Quick answer

30 2TB Gen5 SSDs that fit the PS5's requirements are in stock new. Cheapest today: Ediloca SSD 2TB NVMe PCIe 5.0x4 at £239.99 (£120.00/TB), as of 21 October 2026. A Gen5 drive works in a PS5 but runs at the slot's Gen4 speed, so in the console it performs like a fast Gen4 drive.

Rated speeds are for a Gen5 PC. In a PS5 the link is Gen4.

Should you pay for Gen5 at 2TB?

Only if the drive will also be used in a Gen5 PC. For a PS5 alone, compare the cheapest drive here with the cheapest on the main 2TB page: the difference is what the unused Gen5 speed costs you.

Gen5 controllers run warmer than Gen4 ones. Several Gen5 heatsink versions are tall PC coolers that do not fit the bay, and we leave those listings out. A bare Gen5 drive needs a good low-profile heatsink.

Frequently asked questions

Do 2TB Gen5 SSDs work in a PS5?

Yes. They are backward compatible with the PS5's Gen4 slot and run at Gen4 speed there.

What is the cheapest 2TB Gen5 SSD for PS5?

Cheapest today: Ediloca SSD 2TB NVMe PCIe 5.0x4 at £239.99 (£120.00/TB), as of 21 October 2026.

Is a Gen5 SSD faster than Gen4 in a PS5?

No. The slot limits both to a Gen4 link, so games load alike. The Gen5 advantage only appears in a Gen5 PC.

Do Gen5 SSDs overheat in a PS5?

They run warmer than Gen4 drives, though at Gen4 link speed they are not pushed as hard as in a PC. A proper low-profile heatsink is essential, as it is for any drive in the console.
