- ABOUT THIS VIDEO -
Finding the best SSD for a PS5 may appear to be a daunting task due to the numerous options available, but the reality is that there are numerous drives that will provide a simple and hassle-free capacity upgrade for your game library. We ran a slew of the fastest drives through a battery of tests to determine the best SSDs for the PS5 in terms of both performance and price.
The internal SSD on the PS5 is a limited 825GB, with formatting, updates, and bloatware typically leaving about 670GB free for games. That's bad news because today's games are getting bigger with each new release, and you'll also need to save all of the screenshots and video clips you collect while playing. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War alone consumes over 200GB! The good news is that Sony has an M.2 expansion slot where you can install a second, PS5 SSD with a capacity of up to 4TB.

Did you test the Nextorage it's a Sony brand?
We're talking difference of seconds not hours. Get what you can afford.
Yeah. And when you dont have them side by side, you wont notice a difference
Dude unless the fps you're playing loads in entirely new levels during the round having a slightly slower ssd will not get you killed
@@ShmEricthat's not what ssd does
whats the quality like of some of the lesser knowns as compared to wd etc?
What’s the cheapest 1TB ssd I can buy? I don’t care about anything other than getting more room for games
I got the WDSN850, just the regular one, not the P or X. Got the 2TB for $129 on Amazon two days ago for the prime day sale. Also had a $50 credit so I only paid $80 for it. Installing was a breeze and now I have sufficient storage space. Very happy with my purchase.
And two hours ago I bought the WDSN850P 1TB for 90EUR on Amazon Es, I'm from Portugal.
do u have to use heatsink
@@SGames_1it’s recommended cos if not the ps5 will warn you about overheating. I am using aorus gen 4 2tb with heatsink.
Mine crapped out after 6 months just warning you.
@@bigdumbjosh you mean if without the heatsink?
We've sure come a long way from the 128kb memory cards for the original playstation, which was $40 .. or $75 in todays money.
ya it truly is remarkable. Youngling gamers nowadays don’t know how good they got it
8mb on the ps2 but I miss the different colors for the memory cards.
Those didn't store whole games just load data.
I still recall the 64kb for PC pentium 333. Was a great day to spend $30 for the upgrade.
@@Admiral_tintin I could only afford the 386dx2. Couldn't afford the dx4 even.
980 Pro Heatsink 2tb was 159 on flash sell from the egg. Ps5 registered it as 6500 read speeds, which is a bit slower than advertised but still above requirements. Honestly I just needed a larger storage for all the ps5 games you get from PS+. Left the main two or three I play on system storage and offloaded the rest and new ones to PCIE storage. PS4 to external. Should last a while but the game sizes are getting a bit ridiculous.
That's the one I picked up from Amazon at the same price. The WD black was too expensive for the 2TB model.
BE careful with that drive. Jay from Jay's Two Cents just did a video on this. Apparently most drives made in 2021 had bad firmware and are set to corrupt over time. Put 980Pro and Jays Two Cents into TH-cam search and watch that video before you put it in your system!
i've heard that the ps5 can only read up to 6800 speed?! but hey that is still impressive
Just got the 1tb off Amazon for like $86 it's currently over 60% off right now.
@@taylorhession1905 seen a 2tb ssd reading at 7k for$ 117
The WD Black doesn't sell a heatsink separately. You'd think the 4TB model would have one come standard with a heatsink, but it doesn't. That's why WD Black doesn't rank among the top with me. It has to have a heatsink. No exceptions.
Super easy to buy 10 dollar heatsink and also super easy to install.
What is a heatsink and is it important? Noob question sorry.
@henrydauseb2844 A heat sink dissipates heat away from a component, preventing it from overheating. Overheating doesn't only cause crashing, but also causes damage to the component needing the heat sink. Heat sinks are always found on CPUs... unless you use liquid cooling. But that's aftermarket.
I installed a WD Black 2TB to my new ps5 "slim"and its been working great!!! No complaints here.😁👍
I managed to nab the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB for $99 during Amazon's Prime Days. I was so glad I waited 'cause it was about $140 before that. It's been a breath of fresh air to have so much storage and not worry about it.
