The PS5 needs an M.2 NVMe solid state drive on PCIe Gen 4, fitted with a heatsink, with a sequential read speed of at least 5,500 MB/s and ideally 7,000 or more. It supports capacities up to 8TB. SATA drives and older PCIe Gen 3 NVMe drives do not work, so the spec matters before you buy. Installing a drive in the expansion slot does not void the warranty. This table ranks every PS5 compatible drive we track on Amazon.co.uk by live price per terabyte, with a heatsink badge where one is included. With 2026 game installs growing and storage prices moving often, sorting by price per TB is the quickest way to find the genuine value pick today.

Frequently asked questions

Which SSD is compatible with the PS5?

An M.2 NVMe SSD on PCIe Gen 4 with a heatsink, a read speed of at least 5,500 MB/s, and a capacity up to 8TB. SATA SSDs and PCIe Gen 3 drives are not supported.

Does a PS5 SSD need a heatsink?

Yes. Sony requires a cooling solution. Many drives include a heatsink, or you can add a low profile one. The drive plus cooler must fit the 11.25mm height limit.

What size SSD is best for the PS5?

1TB is a solid first upgrade, 2TB is the comfortable pick for most players, 4TB suits large or shared libraries, and 8TB is for those who never delete games.

Is a Gen 5 SSD worth it for the PS5?

No real benefit. The PS5 slot runs at Gen 4 speed, so a Gen 5 drive just runs slower than its rating. A good Gen 4 drive is the value choice.
