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.
You’re not spending all that much for an SSD, and it doesn’t replace the internal storage. It’s a separate slot.
And again, there’s no alternative that you can play PS5 games off of.
Interesting. I was under the misconception that it only had one slot. When I looked up initial articles, they only described “How to replace the SSD”. Now I might look for one.
If you just pop the side panels off (and it just snaps off and on, though looking at the reference for the right way to direct the pressure is a good idea, you see a little metal panel covering an empty slot for the SSD. You just pop it in, turn it back on, and it tests your SSD speed then makes it available to put games on. The whole process is super simple.