As the video pointed out, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is 238GB, which is about a third (or more) of the usable space on the built-in SSD. I now have that game along with Death Stranding, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Control, Star Wars: Fallen Order and GRID Legends with a touch over 1.5TB to spare! My only problem now is finding time to play everything.
I got this same deal. Absolutely amazing. Was originally a near 400 dollar card!
How long have you been having the Samsung 980 pro and for a person who wants a memory card? Should I get one of these?
@@rakimisrael7641 -- I've only had it for a few weeks but it's been an absolute game changer for me as I now download games without worrying about storage. So yes, I highly recommend you upgrade. I can't believe it took me so long to make the move to expandable storage but I'm glad I did it.
That said, 2 TB won't last forever but after downloading 8 games including the 238 GB Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, I still have over 1.5 TB left.
I got it at launch. 99 is a steal lol
@@rakimisrael7641 Yes it's $80 now for 1TB model. I've had a refurbished one for more than a year now, no issues
I've been used an ADATA Legend 840 ssd in my PS5 for a year with no problem. It has very good price compared to others. Now ADATA is in my laptop and bought a 980 PRO heatsink version for the PS5 but I haven't noticed any difference in speed.
I’m surprised to not see Nextorage SSD on the list. Other tests I’ve seen have it on par with the WD black with better thermals and a competitive price. $160 for 2tb ssd, $90 for 1Tb.
>👍👍
Nope I bought that one and in 3 months it failed on me
@@edace1231 dam bro
@@edace1231 Did you get it with or without a heatsink?
@@ShapeshifterOS with heatsink
WD black SN850X 2TB is only 179.99$ on Amazon right now even since 2 weeks ago. Why not include in the video??? It’s a better version of SN850
This video clearly talks about m.2 SSD supported by PlayStation 5! As for the WD Black SN850x from WD's indications, it is not supported by consoles, but only for pc use. Read the support well before buying these memories 😉👌💪
I bought (2) 2tb sn850x from WD's website for$150/each. Using one for my ps5 (works great BTW), and the other as added storage for the pc
@@LinoBarraza Actually. Despite the lack of actual support from Western Digital, it is also mounted on the PlayStation 5. Although I have seen comparisons between the SN850 and the SN850x on the same PlayStation 5. I understand now why the video one (SN850) costs even more . A two years older product that continues to excel.
Would you recommend I buy the 2tb 850 as opposed to 850x for my ps5?
@@henrymagdaleno3893 I have had the 1TB WD Black SN850 installed on my PS5 for a year and a half. Never a problem, runs smooth as oil. Wonderful! Personally I'd skip the 850x. If I were you I would go with the SN850 model with cooler and officially licensed by WD for PS5. The 2TB on Amazon comes around 244USD. Personally 2TB is too much for PS5. The choice is yours. Go for the officially licensed WD_BLACK SN850 1TB NVMe SSD. You won't regret it, then let me know. ;)
I just got the Crucial P5 with heatsink 2 TB on Amazon for 107.99. Gets great reviews. About 5600 MB/s read speed per the PS5 after formatting. Amazing that prices have been cut in half just since this video 6 months ago.
You recommend?
@@hhsksshej2718 Yes so far so good. No problems with it.
I got the Samsung 980 pro 2tb for 140 dollars. Excellent product for the price point.
Thank you for the information.
I was fortunate enough to get a PS5 last year and put the XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2 TB drive in mine and a year later it is still going strong.
I just went for the firecuda, seagate is always the safest bet and the fact that Sony already use there parts was enough to sell me
I'm also leaning firecuda 🔥
i refuse to buy seagate. i’ve had multiple products of theirs fail on me throughout the last few years, very very disappointed in the brand and the warranty is pathetic compared to samsung and WD
I got the WD Black SN770 1Tb for $45 and a separate heatsink for $10 on Amazon. So I only spent $55 for a 1Tb PCIe 4.0 SSD that performs very similar to the internal PS5 SSD. I barely noticed much of a difference in loading times between the two.
I just got one recently too, is it still performing well and which heatsink did you buy for it
I just bought the 2Tb model with separate heatsink waiting for it to come in
Imo the corsair is the best on this list. It's near top speed, and usually the cheapest on a sale with 1,2, or 4tb options.
