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 bought a 4TB external hdd and that helped a lot.

    Recently I added 2TB to internal and I’m not too worried about space anymore.

    I spent about US$250 total, buying the drives on sale.

    I like having lots of games on hand bc I don’t always know what I’ll feel like playing.

      Woah that’s amazing prices. I expected to have to pay that much for one 2 TB drive. How do you find these sales? Or did you just get lucky?

        Sales. Keeping an eye on Slick Deals. Black Friday. Clearance.

        As Thomas Jefferson once said (iirc) - the more prepared I am, the luckier I find myself.
