A PlayStation 5 Compatible SSD With Heatsink Just Dropped to Possibly the Lowest Price We'll See for Black Friday
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Grand Theft Auto 6 will require over 200GB of storage on PS5, consuming nearly 25% of the console's usable 1TB storage space, which is actually less than 850GB.
- Walmart has reduced the price of the Verbatim Vi7000 1TB PS5-compatible SSD to $129 with free shipping, marking the lowest price for a high-speed 1TB SSD in months; the 2TB model is also on sale for $199.
- The Verbatim Vi7000 SSD meets Sony's PS5 requirements, offering sequential read speeds of 7000MB/s and write speeds of 6500MB/s, exceeding the recommended minimum of 5500MB/s, and includes a built-in heatsink.
- This SSD uses the PCI-Express Gen4x4 interface and features a DRAM cache, which enhances performance especially for PC users, although it has less impact on PS5 performance.
- Eric Song, IGN's commerce manager, highlights this deal as one of the best available ahead of Black Friday, suggesting it may be difficult to find better prices during the official sales period.