Question, does the 4TB Corsair come with a heatsink installed within?
@@lindsaymonroe567 all of the corsair do.
I have the 2T...and it is indeed fast.
I just my 4TB XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE today and so far I've got no complaints. It was really affordable for me hitting $350 for the storage size
Just got a PS5 yesterday and bought the WD_BLACK 2TB. Thanks for the tips.
Don't ever buy a ssd pci chip for your PS5 that doesn't have a heatsink. It may harm your PS5 console by overheating it. Regardless these are significantly less expensive than the expansion drives that are made for the xbox series x or s models.
Isn't it a demand from Sony, that it has to have a heatsink?
how come no actual tests? even with formatting on ps5? Lazy...boxes and ads can lie about speeds, while actual results can be much lower :\
I got the 2TB GAMMIX S70 Blade for $98 USD! Amazon had a decent coupon to clip!
The samsung 980 pro is over 60% off on Amazon right now. Got the 1 tb for like $86. Not sure how long that deal will last but it's the cheapest I've seen it get since I've been looking at them so I took advantage of the sale and snagged one up. Would have went with the 2 tb but I've already got a 1 tb external attached and at this point I feel like 1 more tb should be sufficient or I should admit that I've got a gaming problem 😂
2 tb for 159
I’m looking for 4-5TB😭
Yes just got the 2tb yesterday
I just copped the 2tb today from best buy. Is it okay to just go ahead and install in my ps5 as is? I've read reviews claiming in the past you needed to use Samsung to update the firmware. I don't think I have the ability to do that currently, but also saw others claiming newer models should be okay. It was only the older models. Anyone on here have any feedback on this? Or experience that can confirm if it's okay to use as is? Has anyone had any issues?
Amazon and samsung have it for 69 right now
I just bought a PS5 and bought a samsung 980 pro ssd 2TB built in heatsink for $166. Easy to install and plug and play. No issues.
Samsung's 990 Pro seems to be king of the hill for now though.
It's rather recent but it might have been available already when this vid was made.
For now still limited to 2TB though.
Prices have also taken a nosedive the past few months since the vid was made.
Is it worth it over the 980? Like is there any noticeable difference?
@@livinglegacy8429 I did find some limited info on that. It seems inconsequential overall. Results all ended up mostly in the margin of error, with some wins going to the 980 & others to the 990.
Mostly because the PS5 can't manage the full performance of the 990, which people assume based on the SSD performance check that's built into the console.
SO ... I bought a 980 Pro. Saved me about 100 EUR I guess.
Don't get the corsair mp600. I just got it from Amazon a few days ago and installed it 4 times each time I booted up the playstation 5. It asked me to uninstall it from the drive bay. I checked all of the negative reviews for one star and I couldn't believe what was going on. So many people had issues including the drive failing within 3 or 4 months losing all progress.
I bought a new 2TB Samsung 990 Pro for my Alienware R14 and put the 1TB m.2 gen 4 that came out of my R14 into my ps5 and it worked perfectly. It transferred 500 gig worth of games from the main drive to the expansion in about 3 minutes. Safe to say it works!
Although this video is not old, the WD sn850x would be the updated model of the sn850 for about the same price but better performance.
I was skeptical about the price being cheaper in the newest version and still couldn’t decide which to buy tbh, which do you recommend? Do you think there’s a catch?
@@lj1614 Looking up comparisons, the newer sn850x is faster in sequential read and write as well as random read and write speeds. I bought a couple newer sn850x 2tb drives and haven't been disappointed with them.
He said the firecuda BEATS OFF is that an extra feature or do we have to pay more for that?
TH-camrs: Instead of just saying which one to buy let's make a 10 minute video on it!
Me: **skips towards ending**
I have had the Xpg x70 blade 1TB which was fantastic but quickly filled. So bought the 4gb sabrent Rocket. Brilliant SSD.
go fot TB next time! (kidding)
The 'need for cooling' is overblown.
SMH...After spending all that money on a PS5, games AND an SSD storage upgrade, are you REALLY gonna get cheap over a piece of tech that costs $11 - $15 that will prevent your SSD from breaking after a couple/few years? That's like getting all kinds of sports equipment and clothing and then skipping out on water cuz "the 'need for cooling' is overblown"!
