If you want to buy an SSD for your PS5, you need to consider a lot of things. New accessories might make this much easier for many users. MeinMMO presents the accessories to you.
Sony unlocked the long-awaited SSD slot of the PS5 at the end of 2021. Because around 667 GB are left for games and apps on the PS5. Especially modern games require a lot of space.
Since the official update, you can even install a new SSD yourself with a little skill. However, you need to pay attention to various things:
- Only SSDs with a minimum performance fit into the PS5
- Only M.2 SSDs fit into the PS5.
- A heatsink is also recommended: This is a heat sink that is mounted on the SSD.
For many users, these points make the installation of an SSD unnecessarily complicated. But now a manufacturer has introduced new accessories for the PS5. This should make the installation of an SSD in the PS5 significantly easier for many users in the future. Some users have already tested what happens when you install an incompatible SSD in the PS5.
New heatsink from SilverStone makes selecting SSDs much easier
What kind of accessory was introduced? SilverStone has announced the TP06. This is a specially designed PS5 M.2 SSD heatsink. This specially shaped piece of technology is designed to sit perfectly on the SSD and keep it cool.
This should make the search for an SSD significantly easier for many. Because now you no longer have to choose an SSD based on the suitable cooling solution. Instead, you can simply buy an SSD with the right performance and just mount the heatsink from SilverStone on top.
Why is this a sensible idea? The presentation also means for many users: The selection of SSDs that can be installed in the PS5 is likely to grow significantly with such a heatsink.
Because previously, either the heatsink had to fit on the SSD, or the cooling itself could not be too strong. If you are still looking for an SSD for your PS5, then take a look at our buying advice on MeinMMO:
This kind of upgrade for the PS5 is not entirely new
Has something like this existed before? SilverStone is not the first manufacturer to offer such a heatsink. The manufacturer Sabrent has already come up with the idea and offers a heatsink specifically made for the PS5 in addition to suitable SSDs.
With a price of 34.99 Euros or currently on sale for 24.99 Euros, the price for this cooling solution is also significantly higher than for other heatsinks. Here the price is usually between 10 and 15 Euros.
