    FULL Current PS5 Compatible SSDs to Upgrade Your Storage nascompares.com/2021/08/03/re...
    With the PS5 receiving a new update (currently in Beta at time of writing) one of the biggest and most requested features that has now finally been enabled is the M.2 NVMe SSD upgrade slot. It's been more than half a year since the launch of the PS5 and one of the biggest complaints from users (aside from stock levels being painfully low) is that the storage available in the default model is rather small. This new update and the ability to add additional storage has been met with mixed responses, as it has now become clear to many SSD buyers that the type of storage required for PS5 is much more advanced in architecture than the SATA hard drives and SSDs of previous generations. This, combined with an increased understanding on subjects like PCIe connectivity, Heatsinks and wrapping their heads why this new SSD tech is more expensive has certainly led to a fair share of raised voices! I have already discussed why I think PS5 using PCIe Gen 4 x4 M.2 NVMe SSDs is a very good thing previously, but today I want to help you choose the right SSD for your PS5.

      How could you not.. we all experience loading times for like ever! It all get worser and worser over the years, the tech is a true revolution in our systems, finally not half of the cpu and memory speed get wasted on waiting on the HDD to move its arm, wait for the disc to be in position and read 4 bytes.. and then move the arm to another location, wait, wait, wait and finally load a bit of more data..
      Ssd’s be like just ask me the data you want😎 then it will keep throwing the data you asked for without any delay, their might be some useless data loaded because ssd’s read complete blocks of data instead of a small part you actually needed.. this results in loading big blocks for a lot of small files, which can be solved by ordering the files the right way..

    There are so many videos on CZcams about this subject, but you are the first person to definitely say yes use a heatsink on your SSD. I don't have a PS5, but I do use a M.2 drive for my PC. I did buy a full enclosure heatsink for my SSD, but I haven't used it because people go back and forth about heatsinks. It's either yes use one, or no don't use one, or even just only use a heatsink on the controller chip only. After watching this I'm going to install my full enclosure heatsink on my SSD and enjoy the benefits of the improved temps.

    The question I would still like answered is are the NVMe models that come with a heatsink going to both fit inside the PS5 and be sufficient to cool those drives OR do you still recommend buying on separately?
    I’ve got my eye on Seagate’s Firecuda with Heatsink and I certainly hope that’s good enough because it seems to smash every other metric that matters.

I figure it should be a no brainer. But I forget that some people don’t take apart & build PCs or repair consoles like myself. But for the PC people most Motherboards come with SSD heatsinks already attached to them. For people with a PS5 that want to upgrade, please listen to him. Not only will your performance suffer & throttle. But you can also do damage to your SSD shortening it’s lifespan/endurance. Keep up the great work. Love the vids.✌🏻

    A word of caution about the MHQJRH heatsink. I have installed this heatsink on a Firecuda 530 in my PS5, and it almost completely blocks the 2 exhaust vents on the side of the drive bay. If you use this heatsink you may want to leave the cover off or drill some holes in the cover to allow the hot air to escape.

    Sony's head of thermal design for PS5 said to keep the ssd bay cover on because of the two vents that help the fan remove hot air via negative pressure. Their chief engineer is definitely more of an authority on this issue than you. Please buy a heatsink that allows the cover to be screwed back on and disregard what this guy said.

      For me, I just move any PS5 games I'm not actively playing to my external HDD, thus making room for more internal storage but not needing to re-download it if i want to play it again. If I want to play it again I just transfer the games from my HDD back to my internal storage and the process is much faster than having to re-download everything. This way I'll never have an issue with running out of internal storage.