One big flaw of the PS5 is that you can't use the console to update the firmware of SSD's you put into the console. Not everyone has a SSD capable PC on hand to do that sort of stuff. This is a major oversight on Sony's part.
Isn't it just an advanced memory card at the end of the day? Would an ssd even need updates?
@@rye7839 That Firecuda SSD has a flaw in the firmware where the SSD bricks itself after a while. To fix it you need to update the SSD to the newest firmware before that happens, otherwise your SSD is done for. You can find more information about this issue with the Firecuda SSD if you search for it on the Internet. It's an issue within the read/write controller of the SSD.
This is my situation. I bought a 980 pro w heatsink today and not sure if I should just put in in my ps5 or if I need to do anything first. Keep hearing I should use Samsung magician first but I don't have my own personal pc to do it on and not tech savvy enough to really know how to do it if I did use a pc. I have a family member with a pc but do I have to actually install the ssd to do all that? I'm so confused lol
@@anothergamingchannel2656 there is an USB adapter for SSD's you can buy, not sure wqho sells them, but basically plug in the SSD to your laptop or pc through the usb slot to update the firmware. P.S. any Samsun with firmware version 1 to 1.5 is in the danger zone, ideally you want one that has firmware 3.0 or above out of the box or alternatively just look for the USB adapter and update the firmware yourself. Good Luck.
@@grimreaper9477 No
I got the WD SN850x 2tb for £135 the other day. Benchmarks are 6521mb read. absolute steal!
For me the only drive I'm waiting for is the Samsung 990 Pro with 4TB storage. I have a feeling this is going to be mad expensive.I have a 1TB 980 and it's already full with 16 games!
16 games in 1 TB is good. It is not AAA games as most are 100/150GB. So you could fit only 6 games at most.
I've got the Firecuda 530 4TB. There still is no faster SSD.
Had the 980 pro 1tb and swapped out yo the 2tb 980 pro. Got it for 100.00 during prime days.
I have tried a 2 TB Sabrient Rocket Q4, a 2TB Samsung 980 pro, and a Inland Performance 2 TB drive, The Samsung 980 Pro works best, the speed it gave me after formatting is 6550 Mbps, the Sabrient and the Inland performance were about the same at 4990 Mbps and 4890 respectively.
QUESTION! Will buying a used ssd affect performance in any way?
@@ljeans531 I would personally not get one because it could have been used in crypto mining and could have a lot of it's writing cycles used, it could have very little life left in it.
@@thedivinityman Kk thank you!
I did have one last question about size. If I don't need to keep more than 6-7 triple A titles on my system at a time and delete most story based games when I'm done. Do I need 1TB? Or would 500gb be enough extra?
I keep COD multi-player only, plus Fortnite, and Battlefield. And then a few JRPG and single players plus indie games. I'm just worried about having to upgrade.
@@ljeans531 honestly the amount you would save by going 500gb vs 1tb isn't worth the risk of running out of space, I currently am using a 2tb and with the size of some games I think 1tb would be a good choice for how many games you use, the other option is you can play PS4 games directly off of an external hard drive, but you can move games that are PS5 to an external hard drive, and move them back, it takes a while but still faster than downloading the game over again. Personally I would recommend the 1tb, but the choice is yours. If you don't care about the fastest drive, the crucial P3 plus (make sure you get the plus the regular crucial P3 won't work in the PS5) 1TB works and it's like 55 bucks on Amazon, it is a bit slower than Sony recommends but so far my friend who uses it hasn't had any issues
@@thedivinityman kk, thanks. That's a pretty good perspective. Cause I do buy 50% of the Sony exclusives.
GameStop’s M.2 2TB is absolutely amazing would recommend!
i use the 980 Pro 2TB with the special Elecgear heatsink. 1 thing i needed to update the firmware to the latest version which only works with a pc's nvme slot. it does 6500MB/s
What happens if I don't update it? I don't have my own pc. I could maybe use someone else's but is it a hassle to update it? I would have to install it in to the pc wouldn't I? Sorry for dumb questions. I'm new to this and still learning
It will run at lower speed. I would recommend the WD SN850. It has no problems out of the box and is plug and play.@@anothergamingchannel2656
This channel is great at helping people "me" and i think this channel deserves to be seen more. much love (:
I went with the Corsair 2TB. Was on sale for only $129
Same here. Works flawlessly.
