The WD Green SN3000 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVME Solid State Drive (SSD) Drops to $129 at Newegg
PS5 compatible with caveats.
Newegg is offering an exceptionally low price on the WD Green SN3000 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe Solid State Drive, with a cost of $129.48 including free shipping. This same drive is priced at $160 on Amazon. The WD Green SN3000 is a budget M.2 SSD that is fast for its price range, featuring SanDisk's QLC 3D NAND memory. It offers read speeds of up to 5,000MB/s and write speeds of 4,200MB/s.
This makes it an excellent choice for a gaming PC's boot drive, as well as fully compatible with the PlayStation 5 console. While it falls slightly short of Sony's recommended minimum speed of 5,500MB/s, the difference is unlikely to be noticeable for most users. Installing an SSD in a PlayStation 5 console is straightforward and does not void the warranty.
With games often taking up to 100GB each, this drive can quickly fill the console's 1TB storage (which is actually only 667MB usable). Gamers may find themselves exceeding even with 2TB. Although a heatsink is not included with the WD Green SN3000, they are available on Amazon for around $6 and easy to install using adhesive.
