Just a quick note: The original PS5 only has roughly 667GB of usable space, so you’ll be more than doubling your storage capacity with any of the drives listed above. The new PS5 Slim, which is available for $500 with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for Black Friday, improves on that by offering roughly 842GB of usable space. That’s a big leap, but even if you pick up the PS5 Slim, it’s not a bad idea to increase your storage space out of the box.
The most affordable PS5 SSD to consider is the 1TB Nextorage Japan SSD with Heatsink, as it’s just $56 (down from $70). Installing the hardware is simple, as it features a built-in heatsink, and you’ll get incredible performance that caps out at 7300MB/s. The company is a subsidiary of Sony–so you know its products will work perfectly with PS5.
