Testing on different ps5s isn't good testing. You should test all of them in one machine.
I agree. I very much like the video, but in terms of keeping all controls as equal as possible, I'd have done the same machine, with the same cool down time between trials, and check the internet speed before each download as needed. That said, by the time I would have finished, Kylie Jenner would have become president lol.
Downloading from the internet to test a SSD is the dumbest thing I've seen on youtube in years anyway
@@Jasonsadventures but doesn't it reflect real world situations, you buy a game and want to DL it?
@@Jasonsadventures I was completely confused on this too lmao đ€Ł it all comes down to internet connection and will be throttled. Most people don't even have 1Gb internet connections
@@ValentinoB No, the ps5 does have wifi 6 ,but if you don't have more than 1Gb internet connection. An SSD with 5000MB or more speeds won't even matter.
Where it does come into play is when copying or moving files from one SSD to the next. Any m.2 these days is overkill TBH. What's a few seconds when moving a game or 2 . đ€Ł
I used the Wd black sn850 since the day the sd drive was unlocked and Iâve had zero problems so far
your results have likely been skewed by caching. your playstation has already cached the data and your first tested drives will be significantly slower than your last tested drives, because as you repeat the transfer more the console will cache more.
!!!!
Could you explain?
@@MoodyDudey pretty sure you donât need a better explanation than that. Itâs a no brainer
@@trilliedon8728 yeah my bad, I didnât even watch the video yet đ
@@MoodyDudey there are steps to clearing your consoles cache
I bought myself the 2 TB Corsair MP600 PRO during the prime day sale on Amazon for 122 Euros. The read speed is 7100 Mbps and the write is 6800 Mbps. I couldn't be happier with its performance.
I formatted the drive 3 times to test its consistency. With each format, the speed just increased in its read speed. Started with 630 Mbps on the first format and 6500 Mpbs on the third format.
Even if the write speed is UPTO 7100 Mbps, I think the PS5 reads it in a different way. No matter which drive you buy, with read speed over 6500 Mbps, the PS5 will read them between 6000 Mbps - 6500 Mbps.
I moved all my games to the nvme drive and so far I haven't had any issues with downloading the games or running them off the nvme drive whatsoever.
In my opinion, corsair is the best option to go for. It is cheaper than the others and offers comparatively better Read/Write speeds.
I have the Corsair MP600 Pro too. It works fine.
Here's a few things that would help your testing. First of all, ignore the download speeds. That can vary significantly due to your ISP's and Sony's CDN traffic. Second, ignore the disc install speed. Blu-ray read speeds are significantly slower than what these NVME drives are capable of doing. For the actual testing, you should use larger games for the transfer test, run it multiple times for each drive, and then show the results for both transferring to and from the drive. Doing it this way should help prevent any background system processes from throwing off the results too much.
Another thing if a drive is Fuller it writes slower that's why when he wrote it back to the internal storage it went so much slower
A cheaper M.2 gen 4 NVME drive that I used that worked very well was a Inland Performance 2 TB just make sure you get the Gen 4 version, it is almost as fast as a Sabrant rocket 2 TB drive I have. I got both during an Amazon sale.
Would it of killed you to make a super simple excel spreadsheet with all of the respective drives/speeds/prices?đ€Šââ

I bought the FireCuda 530 1TB last March for $190. Now it is $140. I love it. I have it set up so any PS5 games download to the internal storage and PS4 games download to the 530. Your video was done very well. My only suggestion would be to do each test 3 times per drive, throw out the longest time and average the other 2. Good video, well done.
I got the firecuda 530 4tb and I love it. Just like you all my ps4 games are on it and the main ps5 games I am playing on console storage with all the rest being on the SSD. I almost have the entire 4 TB SSD full to 70% which I will not go past due to recommendations. It works so fast and so good. Worth every cent.
Hey is it still running well? Iâm thinking about getting the 4tb version
@@NahidsJunk I have had mine in for almost a year and have not had any drama.
