Quick answer

The PS5 needs an M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD with a read speed of at least 5,500 MB/s and a heatsink, in capacities from 250GB up to 8TB (Sony supports up to 8TB via firmware). 1TB is the recommended minimum and 2TB is the sweet spot. SATA SSDs and older PCIe Gen3 drives are not supported. Installing an M.2 SSD does not void the warranty. You can fit a Gen5 drive, but it runs at Gen4 speed in the PS5, so there is no benefit. The table below ranks every PS5-compatible SSD on Amazon.co.uk by live price per terabyte.

As of 27 June 2026

Which SSD capacity for the PS5?

Use caseBest choiceWhy
Entry / tight budget1TBAbout 10 to 13 large games; doubles the base console but fills fast in the GTA 6 era.
Most owners (recommended)2TBAround 25 large games, fits GTA 6 plus a library, and usually the lowest price per terabyte.
Large or shared library4TBRoughly 50 big games installed at once; the premium over 2TB has narrowed.
Maximum, never delete8TBAbout 100 games; the firmware ceiling, smallest field and highest price per terabyte.

Internal SSD or external drive?

Buy an internal M.2 SSD if

  • You want to install and play more PS5 games at full speed.
  • You play big current-gen titles like GTA 6.
  • You are happy fitting an M.2 drive (about ten minutes).

An external USB drive is enough if

  • You only need a cheap archive for PS5 games.
  • You mainly play PS4 games, which run from USB directly.
  • You want the most storage per pound and not PS5 play speed.

Frequently asked questions

What SSD is compatible with the PS5?

An M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD with a heatsink, a read speed of at least 5,500 MB/s, and a capacity up to 8TB. SATA SSDs and older PCIe Gen3 drives are not supported.

Does a PS5 SSD need a heatsink?

Yes. Sony requires heat dissipation. Buy a drive with a heatsink already fitted, or add a low-profile M.2 heatsink so the total height stays under 11.25 mm.

What size SSD is best for the PS5?

1TB is the recommended minimum and 2TB is the sweet spot, balancing price per terabyte with room for big games like GTA 6. The PS5 supports up to 8TB.

Does adding an SSD void the PS5 warranty?

No. Sony designed the M.2 expansion bay for user-installed drives, so fitting one does not void the console warranty, provided you do not damage the console.

Is a Gen5 SSD worth it for the PS5?

No. The PS5 expansion bay runs at PCIe Gen4 speed, so a Gen5 drive runs below its rating with no benefit. A good Gen4 drive is the right choice.