Same here
I buy Gammix S70 1Tb for just $57. Yes its 6000Mb/s on PS5. I put Orico Nvme Heatsink with heatpipe on it. And dang.. its awesome.
Just got a 2tb seagate external for my series x. Now that I watched this video, I’ll be going back to get the WD Black for my PS5
I picked the XPG and it’s great. I mostly picked it for its speed and TBW. Total Terabytes Written. Which is quite large meaning it will last a long time
do u use external heatsink or the included one
@@AjayVerma-gp8jr I just used the included one. I did buy one later that replaced the cover of the SSD bay but I can’t seem to remove the heat sink I originally put on. But it’s working fine so I’ll just hold onto that newer heat sink for another time
@@Bloodklot should i put the included one or buy after market and use it for ps5 👍
@@AjayVerma-gp8jr you should be ok either way
best drive for PS5 is Corsair MP600 Pro XT it has Big heatsink that keeps the drive very cool and No you don't need the stupid nvme bay cover it's actually even better for the drive to be open so the heat can escape since the drive bay is completely closed off
Corsair has the same drive with smaller heatsink PS5 compatible LPX version but it's best to get Pro XT exactly cause of the amazing heatsink plus you can get 2TB for like 180 Euro
leave it open so it can fill up with dust. most people are too lazy to take the cover off and clean behind there every now and then, so not a good idea for the lazy people
its not going to fill with dust and if you prefer to fry your ssd and probably the PS5 itself then close it but i know many ppl have that problem just google it plus mine has been open for over 1 year and it's completely clean and you know what they say you can't have nice things if you don't take care of them and if you are that lazy then how do you even play games
AITC Kingsman K2 KP800 4tb price is very cheap n it’s also benchmark read 7500/ write 6500 speed with a ok heatsink included with it.
I’m about to buy this product hope it’s good
Just got the xpg 2tb s70 blade for $95 on Amazon. $110 plus a $15 coupon. Insane
I got my WD Black 1 TB awhile ago for $75. Long story short Amazon messed up my order.
The PS5 supports 8TB drives now. Note: You MUST update your system software for it to recognize a drive of this size. The stock software only goes up to 4TB. I went with the Corsair 8TB.
lol i use the samsung 980 pro 2tb for my laptop and can say it is very nice
corsair is faster then the samsung and better priced, why the F did you put it on a lower spot?
A lot of NVMEs are on sale at amazon rn
it's the cheapest right now
th-cam.com/video/IVCZfD5_8uk/w-d-xo.html
I went with the Samsung and it performs perfectly
I got the PS5 endorsed Seagate ssd, works perfect.
I’m currently using aorus gen 4 2tb.
I went for the Corsair mp600 a 50/50 product I guess🤔
I got the 1TB KC3000 at Canada Computers for $99 last week, it's great. I couldn't afford the 170+ prices for the 2TB but I shouldn't really need all that space for a long time.
You really don’t Need to play more than 10 games at the same time I just play 5 and you can delete And keep going
I bought the same SSD 9 months ago, added a $13 heat sink and it has been working great!
I was thinking about getting a 4 tb external memory for like 200 dollars isn’t that a better deal?
I had samsung points so i got the 2tb 980 for $73. Its been working anazing for me after almost a year of use
just got the SN850x 4tb from amazon prime day for $140 ($250- 110 credit i had) i'm maxed out and happy...until 8tb sticks get unlocked & lower in price LOL.
Update: after initial updates I installed 15 games and I've used 1.2 tb already. Couple of the games was around 100gb. I added my old 8tb WD external hdd for ps4 game storage and swap out space. The speed of loads and transitions are great even w ps4 games.
Doesn't get used much but I bought a refurbished 980 Pro 1TB last September. No issues
I just got the 980 pro 2Tb for $139. So freaking awesome.
I bought the Corsair 4 TB LPX wanted most space.