@@NahidsJunk
Don't worry firecuda is a very dependable ssd. 4TB is enough for more than 100 games. If you are that extreme take it. I just play every once in a while and the 2TB is really not enough. Some games takes huge space over 120 GB and much more. Not to mention the special edition games.
Same I just bought it for 130 the one terabyte one and seeing as I donât have one and thatâs my first one it does pretty well and I can definitely save an extra amount of games and I donât have to keep re-deleting games to download another one
Thanks for putting in the effort to make this video.
For future videos, I would like to see more visual representation (e.g., results, drive names) on screen. It is extra work, but I think it would make the video more coherent. Max Tech (a Macbook youtube channel) have good examples how to do performance comparison vids, imo.
This video is 1 year too late. Everyone know the Firecuda is king. The 980 is best bang per bucks.
I have the firecuda HD in my ps4 and it's the only one that has never crashed and burned. Love Seagate. I use the Iron wolf HDs in my home nas. Nothing but the best.
Wdblack
Agreed.
I purchased a 4TB Barracuda 530 for my gaming laptop. And 2TB Barracuda 530 for my PS5. These SSD drives are beasts!
Right now the Corsair is best bang for buck. Cheaper than the Samsung.
Was the firmware updated for any of the drives? Can effect speeds
Nothing beat 0.1 second that faster there is
Just got a 2tb Samsung Evo 980 Pro. It's incredible. It's full already, but it's incredible.
I buy too many games.
Great video sir. From someone who didnt understand how these things work you thoroughly explained it well.
Crucial P3 Plus is going to give you the most space for the money. P5 Plus is great too, and faster, for a little more money.
Whats the speed on it I seen ppl saying only 5000 mb
I just use the internal space, itâs good enough. Holds about 10 games or so, then I delete and add games as I beat them or no longer want to play them.
When Using Sonya Benchmark to test SSD drives speeds, They uses a different method to test and how the Read/Write speeds of the drive installed. So when compared to the numbers most companies advertise, Sony benchmark shows lower speeds and easily can fall below their Requirement, even though the advertised speeds online look to be enough. Not sure what sonys benchmark is based off but its differnt the the PC markets testing methodology. Most should look into it, for sure.
I have the Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 2TB and transferring over my 400GB worth of games from console to the NVMe took less than 20 minutes. I encountered no issues. You probably had a lemon unit to test with on video.
Firecuda 530 2TB not only faster but has vastly better durability stats
Would the firecuda 530 one tb just as good as your recommendation? Or is the size of tb make a different besides that it has more space?
Bought the Corsair and the thing has been fantastic. Performed far better than what you experienced. Also you shouldâve tested on the same ps5. Perhaps hardwiring them as well to get solid and accurate info.
I might buy it myself tell me more
thank you for this post. i just ordered the corsair last week and this video scared me about it
â@@BHigh-qd4sv i bought it 2 weeks ago, something's wrong with the guy in the videos ps5 or internet, the corsair is great, other videos and people i know would also agree considering they tested it.
â@@-TerryBogard dont worry, its actually really good, something's up with the dude's playstation
@@dylanargall6039 I've had it for over a week and playing all PS4 games off it. So far it's great. I don't see ANY difference between it and the system drive.
I'll be buying the larger size of this make when this one's full
Hey buddy, where did you get your TV stand?
I came up on one of your videos by total accident while looking for something I think it was unrelated to the actual topic that you end up talking about but anyway my point is I enjoyed that video so much that I am giving you all the thumbs up I'm subscribing and you just make really good content man even though I wasn't 100% sure what the content was about at first I think I get the hang of it now and I'm also obsessed with you PlayStation and I just got a PS5 so I'm all in good job keep doing what you doing it's always work
Do you have to turn off or turn on the ssd that is installed inside your PS5 and do you have to turn them off before you shut your PS5 off
You should do a download and transfer back-and-forth between console and hard drive and internal drive and get those times because people who have external hard drive can load their PS five games on it but will need to reinstall them onto the PS five to be able to play them but what is the transfer speed from getting the game from the console to the internal drive
Got the 2 TB Corsair mp600 and have had no issues I couldn't even tell anything was different
I have the Corsair MP600 Pro Gen4 and it's fast and works perfect in my PS5 with no issues
same and i did a lot of researched before i got it..
