If you're one of the lucky gamers that managed to score a PlayStation 5 in the past year, chances are you're already looking for ways to expand your internal storage with one of the best SSDs. The PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition come standard with an 825GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, of which only 667GB is available to the user. Throw in a few heavyweight games like Spider-Man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition (170GB) and Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War (284GB), and you'll be hurting for extra space.
Luckily, Sony makes it relatively easy (if you're used to upgrading PCs) to install a third-party PCIe 4.0 SSD inside the PlayStation 4 to expand your storage. Be sure to check out our PlayStation 5 SSD guide on installing a third-party SSD. As long as your SSD meets Sony's minimum requirements, the size of your wallet is the limit on how big you want to go with your upgrade. Want to outfit your PS5 with an additional 4TB? By all means, go for it!
However, we're looking at reasonably priced alternatives for customers looking to double up on storage space quickly. That means we have eyes on 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs that already have a heatsink installed (as Sony requires to maintain optimum performance and keep heat levels in check).
Without further ado, here are some of the best 1TB PCI 4.0 SSD deals that we've found that come with a standard heatsink (and one that doesn't) and are compatible with the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Digital Edition.
