SanDisk’s 8TB PS5 SSD costs the price of three PS5 Pros
TL;DR Summary
SanDisk has unveiled the Optimus GX PRO 850P NVMe PS5 SSD in 1TB–8TB sizes, with the flagship 8TB model priced at $2,959.99 (discounted from $3,699.99). That’s more than the combined cost of three PS5 Pros, underscoring the ongoing global memory shortage and skyrocketing SSD prices. The 4TB and 2TB options run $1,499.99 and $759.99, respectively. The drive features a PS5/PS5 Pro-optimized heatsink and is pitched as a premium upgrade, with WD’s similar-spec SSD currently cheaper, highlighting how supply constraints are inflating costs even as some retailers note AI-driven pricing effects in gaming.