Same here. No issues at all with the Corsair.
I order the same on Friday. Arriving today Monday. Just saw this video and wondered if I should just return it unopened.
Seeemd must others are having a good experience, but for the cheap price there may be an occasional dud and he got one.
Reading the comments I think I'll try it still.
@@jonmobrien use it ~ it's great!
So you recommend the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB? This is what I bought. I havenât installed it into PS5 yet and I paid $280 CDN but Firecuda was sold out. Should I keep this one or exchange ?
I recommend buying a 2tb internal SSD and a 2tb external SSD for all your ps4 games and extra backup for ps5 games. Moving games back and forth is so quick and convenient.
I am trying to upgrade my external drive to another. How can I keep my games and data on the original external drive?
Had the same issue it was thermal throttling some I got the fire CUDA instead works great
Download testing depends on more than only your internet speed.
One game can go faster than another. GTA V (90GB) was done in 15 minutes, it went just over 100 MB/S while the CoD update went at about 80. I have a 1 gb/s internet speed. I've got it wired.
If you really want to test a download on different consoles, do it wired, same game and not at the same time.
Transfer GTA to the SSD was Fast af, i have the WD Black SN850X 2TB.
After putting in a new drive should I transfer all my console storage to it?
The slow speed could be from the SLC cache filling up on the drive
What kind of internet do you have though?
Ugh. Seagates are the only drives I've had that fail. Like, no worky, stop loading everything, break my PC level failures.
I have 3 years insurance on my ps5, what options does that leave me, I'd imagine I'd would void insurance if I used an internal one
depends on your situation or sure. If waiting a little bit to transfer games from an External 550mb/s SATA SSD, than id go for a 2GB for $75-80. If you are playing alot of games and dont want to wait, and have the extra money. Than I hoped you grabbed an NVME M.2 one from Black Friday since the 1TB are back up to $120-140. Thats 1/2 the storage of a SATA SSD and usually half the cost. Than thirdly, if you have a big PS4 Library Id get like a 4TB SSD since PS$ games dont really benefit from the NVME speeds. There is a million reasons why an how they should upgrade their PS5 storage and its all relative to their reasons and financial situations.
Personally, Im using a 2TB SSD Drive I had before the PS5 even launched for my extra storage at the moment. I just bought a 10$ USB 3.2 Gen 1 Enclosure online for it so it works as an external.
I dont play more than a few games at a time and have 25+ games and 1000+ photos from Gran turismo Sport and GT7. Still room to spare.
Ill get an 2TB NVME once PCI 5x Comes out and drops these PCI 4x ones down like crazy. 2.5' SATA SSDs and HDD Disk drives have hit there price walls these last 2 years and wont get any cheaper no matter how far into the future we go.
i love the tv stand, post a link to that!!! lol
I bought the 2 TB Western Digital Black sn850 SSD because one of the main engineers of the PS5 recommended it. I have had a Seagate HDD corrupt itself on my first PS4 and gaming laptop that I'm actively avoiding them forever.
I have the Samsung 980 Pro 2tb and it's great. Highly recommend. I liked it so much on my PS5 I bought another one for my PC.
Nothing beats the 4TB Firecuda!
Very true.
It even beats your wallet! $600 more for that 1 second faster gamer speed đ„
I won't even look up the cost
You need to test against same size drives since bigger drive have higher speeds
I currently have a Seagate Game Drive M.2, 1tb that i bought for my PS5 ($157 w/ tax). 7300 MBPS read and 6000 MBPS write speed. Ive had it in my PS5 for a few weeks (PS5 is only about 3-4 weeks old anyways) and so far I'm happy with it. I dont plan on buying many games for my PS5 currently, maybe 10 max, but i dont want to be having to delete files like i did on the PS4 to do updates or play new games. If i need more space, then I'll probably just get a 2 or even a 4 TB ssd for it. I dont think that will happen, but being the PS5 has had many things to slow its sales like the microchip shortage as well as just Covid in general, game development probably hasnt gone into full swing yet. Personally the peak gaming for me was during PS3 as i have probably over 100 games for it while ps4 has something like 25 tops. So far i have 2 games for my PS5 and one on the way.
