ps5 ssd PS5 NVMe

[TatamiMatt]

Looking for the best 2TB PS5 M.2 storage. Im looking at the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus currently as im looking at the heatsink bundled for £129, are there any other suggestions or recommendations or anything i should know about buying an NVMe for PS5s?

 

(UK based if that helps for prices,  probably evident with the £ but thought id mention anyway)

I wouldn't go with the Sabrent Rocket, and don't bother thinking about heatsinks as they don't really matter that much.

 

WD SN850x Black , recently increased in price but might come back down soon again. Or at least I hope so.

 

Another solid option is the Samsung 990 PRO 130$ for 2 TB

 

These are about the fastest you can get

I wouldn't touch the 990 Pro personally after the firmware issues causing early failures.  At the very least you'd need to make sure the firmware is updated on a PC first as you never know how old the stock may be.

Define "best"? Best performance? Best value?

 

SN850X was a popular early drive but it feels power crept by newer releases. I got the 1TB in my PS5.

 

990 Pro if you can catch it on sale is a maybe. The with heatsink price is quite a lot more than bare otherwise. Also the older 980 Pro is still a safe choice at the right price.

 

Kingston Fury Renegade is another higher end option at the right price.

Best price to performance while still being amongst the top end of performers, should have clarified that.

Yeah, kinda guessed that. Any of the ones I mentioned should be fine, but it depends on what pricing is from day to day.

I did find a cheap used drive from a professional refurbishment retailer in the uk for £82, 2TB SN850X
