Best SSD for PS5 2024 (Watch This Before Buying One!)

[@BluesFanUK_]

Got a 4TB 990 Pro the other day, transferred 300GB in 3 minutes, insane.

[@_mylastname]

Yes, moving from console to this expansion are lightning fast!!! Downloading into the SSD is pretty damn fast too

[@mastert4303]

I've just ordered mine expected tomorrow I can't wait 👍😎

[@anttitapio4145]

PS 2 used 8 MB memory card through magic gate. PS 5 supports SSD up to 8 TB...thats equal to 1 000 000 PS 2 memory cards. Quite crazy.

[@blybruce]

The PS2 memory card was only for save points. The PS5 SSD is for the whole game. Save points do not require as much memory.

[@CiprianAnastasiu1988]

Got the 2TB Adata XPG S70 Blade and bought a cheap 6mm heatsink because the included 1mm heatsink made me think it would not be enough. The transfer speeds from internal storage to it are insanely fast. Had it for a year in the PS5 and it runs fantastic. No need for expensive ssd that does absolutely nothing better mounted in the PS5.

[@adab4216]

Ok where can I buy Adata I uk lol nowhere

[@blutooth9535]

I have the same one 1terabyte makes the ps5 cooler by 20% have no issue haven’t seen ur pa5 is overheated

SAMSUNG 990 PRO w/Heatsink here..so far satisfied

[@BarisSOZUAK]

I bought Kingston Fury Renegade w/o heatsink. Added a huge heatsink and installed without cover. Gives 6896Mb/s. TBW : 2000Gb

[@anamositykilla2190]

I have a huge heat sink for my 980 samsung pro. I can't put the cover on it. Lol. But it's never acted up on me either. If it shuts off its because the power supply needs cleaned up. The power supply is the icheles heal to the ps5.

[@Archimitros]

Got the 2TB Fircuda without heatsink as a black friday deal in Norway for about 99$,and got the Sabrent one off Amazon. Works like a charm! Speed reads at around 6500. No overheating issues or anything so far

I cop’d da Xpg 1terabyte no issue no ps5 is overheating

strange, but not in the video, not in the comments there is no gigabyte aorus 7000s, or 7300s. I've had a ps5 1tb 7000s for almost two years and it's great. I think you can buy it for 2tb.

You might as well get the 2tb Firecuda with heatsink from the start. I originally got the 1tb and quickly filled it up. So I put that in my pc and got the 2tb for my PS5 . I just love the name...FIRECUDA ❗❗❗❗🤔

If it's cheaper than a 7000MBps drive then go for it. Otherwise it's a waste of money as the ps5 Max's them out around 6900MBps Edit I misread lol. You bought it

[@dulantos]

What’s the update on your 990 pro? I want to buy one but would like to hear your honest opinion on it first.

[@proskills991]

@dulantos honestly.. its been great! I've had it for one month by now at this point and even though I did not update the ssd like people have said and not used a heatsink, it's been working fine and fast too! I transferred 80gbs in about 9 seconds

[@-50shadesofINSANITY]

Yes,heatsink is a must..because it will hot a lot and can dmg your PS components inside aswell..at least from my research and was thermal..

[@whattheworldsneedswhatneed774]

Firecuda over heats a lot. You have to buy a third party cooler fan to cool down the ps5. It's what I been told.

You can store games on external drives, but you can't play them. They will transfer back to internal faster than re-downloading, though.

Actually the best one. Should’ve been included in this video and many people in this comment section are clueless to why it isn’t. But if it was to have been included it would’ve took the top spot by a long margin as it is currently the best ssd

[@DemonhunterPaul]

I'm new to ps5...with these things, do you get to play the game directly off from them? I ask because I just found out that if I send games to my external hard drive I can't, which is frustrating.

Yes with these you can move your ps5 games and play them from there.

So what IS the maximum SSD speed the PS5 can handle? The minimum, 5,500GB/s, is very well known but I don't see anyone mentioning the maximum. What sort of interface is this? Is it PCIe 4.0 x4? So 8,000GB/s maximum?

Is there a single 4TB drive for the PS5 that is confirmed NOT to have firmware issues? I'm asking because I've been using a Samsung 980 2TB for my PS5, and it died yesterday. Now I'm reading that these had some firmware issue that caused them to die early. I could care less about some marginal plus/minus 10-20% in performance, I just don't want the damn thing that I pay hundreds of dollars for to die on me.

[@LyuboA]

it's Not firmware issue it's BAD cooling you probably didn't had heatsink or got one per Sony Idiotic specs and closed the SSD bay this is the Only reason SSDs in PS5 dies just get Corsair MP600 PRO XT NOT LPX it has great heatsink that sticks out from the ssd bay providing much better cooling and don't try to close the ssd bay the heatsinks that replace the ssd bay cover are also an option but i wouldn't use them on a double sided ssd meaning 2TB and 4TB ssds

Pretty sure the PS5's arquitecture limits the max. transfer to between 8-9 GB/sec. (Compressed). So 10GB+ will never be feasible. Don't waste your money on anything over 8GB/sec.

The Best NVME for PS5 is one like Corsair MP600 Pro XT NOT LPX cause it has Bigger heatsink that sticks out from the ssd bay allowing for better cooling even if you have ssd with smaller heatsink Never close the ssd bay don't listen to what Sony says ssd bay is Completely closed off from the system so there's no airflow at all and when you close the door all the heat just stays there Corsair MP600 Pro XT already has very good Heatsink for PS5 but you can also get Seagate Firecuda 530 with a 3th party heatsink that is as big as Corsair MP600 Pro XT theres several great choices on Amazon many ppl have put small heatsinks on their ssd per Sony Stupid specs and closed the tray which caused their ssd to fail some even ruined their PS5s so if you understand anything about how heat behaves you know what to get

You're so right! The bay cover is there to be removed once an SSD is installed. Like a dummy cover.

[@blybruce]

@@theuncanspan The cover should be reinstalled after the SSD is installed. It is designed to direct airflow from the fan over the SSD. If the cover is not reinstalled, the airflow will not be directed correctly.

Do not buy anything from WD directly. Use a third party if you insist on having their products. The reason I say this is because they have delivered my product using UPS, who left it in an insecure location from where it was stolen (if it was actually my door, can't really tell from the picture), and now they refuse to help. They insisted I get a crime number which I have done and now they have just turned around, ordered me a 20% discount on my next purchase OR an extra years warranty on the item that has been stolen. Complete joke of a company, I will be taking it further and completely out of their hands.
