I finally bought my first PS5. It doesn’t have a lot of memory on it, so I’m trying to find a m.2 ssd that will work in a PS5 and doesn’t cost $400. Does anyone have a good suggestion, like a good brand or place to get one? Please treat me like I’m five and have no idea what I’m talking about here, because I really don’t. I’m just hoping some nice folks on Lemmy will take pity and point me in the right direction.
The other options are great, but i recommend Sabrent just because it’s what I purchased and was slightly less money than WD at the time. It came with the heatsink as well, which replaces the cover and is really nice. Since then, I also built a new PC 2 years ago and liked it so much I decided to buy 2 higher end ones for my gaming pc, and they also have been just fine so far. I just got them off either Amazon or newegg at the time.
Just remember to buy the one specifically for ps5 since the read/write needs to be as higher or higher than the ps5 one. I think it has to be 6k or higher for it to work fine with ps5 games for loading purposes. Obviously, there are cheap ones, but it’s most likely due to older hardware and slower speeds. Just keep an eye out, and you will be fine.
That’s great advice, thank you!
