The best SSDs for PS5 in 2025

The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX makes it to the top of our list for the best PS5 SSD for being the complete package.

The Crucial T500 is a great option with read speeds of up to 7,300MB/s.

The Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus comes with a unique heatsink that you install in place of the storage expansion slot’s metal cover.

The PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro can accept internal drives with between 250 GB and 8 TB of storage capacity.

250 GB drives aren’t that much cheaper than 500 GB ones.

500 GB drives can be a decent option, but after years of declining prices, the sweet spot for most people is to opt for a high-capacity 1 TB or 2 TB drive.

An external drive connects to your PS5 via USB , and is only suitable for playing PS5 games.

Early testing showed that the PS5 would accept drives as slow as 4,800MB/s.

The PS5 can fit 22mm -wide SSDs of virtually any length ( 30mm , 40mm , 60mm , 80mm or 110mm ) The maximum height supported by Sony ’s slot is 11.25mm , of which only 2.45mm can be “below” the drive.
