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.

    This is true if you live in a place with good internet, which is effectively nowhere in the U.S… I just had a friend who was basically without internet for 3 weeks because of how garbage Spectrum is. Good luck downloading a game then.

    Or when live services shut down.

      You don’t need super fast internet for it to be faster than the optical drive though. Standard gigabit internet is enough. It’s not like the PS5 has a 10GbE port anyway.
