Before this, only external drives could be used on the PS5, and these were limited to playing last-gen games. Now, it&#8217;s easy to add gigabytes or even terabytes of storage for PS5 games in just a few minutes &#8211; and this article shows you how. <\/p>\n<p>This explainer is necessary because, unlike Microsoft, Sony isn&#8217;t making its own official drives in a unique form factor. Instead, standard PC NVMe SSD drives from a wide range of manufacturers will work &#8211; as long as the drive is fast enough and physically fits inside the PS5. This should make upgrading your storage cheaper in the long run, but the requirements are a little complicated &#8211; so we&#8217;ve prepared this blog to recommend the best SSDs for the PS5. We&#8217;ve also covered the best PS5-compatible heatsinks, dug into the requirements in more detail and answered your questions &#8211; all accessible via the quick links below. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/digitalfoundry-best-ssds-for-ps5\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Late last year, Sony finally added the ability to install your own SSD in the PS5.
