About this deal

With the performance boost from a WD Green SSD drive for your desktop, you can browse the web, play a game, or simply start your system in a flash. Get up to 20% more power efficiency at maximum speed over the previous generation 3 (1TB model) for an even better overall gaming experience on your portable rig. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Naturally, not all of the drives that we test will make the final cut for our list of Best SSDs for the PS5, but that doesn't mean those drives failed the test, or wouldn't be a great deal if you can catch them on sale. The Solidigm P44 Pro is a great SSD that delivered respectable performance in our PS5 SSD benchmarks, and given the slim difference between the fastest and slowest SSDs on our list, it could make a great drive if the price is right. The only thing we'd try to avoid is any SSD that uses QLC NAND, as those drives can slow down significantly as they're filled to capacity. In our testing, the Addlink A93 performed just as well as more expensive PS5 SSDs. The PS5 read speed test, as well as our copy to and from results, were practically indistinguishable from most other drives. The drive even comes with a heatsink as standard equipment, though we still think the Sabrent PS5 heatsink is a better option overall (since it provides direct airflow access rather than putting the SSD under a cover).

Game Mode 2.0 serves up even more PC performance-boosting features like load prediction to ready game assets for fast in-game loading. Do you absolutely need a heatsink for a PS5 SSD? Sony says yes, and you can easily add your own heatsink to SSDs that aren't marketed specifically for the PS5. You can also use one of the best external drives with the PS5 to store games, but these are only for game storage — you'll need an internal expansion drive to actually play the games. Soup up your gaming experience with extremely low latency that loads graphics fast with minimal stutter and lagging for smooth, satisfying action.Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available from us on request. Get into the match fast as you zoom past load times with blazing speeds of up to 5,150MB/s 1 (1TB and 2TB models). Engineered and built with Western Digital 3D NAND to give you the reliability and endurance needed to sustain pro-level performance.

The Sony PS5 requires an M.2 SSD that communicates over the NVMe protocol. Officially, you'll need a PCIe 4.0 x4 model that can deliver up to 5,500 MBps of sequential read throughput. In practice, you can use slower SSDs, even PCIe 3.0 models, and they'll still work — you'll just get a warning that performance may be inadequate. The console supports 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB and 8TB models.Extremely low latency loads graphics fast with minimal stutter and lagging for an incredibly smooth, satisfying gaming experience.
