- ABOUT THIS VIDEO -
Finding the best SSD for a PS5 may appear to be a daunting task due to the numerous options available, but the reality is that there are numerous drives that will provide a simple and hassle-free capacity upgrade for your game library. We ran a slew of the fastest drives through a battery of tests to determine the best SSDs for the PS5 in terms of both performance and price.
The internal SSD on the PS5 is a limited 825GB, with formatting, updates, and bloatware typically leaving about 670GB free for games. That's bad news because today's games are getting bigger with each new release, and you'll also need to save all of the screenshots and video clips you collect while playing. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War alone consumes over 200GB! The good news is that Sony has an M.2 expansion slot where you can install a second, PS5 SSD with a capacity of up to 4TB.

980 Pro Heatsink 2tb was 159 on flash sell from the egg. Ps5 registered it as 6500 read speeds, which is a bit slower than advertised but still above requirements. Honestly I just needed a larger storage for all the ps5 games you get from PS+. Left the main two or three I play on system storage and offloaded the rest and new ones to PCIE storage. PS4 to external. Should last a while but the game sizes are getting a bit ridiculous.

@henrydauseb2844 A heat sink dissipates heat away from a component, preventing it from overheating. Overheating doesn't only cause crashing, but also causes damage to the component needing the heat sink. Heat sinks are always found on CPUs... unless you use liquid cooling. But that's aftermarket.

I managed to nab the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB for $99 during Amazon's Prime Days. I was so glad I waited 'cause it was about $140 before that. It's been a breath of fresh air to have so much storage and not worry about it. As the video pointed out, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is 238GB, which is about a third (or more) of the usable space on the built-in SSD. I now have that game along with Death Stranding, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Control, Star Wars: Fallen Order and GRID Legends with a touch over 1.5TB to spare! My only problem now is finding time to play everything.

@@thedivinityman Kk thank you! I did have one last question about size. If I don't need to keep more than 6-7 triple A titles on my system at a time and delete most story based games when I'm done. Do I need 1TB? Or would 500gb be enough extra? I keep COD multi-player only, plus Fortnite, and Battlefield. And then a few JRPG and single players plus indie games. I'm just worried about having to upgrade.

@thedivinityman Жыл бұрын

@@ljeans531 honestly the amount you would save by going 500gb vs 1tb isn't worth the risk of running out of space, I currently am using a 2tb and with the size of some games I think 1tb would be a good choice for how many games you use, the other option is you can play PS4 games directly off of an external hard drive, but you can move games that are PS5 to an external hard drive, and move them back, it takes a while but still faster than downloading the game over again. Personally I would recommend the 1tb, but the choice is yours. If you don't care about the fastest drive, the crucial P3 plus (make sure you get the plus the regular crucial P3 won't work in the PS5) 1TB works and it's like 55 bucks on Amazon, it is a bit slower than Sony recommends but so far my friend who uses it hasn't had any issues
