Upgrading to a 4TB SSD for your PS5 might cost less than you think

Right now, the largest SSD you can fit into the PS5 is a 4TB model, which expands your available game storage by a factor of seven (!). These drives are more expensive than 1TB or 2TB options, of course, but prices have dropped significantly. In fact, they might be considerably cheaper than you might expect!

In this mini roundup, we’ll highlight four deals on 4TB SSDs suitable for PS5, including two models with built-in heatsinks for easy installation, and two models that come without at a lower price. We’ve also added prices for the US for context. First up we have the Addlink Addgame A95 which offers top-tier speeds, with up to 7200MB/s reads, and a preinstalled heatsink that fits perfectly in the PS5’s rather shallow PS5 chamber.

This debuted at GBP500, but now costs GBP385 – a good deal for a 4TB drive with this level of performance. Our other top-tier choice is a famously fast SSD, the WD Black SN850x. It’s marginally faster than the A95 and comes from a much better known brand, but it doesn’t include a heatsink and costs around the same amount as the Addlink A95 at GBP379.

If you do need a heatsink, we’ve tested and can recommend this model from Qivynsry for GBP8. The cheapest SSD that we’d recommend for the PS5 is the Crucial P3 Plus, which narrowly misses out on Sony’s 5500MB/s guidlines for sequential speeds but works just fine in a wide range of PS5 titles based on our extensive testing. Again, we recommend this this GBP8 Qivynsry heatsink, but even adding this to the cost you can still take home this 4TB SSD for less than GBP260 – making this drive GBP100 cheaper than other options.

Lastly, we have the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus which comes with this awesome PS5-specific heatsink that replaces the PS5’s NVMe slot cover. This makes it by far the easiest and less fiddly drive to install, although performance isn’t quite as strong as the Addlink A95 or WD SN850x. You do pay for that usability though, with an asking price of GBP430.

If none of the SSDs above tickle your fancy, then feel free to check our list of the best PS5 SSDs which also has more information on the installation procedure and Sony’s requirements for compatible SSDs.
