.
If you’re a Prime customer, then you can take advantage of the big discount, complete with next-day delivery.
Hundreds of the PS5 hard drives have been sold in the last month alone, so don’t delay if you want to pick one up at the reduced price.
The officially licensed PS5 hard drive plugs into one of the USB ports found on the PlayStation 5 console.
It features the same white colour scheme as the PS5 console, as well as a stylish blue LED light when active.
It’s small and lightweight enough to carry with you when visiting friends, or if you plan to take your console on holiday.
You can also use it with your PS4 console, and without having to transfer games to the last-gen machine’s internal drive.
The high-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) connection ensures speedy transfer speeds, while the plug in and play installation is simple enough for anybody to take advantage.
One of my biggest criticisms of the PS5 is the paltry 1TB of internal storage, which simply isn’t enough to store many of your favourite games.
With annual Call of Duty releases using up over 100GB of storage before updates, the Seagate drive means you’ll spend less time deleting your favourite games to make room for new ones.
If 5TB is more storage than you’re likely to use, then you can also pick up a 2TB version at the discounted price of £68.99. Just select the 2TB version from Amazon when visiting the link above.
