Are you still looking for an SSD for your PS5? Currently, you can get two SSDs on Amazon at a really good price. MeinMMO introduces you to what you can currently buy. You can also get a third SSD at a low price, but it has a slight disadvantage.
Since September 2021, you can finally expand the storage of your PS5. While you can only buy a specific type of SSD for the Xbox Series X, you can choose from a whole range of devices for your PS5. This raises the question for many users as to which SSD they should buy for their console.
At the current time (as of 2.01.2022), you can get 2 SSDs especially cheap, which could be worth it for all of you who were able to purchase a PS5 over the Christmas season.
A third SSD is also on offer, but it has a catch.
Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB

WD_BLACK SN750 – But it has a catch
What kind of SSD is this? With the SN750, Western Digital introduced an SSD that uses PCIe-4.0, but is theoretically too slow for the PS5.
The online magazine Digital Foundry tested the SN750 (via play3.de). Although the SSD from Western Digital does not meet Sony’s minimum requirements for the PS5, its performance is hardly worse than the successor model (SN850). The SN850 supports the PS5 and is used by the lead architect for the PS5.
Also, tech expert Linus 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 an incompatible SSD in your PS5:
Basically, the WD_Black SN750 should work in your PS5. However, if you want to be on the safe side, we recommend the other two SSDs from Samsung and Crucial. These definitely support the mentioned specifications from Sony.
How much can you save? Currently, you pay 116.49 Euros for the SSD on Amazon instead of 185.99 Euros. This means you save 37% compared to the normal price on Amazon.
