PS5 SSD: Common Questions
What is the best SSD for PS5 in the UK?
The Lexar NM620 2TB offers excellent value for PS5 at £82.99 (4.1p/GB). It meets Sony's NVMe M.2 requirements.
What NVMe speed does the PS5 require?
Sony recommends a minimum 5,500 MB/s read speed. Gen 4 NVMe drives typically reach 7,000+ MB/s — well above the requirement. Gen 5 drives work too but max out at Gen 4 speeds in the PS5.
Does a PS5 SSD need a heatsink?
Yes. Sony requires a heatsink. Some drives include one; others need an aftermarket heatsink (£5–£15). Without one your PS5 will reject the installation.
How much PS5 SSD storage do I need?
The PS5's internal SSD is 825GB. A 1TB expansion drive roughly doubles your usable storage. 2TB is ideal if you keep a large game library. The sweet spot for value is usually 1TB–2TB.
