I’m considering buying some extra storage space for my PS5. Last time I was out of town, my partner tried to play a game and they couldn’t, because I deleted it to make room. They went to download it but it was out of space, so of course they didn’t want to delete anything. That makes me sad because I want to encourage them to use it and game lol.
Plus, I think it would make it easier rather than always downloading and deleting things.
Have other people bought extra storage for PS5? What kind would you recommend?
Do you go for internal or external? Do you have the heat sink if an internal one? Is 4TB enough or overkill? I think I saw that amount somewhere once (unless I imagined it) but maybe 1 or 2 TB is good, and probably easier to find.
I have a internal ssd, external doesn’t work to run your games on it, so i wouldn’t recommend it. I bought the Samsung 980 PRO 2TB with an extra heatsink, the heatsink is so cheap im comparison to the ssd so i would say better be safe and buy a heatsink, it’s also noted as required from sony. I wouldn’t buy any official lisenced ssd, they all overpriced. I think pushsquare has many guides about ssd’s, maybe worth a look.
Thats not quite true, any ps4 games you have are happy to use an external ssd and then you can save your internal storage for the titles that actually need it.
Well… That’s true, but wouldn’t solve enough for me, because i easily fill my storage with ps5 games. And ps4 games load a bit faster on a ssd
My PS4 had a 2TB SSHD so when the PS5 launched with backwards compatibility I bought a 2TB USB SSD for my BC library (otherwise the PS5 internal storage capacity would have been a significant downgrade). Then when they added software support for the extended storage slot I added a 2TB M.2 card to support current gen titles. They both have their uses.
Of course as tends to happen they are all full anyway so new installs have to operate on a one-in / one-out policy.
