The PlayStation 5’s latest update added compatibility for external hard drives and SSDs. When presented with so many options, which can be costly, it’s important to know which storage method is best for you. Thanks to Digital Foundry, we have a good idea of what storage solution you should use if you’ve filled up your PS5’s measly 667 GB of internal storage.
Before we get into any numbers, it’s important to note that all the games that Digital Foundry tested on the PlayStation 5 are PS4 games. While the PS5’s latest firmware update lets users store and play games on external drives, you can only do so with PS4 titles. PS5 games still require the speed of the PS5’s internal SSD to function properly. That being said, you can still store PS5 games on external drives, and moving them back onto the PS5’s internal storage should be much faster than redownloading them or reinstalling them from a disk.

With that out of the way, it’s easy to determine from Digital Foundry’s analysis of PS5 load times that the best storage option available right now is by way of an external SATA SSD. Digital Foundry used a Samsung 870 QVO hooked up to the PS5 by a Sabrent USB to SATA adapter in its testing. That adapter plays a big role here, as it has a large enough bandwidth to let the PS5 perform at maximum capacity.