Can you watch movies directly from the external drive?
I have the corsair for the last 2 months, no issues, read speed of 6538 mb/s. The box was a different than the one you have and it's ps5 compatible. Must have a defective one.
No issues for me either, the box for mine was black and yellow.
I have corsair 4TB no problem so far. Got it from egg website and 5 year warranty from corsair website with proof of receipt ..
Yup! Works absolutely great for me as well đŻđâ
I just installed the 1tb one in mine, same speed, works fine.
good video, the only issue I saw is that some of the drives were 2tb and some were 1tb. lower capacity ssd's have lower amount of dram cache percentages. also the overall speeds are slower aswell. it would have been better if you used only 1tb drives.
You should test load times while in games at the same spot with all drives guys.
Glad I waited to buy my Firecuda. The prices are very reasonable now.
Did you try the NEXTORAGE SSD, 2TB?
Man I really need a upgrade for my PS5 Iâm almost out of storage memory and I donât know which one to go for when it comes to the hard drive
Is there a threshold on how fast the ps5 can transfer compared to the ss, being the ssd is more capable than the ps5?
I have a Sabrent Rocket 4tb ssd in mine. A fantastic wee drive
Just pulled the trigger on the 4TB FireCuda for my PS5 đ
If you have a usd ssd same speed as the ssd at go inside playstation will it work to play games off
Yes I did go with the 2TB Fire Cuda & it did not disappoint!!!
this video would have been perfect if you did some sort of spec overlay showing the time comparisons.
Whatâs your opinion on the Corsair LPX now. This is the only place on the internet I. O hills find that this issue appears. Was it a dud? Thanks for your time!
So once transferred to the ssd does the ps5 read directly from there or does the game need to be moved back to internal storage to play? Does it save game progress to the ssd as well?
Games are read from the "extra" SSD. Copying or moving is not needed in any way.
Different situation, if you connect an external USB HDD then yes, the system allows to "archive" PS5 games there but you'll need to swap them back into the console to play them.
It literally just took me 15 seconds to transfer Ghost Wire Tokyo to my Corsair MP600.
I bought the corsair 2tb for $130 and works great for me even found a vented ssd cover
I've had my PS5 since a month after launch, and in all that time, I never once had an issue with storage. I have an extremely fast Internet connection, so, when I do download a game, it takes less than 15 minutes to download 95% of all games.
I'm kinda in the same park. I mean I do understand people who want to install a 1TB SSD because they have big games and play many back to back or if they share the console.
But then some guys come and install 2 or even 4 terabytes and I'm like WTF dude, I live in a country where internet service is not specially amazing and almost any game take less than half an hour to download, most under 20 minutes.
@@AlejandroLZuvic yea sweet. And when the PS5 store goes down and you canât download your games anymore like soon on ps3 or the 3ds maybe youâll figure it out.
@@HuhWhatHuhwhatHuh It's pretty obvious every PS game from the PS4 onwards will be backwards compatible with future PS consoles. So you will be able to download PS5 games. The time of exotic architecture in consoles is over.
Couldn't you have took an external drive to archive games then transfer them back to the internal sdd to do this rather than download off the internet?
A real test between drives would be how hot and the life span.......
_The ads edited into that data transfer speed countdown caught me by surprise, the anxiety almost made me skip đ_
I use a 4tb wd_black external for all my PS4 games since they play from external and plan on a 2tb WD_black internal SSD for PS5 stuff.
I didn't even know what an ssd was before this video, now I can teach a class.
