Quick answer

A 1TB PS5 SSD roughly doubles a base console's usable space and is the cheapest way in. It holds about 13 big games at an average of 75GB each, so it suits players who keep a tight rotation and reinstall as needed. Watch the price per terabyte: 1TB often costs more per TB than 2TB, so a small step up can be better value.

Who a 1TB PS5 SSD suits

1TB is the entry tier. It is the right pick if you play a handful of games at a time, do not mind redownloading or reinstalling occasionally, and want the lowest outright price for a compliant Gen4 drive with a heatsink.

It is a tight fit for the GTA 6 era. A single 150GB-plus game would take a sixth of a 1TB drive or more, so heavy players or anyone keeping a broad library installed will fill it quickly and should look at 2TB.

Is 1TB the right size?

Choose 1TB if

  • You play a small rotation of games at a time.
  • You want the lowest outright price for a compliant drive.
  • You are happy to reinstall titles now and then.

Consider 2TB instead if

  • You want GTA 6 plus a library installed together.
  • You dislike managing storage and reinstalling.
  • The 2TB price per terabyte is close to 1TB.

1TB and price per terabyte

Because 1TB drives frequently carry a higher price per terabyte than 2TB, the table below sorts by GBP/TB so you can see whether the cheapest 1TB is genuinely better value than a 2TB drive that costs only a little more.

Works, but below Sony's 5,500 MB/s recommendation

These are PCIe Gen4 M.2 drives the PS5 will accept, but their stated read speed is between 4,000 and 5,499 MB/s, under the figure Sony recommends. They are listed separately and never count toward the ranking or the best-price figure above. See PS5 SSD requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1TB enough for a PS5?

It works if you keep a small rotation of games and reinstall as needed. Heavy players or big libraries will fill it quickly, and a single 150GB-plus game would take a sixth of it or more; 2TB is the more comfortable choice.

How many games fit on a 1TB PS5 SSD?

About 13 at an average of 75GB per big game, or many smaller titles. Some games exceed 100GB each, so space goes fast.

Does a 1TB PS5 SSD still need a heatsink and Gen4?

Yes. The requirements are the same at every capacity: M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4, a heatsink, and a read speed of at least 5,500 MB/s.

Is 1TB or 2TB better value for a PS5?

Compare the price per terabyte. 2TB is often cheaper per TB and lasts longer, so the small extra outlay usually pays off. The table sorts by GBP/TB so you can see today's gap.
