PlayStation 5 External Storage
I want to increase the amount of storage available to my PlayStation 5 and was wondering what the best piece of accessory you would recommend to give me the most and highest rating?

In very simple terms, HDD is old technology, SSD is new.
SSD's are much faster than old HDD's, so using an SSD would cut down your loading times of your games compared to a HDD. Your PS5 has an internal SSD as it is, so if you were to add any external storage, I would add an SSD too, otherwise you're slowing down your loading speeds in comparison. HDD will be cheaper, there's no doubt about that, but SSD will give you the same speed to load as your internal SSD disk on your PS5. With me? |

SSD is the only option if you want to install it internally. if you do want that make sure you check out the read write speed, you need it fast if you want to play games direct from it. If you just need storage for game saves etc then yuo can buy an external SSD whcih you can connect via USB. The external are cheaper as storage does not need to be as fast.

Any recommendations because some of them are quite expensive and wouldn’t want to pay a substantial amount of money to find it’s the wrong product plus how does the whole SSD work? Do you just connect it via usb or do you have to open the console up and is it quite easy to do" Sorry for loads of questions