I just intalled the 1TB SN850 WD Black today and cant wait to try it out. I hope it was the best choice. I paid $85 on Amazon.
Bro can i know your feed back on WD Black SN850x after 2 months of use
Got the WD Black SN850 2TB for $129 on Amazon Prime day.
Picked up the MP600 2TB for $130 on Amazon. Taking the PS5 on a trip and needed to load up some games 😅
Whatever the SSD you chose dont buy a WD. It will crash on you within a couple years if not less. The Samsung 980 Pro 2tb with heatsink included is only $150.
Got 980 2tb no worries good to go
This the one I’m finna get for 130$
The samsung drives don't work properly on the PS5. The read and write speed should be around 6500mb/s. But sometimes it reads around 5500mb/s. It needs a firmware update through your pc first. Reddit is filled with reports on this. I would recommend a different drive for easy install. Like de WD black SN850. This drive does not have this problem.
No one ever mentions the Addgame A95. Writes up to 7100 MBS, heatsink included, advertises to run up to 30° cooler, and around $120.00 for the 2TB model. I have Addgame in my PS5, and have no regrets in my choice.
Looks good! But unfortunately not available in the Netherlands
The addgame or sabrent rocket 4?
surprised aswell, but for the Solidigm P44 Pro (released 4th quarter 2022) who have great performances
I chosed Firecuda 2Tb and im glad i do it
I have the 980 pro 2tb heatsink, I got it for 150. I just checked best buy and it's 130 right now. Cheapest I've seen it
I'm a Samsung guy but I'm going with the 4TB Firecuda
The GM7000 is a far, far better deal. 4TB for just $80 more than the WD and their speeds are nearly identical (GM7000 has slightly faster reads).
which one is that???
Is it recommended to also purchase a heatsink with your 4TB SSD WD SN850X for your PS5??
I got the Kingston Fury 2TB heat sink for €130, read speed on PS5 was exactly 6500mb/s, That’ll do.
We are installing a WD_BLACK 4TB SN850X NVMe with a DIY heatsink designed for PS5 cooling.
2tb Wd 850p or 990 pro?
Is the 990 pro even worth it over the 980? Like is there any noticeable difference?
I purchased the WD Black 1GB from Amazon and that’s all I need. Haven’t even installed it yet.
how'd you can compare and test if you don't have the units? let me guess, digging the internet?
I'm using gamix Blade for almost a year now, so far, no issue.
Call me stupid but what the hell is a heatsink?
To keep it cool so it won’t get to hot if it’s too Hot it will cause problems
@nivea4x252 that's what I figured but wasn't sure. Thanks
With this storage and heat sinks on is it better to have the little metal cover on or off to allow the drive to vent better?
Cover ON! Unless you want dust bunnies in those unreachable crevices. Or get a 3rd party cover plate with a dust screen mesh for breathability!
Thanks. I got the Corsair m.2
Do ssd enhance console performance for my ps5? Like will I notice a different when playing warzone etc?
Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink 2 TB got it for only $99 on Amazon Day July 11-12
The best one is the FireCuda Beskar Ingot SSD, This is the Way. 😂
🤣
I was lucky enough to snatch up a 1tb WD Black for $46 on Amazon a few weeks ago!
I bought Kingston 4TB for my PS 5, download a lot of games in it.
Wd black 2tb 😊
The problum is you picked all name brand SSD's when there are better and cheaper alternatives out there.
Name a few please... I'm new to the ssd ps5 world

@Mont'e Macon which is your fave? My ps5 will get here Thursday and I plan on buying a ssd in a month.
@@Shotty2daFACE Get the adata
What about sabrent ssd???
My 2tb firecuda 530 only lasted 5 months causing ps5 to shutdown when booting up. Don't know if I dare risk buying another ssd
MSI Tomahawk is the best for your money . Asus has been having bios locking issues and Gigabyte rams are not that great for overclocking .
The Corsair has had issues with reading and writing.
Be careful with this model
Samsung 980 pro shows 6503mb/s sounds like thats pretty good to me and comes heat sink already installed
I bought the WD BLACK SN850x 2TB with heatsink just last week. All good 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The black is on sale now for $169 2TB with heatsink
