A PlayStation 5 Compatible SSD With Heatsink Dropped to Possibly the Lowest Price We'll See for Black Friday

If you're an avid PS5 gamer, sooner or later you're going to need more storage. Grand Theft Auto 6, which comes out this month, will take up over 200GB of space alone. That's nearly 25% of your stock 1TB storage space, since a 1TB PS5 drive really equates to less than 850GB of usable storage.

Unfortunately, PlayStation storage deals are practically non-existent in 2026... but that changes today. Ahead of Black Friday, Walmart just dropped the price of the Verbatim Vi7000 1TB PlayStation 5 compatible solid state drive (SSD) to just $129 with free shipping. This is the lowest price I've seen for a high-speed 1TB SSD in months. If you want even more storage, the 2TB model is also on sale for $199. Both models even include a built-in heatsink. Never say never, but I think we'll be hard pressed to find a better price than this during Black Friday proper.

The Verbatim Vi7000 is Playstation 5 compatible. That means it fulfills all of Sony's requirements. It boasts sequential speeds of 7000MB/s read and 6500MB/s write, which easily surpasses the minimum recommended speed of 5,500MB/s. The SSD uses the PCI-Express Gen4x4 interface which slots neatly into the PS5's drive bay. It also has a preinstalled heatsink that will do a fine job of keeping your SSD cool.

The Vi7000 is also a great option as a boot drive for your gaming PC. Surprisingly, this RAM boasts actual DRAM cache. Pretty much every other "budget" SSD at this price point is DRAM-less and relies on HMB, or system memory, as a less expensive alternative.