Iâve had a Samsung 980 pro for awhile now and Iâve only just started using it again because before my ps5 wouldnât read the speed past 6000mb. I reformatted it and the speed I got was 5765mb and an article i read as long as the speed is above the minimum requirement there shouldnât be no problem and Iâve been playing resident evil 4 on it and Iâm not having any issues. Have you any suggestions why i canât the actual speeds it says on the box and do you think Iâm ok using it still? As I said itâs working fine so far and the article said long as the speed is above the minimum requirement it should work fine
the one test that i would have wanted to see the most was game booting
Can you play next gen games on the external SSD drives? And also have that fast load up speed or do you have to transfer all the games to the internal?
You can move ps5 games to an external drive but they still have to be on the internal main or secondary to be playable, ps4 games will work fine on an external.
You have to be on either the internal or expanded nvme for PS5 games and then an external can be used for ps4
These corsair mp600 ssd's are known to have the phison e-16 memory controllers on them. If you buy an ssd for any internal drive either for ps5 or PC make sure it has a phison e-18 controller and check what the iops are on the drive as well.
so i just bought that damn corsair mp600 and now i am scared that i bought the wrong ssd đ€Šđœââïž how would i check if it had phison e-16 controller ? also what is that đ
@@Krazywizard301 and the controller is what handles the transfer of files from the memory on the m.2 to the PS5 in simple terms the E-16 is slower than the E-18 which could be why this model suffered as the controller was being pushed to hard or it could be a bad m.2 that he got.
I think if itâs the LPX version that means itâs the E-18 controller.
@@Krazywizard301 you should be. You might have to wait 4 seconds longer to move a game.
I love my fircuda got a 4tb and still have plenty of space left. Worth the extra cash
Internet is a factor also need to consider that . Just by switching to cable instead of wifi conection it incresed by alot download speed.
Corsair MP600 Pro LPX is the best bang for the buck.
Great đ video but I would liked if he would created a chart on every hard drive performance
I still have not gotten any update with folders. What's the deal with this? They only giving it to people who pay for their dang service or something?
Basically trying to figure out of it's just my internet or if my sdd is straight trash. Lol
Untill recently the speeds listed are for gen 4 pcs. They run lil slower on ps5 but aslong as ur getting 5k plus ur fine. The 980 pro and 850x is the best bang but fire is good now that the price has dropped. It used to be way to much.
I'm looking for that firecuda on Black Friday
Thanks for the video!! I literally just found the 2TB Firecuda for $240 on sale! and I just got a PS5 too! SUPER excited to check out Sony's next-gen gaming!!!
I run the Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD 2TB in both of my PS5's its super quick and bulletproof.
I got my fire cuda at Walmart for $130. Itâs been awesome
Samsung 980 pro 2tb has been amazing ps5 showed 6500 read speed and on pc showed 6800 read and 5000write speed (with 5th updated firmware which i did out the box new)
it doesn't matter which of these SSD M.2 you go with at the end of the day what really matters when gaming is LOADING TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
merry Christmas dude
Would like to see a comparison to the Kingston kc3000 2tb
Need to look at the micro center performance plus line. 7000 read 6850 write. My 2tb is actually faster than it's rating in my pc.
Aclimator brand m.2 drive I have writes at 7,200 gigs. When moving games back and forth it's significantly faster than the built in ps5 storage
Oddly my ps5 seems to load faster than all my friends but none of us run the extra storage. Any idea why?
I have the PNY XLR8 CS3140 2TB and itâs awesome 7,500 Read & 6,850 Write
I think I'm gonna buy the Forbidden West drive as it's the cheapest option and im really just mostly looking for some extra storage
Try a sabrent drive I wanna know specifics on that
Anybody else get a commercial when he did that countdown?
I've been using the Firecuda for about 6 months and have had 0 issues đ
Speed good?
@@VWayyyyyyyy the speed is really good
Just ordered my Firecuda Monday
Cause it's the ps5 thats writing to the drive the ssd can handle something that writes up to 7000mbs so no matter what drive u use it's guna be basically the same
I got the 980 and will try to return it to get the FireCuda. Let see
Okay to sum it up what is the best?
after all my testing the 850 2tb was the best even over the firecuda
I was gnna get firecuda 530 4tb anyways been looking at it for a long while
