Western Digital has launched a new 8TB SSD, the WD_BLACK SN850P, for PlayStation 5 owners, priced at $999, which allows users to store up to 200 games. This SSD, designed specifically for the PS5, features an optimized heatsink and is officially licensed by Sony, ensuring compatibility and performance tailored to the console's requirements. While the price is steep—more than twice that of the PS5 itself—the added storage addresses the increasing demands of modern games, many of which can exceed 100GB in size. The SSD's launch follows a recent Sony update that doubled the maximum storage capacity for PS5 expansions from 4TB to 8TB. Each SSD purchase includes a one-month trial of PlayStation Plus Premium, adding a slight incentive for gamers considering the investment. Despite its high cost, the new SSD represents a significant storage solution for avid gamers looking to consolidate their game libraries without frequent installations.
