If you’re not comfortable opening your PS5 to install a new SSD, there is another option – an external solid-state drive. External SSDs can be a convenient way to store and access your media and files, but keep in mind that you can’t play PS5 games from an external drive. However, if you want to keep a library of games on hand for quick access, it takes less time to copy a game from an SSD than it does to download it from the PlayStation Store.
One of our favourite portable drives for the PS5 is the Samsung T7. It can write files at a speedy 1,000 MB/s and comes with a shock-resistant enclosure to protect the drive from physical damage. If you plan to use the SSD exclusively for storing games, you can save some money by choosing the standard model instead of the Shield variant, which has a ruggedized exterior for extra protection. Either way, the Samsung T7 is a reliable and convenient choice for expanding your PS5’s storage.
