Best M.2 SSDs for Expanding Your PS5’s Storage

We’ve tested the best M.2 solid-state drives for the PlayStation 5 and are here to provide our expert opinions.

While you’re eagerly awaiting those PS5 restocks from your favorite store, now’s the time to start thinking about picking up some expanded storage for it. It’s all too easy to burn through the allotted built-in storage with popular games like God of War: Ragnarök taking up nearly 85GB alone. With the best M.2 SSD for PS5, you won’t have to worry about choosing which games you have room for.

Sony unlocked the PS5’s extra internal storage drive slot in 2021. This option wasn’t available when the PS5 launched in fall 2020, but now you can access that extra space to beef up your console’s current storage capacity. Just grab the best M.2 SSD for your gaming needs. There are plenty of M.2 SSD PS5 storage options to give you that extra storage boost.

It can be hard to find a superfast M.2 drive, especially one with a built-in heatsink. That’s an essential feature to prevent overheating. So if your solid-state drive doesn’t have one, you’ll have to add it manually. We’ve made some suggestions below to help with that process.

If you’re ready to expand your game library, keep reading. We’ve tested several drives, including the 4TB Seagate FireCuda 530, which we installed in this how-to feature, and you can find those transfer time results below.

The drives above have all been tested, and you’ll see there’s not a lot of difference in performance between them. The most notable thing is that writing to the M.2 drive is a lot faster than writing back to the internal PS5 drive.

Below are some additional drives and accessories that we have not tested yet, but should all work fine.

FAQs

We update this list regularly, and below are answers to some of the most common PS5 M.2 SSD questions.
