Playstation 5 compatible SSD drives are on sale all over Amazon US!

As I discovered yesterday when I was preparing my new PS5. I thought I'd see how much a 4TB SSD was, so that I'd have no space issues in the future. Oh dear. Looks like I'm sticking with the external drive from my PS4 🤣
I think I'm gonna do it.
There's a lot of PS5 games I just want to keep on here. For example all the Resident Evils. Deleted Demon Souls for space which feels bad. At one point I wanted to jump into Death Stranding on a whim lol but deleted that for the more current games.
Ragnarok and Last of Us Part 1 are coming and that's more space I'd have to free up.
I think 1.6 TB of games at all times should be good enough for the rotation.

Yeah, I have PS Plus and I keep downloading games, playing for a bit and moving on, while planning on going back to those games later, but I keep having to delete some for space. haha.
So I assume you are going with 1 TB extra?
I bought a 2TB SN850
Great so far
I love not needing to move games to HDD and wait for 30 mins when I wanna play something new
Also helps that all my PS5 games can update now now that they are all in SSD
Made the overall experience a lot better

Time for the dremel then. Haven't seen a replacement door with holes. Just heatsinks that replace it.
Thats why I got a plain SSD.
Honestly I'd recommend the P41. I would have if I hadn't managed to get the 980 Pro from a price error at Best Buy.

This not only has a door with holes but also a freaking copper heat pipe hanging off the side.
I'm currently in the usa visiting my in laws. Glad this thread came up as I got my ps5 literally a day before I had to fly and already wanted to pick up a decent ssd for it.
Gonna probably grab one of the nextorage drives for mine, probably the 1tb one as that'll be fine for me. Works out to about £115 which isn't bad with the heatsink too. Think a friend is gonna want me to grab him one before I fly home too haha.
Cheers for the thread OP!

I think most places online would at least strongly suggest getting the heatsink but not entirely sure it's outright required. If I was you I'd absolutely take the heatsink option to be safe.
specifically for PS5 though, wasnt' sure if they allow space for heatsinks or some smaller ones are ok?
PS5 SSD heatsink explained: what is it for and do you really need one?
To heatsink, or not to heatsink?
According to this Sony outright say yes to use one.
Edit: It does note DF used one without for a few weeks and noticed no issues but who knows if certain drives or issues may show up by doing so down the road. Of course Sony will suggest to use one even if it isn't outright required to cover their bases in the random event something bad happens if one without is used but I'd still use one just to be safe.

Thanks. One more thing to make sure fits. Assume big brands like WD ones will be fine
Great thread OP! I had bought a 980 Pro 1TB with a heatsink for $135ish a few months ago but glad to see these prices drop even lower!
I think so, if you check DF when they tested the ssds after launch they probably show some that do.
Yep, pretty much. Gonna have to for a while until prices get cheaper for 4TB Nvmes!

The SK Hynix Platinum P41 2TB is $220 after coupon on Amazon right now. That and the Kingston Fury Renegade are now the two I'm looking at along with the Nextorage.
Not sure if this was posted. NewEgg Ebay store has the Gamixx for $239

Deal is also happening in UK, so ordered a 1TB drive yesterday which I received and installed today, thank you OP!
little question, It was a WD one, I thought the speed was going to be 7000 but it's 6500something, is this still good?

Nextorage NEM-PA NVMe SSD Review & Benchmark - THE Sony & Phison Choice?
Review of the Nextorage NEM-PA PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD Why should you care about the Nextorage NEM-PA SSD? It is a reasonable question at the start of 2022, as it is fair to say that there are now quite a lot of SSDs available in the market that promise upwards and over 7,000MB/s. The hardware architecnascompares.com
That is a particularly good review of the Nextorage SSD.
I think I want to pull the trigger on a 2TB drive..
I bought another 2TB from Currys because they had the 980 Pro with heatsink £70 cheaper than the drive without heatsink a few weeks ago, looks like it's back up to £289.99 now though
The ones that don't quite meet the ps5 specs probably will. I got one for 165 earlier this year. Otherwise it's probably going to be another year or two imo.
Is this one good for a PS5? Options are a bit diff in Canada.

$108 for 1TB from a good brand. It doesn't have the presentation of a cheap brand though despite the price.

Just installed the 1TB nextorage and the console says the read speed is 6539. Is that normal? Shouldn't it be 7300? What read speed were your consoles stating?
EDIT:
Looks like this is normal and notably good:
I clearly don't know shit about this. Haha

Dang, not directly from Amazon(just a third party seller).
I still don't like paying 200+ bucks for storage but this is the best it gets for now.
There is no news about it because that is the intended result of proprietary storage options.
Should be hitting that price by next year holiday sales.
WD Black SN850 1TB with heatsink for £99.74 - seems to be a one day only price on Amazon. Crazy good price for the drive I think. Also the 2TB with heat sink is £177.99.
If you've been holding out - now's the time too buy!

Samsung 980 Pro with heatsink is £95.99, which is the better one?
Nextorage 1TB is down to 109.99 USD on Amazon US. For Prime members.
Below £100 is great…. but now the 2tb is kinda tempting! don't need that much…don't need that much…
