Western Digital has added a brand new SSD to its officially licensed lineup, this time offering PS5 owners the chance to upgrade their system with a whopping 8TB of extra storage – the most that PS5 consoles allow.

The SSD launches at £718.99 / $999, exclusively at Western Digital’s store; it’ll also appear at other retailers later this month. To soften the blow just a touch, each SSD comes with a one-month trial of PS Plus Premium / Deluxe:
