PS5 Storage Doubles Under $50

by Simon Nov 30,2025

AliExpress currently has an exceptional deal on a 1TB PS5-compatible SSD priced under $50 – a rarity we haven’t spotted in months. For just $48.23 (after applying the AEUS10 coupon at checkout), you can grab the Orico i7500 1TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD. This drive exceeds Sony’s recommended 5,600MB/s speed threshold and fits perfectly into the PS5’s expansion slot. While a heatsink isn’t strictly necessary for 1TB models, affordable PS5-compatible heatsinks are readily available for under $10.

Though Orico isn’t as established as Samsung or Western Digital, this specific model has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews. Purchasing directly from Orico’s official AliExpress store ensures authenticity and avoids third-party resellers. Ships free from U.S. warehouses with 1-2 week delivery. Note: Amazon lists a comparable 1TB SSD for $63.

Orico 1TB M.2 SSD (PS5-Compatible) – Only $48.23

Orico i7500 2TB PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD (Up to 7,400MB/s)

Original: $69.99 | 31% Off: $48.23 at AliExpress (Use code AEUS10)

Ideal for PS5 upgrades, the Orico i7400 features PCIe Gen4 x4 connectivity, M.2 2280 form factor, and blistering speeds of 7,400MB/s read/6,100MB/s write. As a DRAM-less drive, it employs HMB technology and pSLC caching – performance differences are negligible for gaming.

The PS5’s default 1TB storage struggles with modern game sizes: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (200GB+), Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (145GB), Baldur’s Gate 3 (105GB). Unlike Xbox Series X’s proprietary expansion, PS5 accepts any third-party PCIe Gen4 x4 SSD meeting speed requirements (slower drives may bottleneck performance).
