You can plug it into laptops and desktops if you&#8217;re more of a PC gamer, but you&#8217;ll need to provide a heatsink if you want to hook this drive up to the PS5. You can buy one separately, or grab the 980 Pro with one bundled for $300. We also like the 980 Pro&#8217;s fast performance, supporting speeds up to 7,000 MB\/s, and its nickel coating which should help control temperature levels.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of other drives that made it into our PS5 storage guide are discounted as well. The Patriot Viper VP4300 in 2TB is on sale for $330 \u2014 just clip the on-page coupon for $50 off to get the lower final price. This is actually our favorite drive for the PS5 thanks to its sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB\/s and two included heatsink options (aluminum and graphene). Also on sale is the Seagate FireCuda 530 in 1TB, which you can get for $190. This drive supports speeds up to 7,300 MB\/s and also comes with a heatsink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Buy Patriot Viper VP4300 (2TB) at Amazon &#8211; $330<br \/>\nBuy Seagate FireCuda 530 (1TB) at Amazon &#8211; $190<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>@EngadgetDeals<\/em><em> on Twitter for the latest tech deals and buying advice.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re lucky enough to have gotten your hands on a PS5, you may be looking for a drive with which to expand your console&#8217;s storage.
