I’m considering buying some extra storage space for my PS5. Last time I was out of town, my partner tried to play a game and they couldn’t, because I deleted it to make room. They went to download it but it was out of space, so of course they didn’t want to delete anything. That makes me sad because I want to encourage them to use it and game lol.
Plus, I think it would make it easier rather than always downloading and deleting things.

Have other people bought extra storage for PS5? What kind would you recommend?

Do you go for internal or external? Do you have the heat sink if an internal one? Is 4TB enough or overkill? I think I saw that amount somewhere once (unless I imagined it) but maybe 1 or 2 TB is good, and probably easier to find.

    I have a 8tb usb drive attached. Even though PS5 native games only run on internal drive space, you can move currently unused games to and from the external drive instead of deleting it. PS4 games run off of the external drive.

      Do you know how much is the limit for the external drive?

      The problem is also that you can only use it for PlayStation data, that’s why I went with a « small » 2tb one.
