Get this 1TB PS5 compatible Crucial NVMe SSD for only £108 on Cyber Monday 2021

Plenty of capacity and raw speed to run the heaviest modern games.

The Amazon Cyber Monday sale will soon be coming to an end, and if you're still on a hunt to pick up some last minute PC-related bargains, you'll be pleased to know there's still a huge number of deals available, including deep discounts on storage and peripherals.

We had some fantastic discounts over the Black Friday weekend on super-fast SSD storage for both PC and PS5 owners. But if you missed out on those, don't fret! There are still plenty of affordable Cyber Monday deals available this evening.

One of those deals is this Crucial P5 Plus 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD, with read speeds of up to 6600MB/s, for only £107.98.

The Crucial P5 is an excellent drive, with plenty of capacity and raw speed to run the heaviest modern games. It's built on Micron's 3D NAND and controller technology and rated for more than two million hours of use so you can be sure that it will reliably last for a long time And if for whatever reason it doesn't, Crucial has a 5-year limited warranty or up to the max endurance rating of 600 TBW.

The drive is also compatible with the PS5, although it is recommended that you also purchase a heatsink (like this one) to keep your drive cool inside the enclosure. Digital Foundry has a detailed explainer about PS5 SSD requirements and answers to a lot of FAQs. You can also check out my article from earlier this year on Sony's support notes and how to add an SSD into your PS5.
