You can get 2 top SSDs for the PS5 on Amazon for a really cheap price

Are you still looking for an SSD for your PS5? You can currently get two SSDs on Amazon really cheaply. MeinMMO introduces you to what you can currently buy. You can also get a third SSD cheaply, but this has a small disadvantage.

Since September 2021 you can finally expand the memory of your PS5. But while you can only buy a certain type of SSD for the Xbox Series X, you can choose from a whole range of devices for your PS5. This poses many users with the question of which SSD they should buy for their console.

At the current time (as of 01/02/2022) you can get 2 SSDs very cheaply and that could be worthwhile for all of you who were able to buy a PS5 over the Christmas period.

A third SSD is also available, but it has a catch.

Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB

What kind of SSD is that? With the 980 PRO, Samsung has presented a powerful SSD for the PS5. With a recommended price of around 200 euros, it is one of the more expensive models if you want to buy an SSD for your PS5.

According to gamerevolution, you get a powerful SSD for your PS5, which is easy to install and offers a lot of performance (via gamerevolution.com). The only disadvantage is that you should mount an additional heat sink if you want to use the SSD.

WD_BLACK SN750 – But it has a catch

What kind of SSD is that? With the SN750, Western Digital had presented an SSD that relies on PCIe 4.0, but is theoretically too slow for the PS5.

However, the online magazine Digital Foundry had tested the SN750 (via play3.de). The SSD from Western Digital does not meet Sony’s minimum requirements for the PS5, but the performance is hardly worse than the successor model (SN850). The SN850 supports the PS5 and is used by the chief architect for the PS5.

The tech expert Linus had also tried out what happens if you install a “wrong” SSD in your PS5. The expert was able to install the SSD in his console without any problems and also use it for games. In the following article we explain what happens if you install the wrong SSD in your PS5:

Basically, the WD_Black SN750 should work in your PS5. But if you want to be on the safe side, we would recommend the other two SSDs from Samsung and Crucial. These definitely support the specified Sony specifications.

How much can you save? You are currently paying 116.49 euros instead of 185.99 euros for the SSD on Amazon. You save 37% compared to the normal price on Amazon.
