![]() ![]() Unless you’re rolling in cash and want to flex, 4TB models should mostly be avoided, as you’ll end up paying more per gigabyte than you would with a 1TB or 2TB drive. If you have the money, 2TB drives sometimes offer marginal savings per gigabyte, and can often be found when other models are out of stock. (Seagate’s official 1TB Xbox Series expansion card, for comparison, sells for $220.) That will more than double the space you have available for games without breaking the bank. 500GB drives, coming in at around $80 to $140, are a decent bet, but the sweet spot for most is to opt for a 1TB drive, which should run you between $160 and $250. Economically, 250GB drives aren’t that much cheaper than 500GB ones, and practically, that really isn’t a lot of space for modern games to live on. ![]() Off the bat, there's basically no point in going for a 250GB drive. Keeping games around on the off-chance you’ll want to play them at some point makes sense. At my old home, a 100GB download took me around eight hours, during which time it was difficult to simultaneously watch Twitch or, say, publish articles about upgrading PS5 SSDs. If you live in an area with slow broadband, the “you can just download it again” rationale doesn’t really work out. One additional thing to consider is your internet speed. If you’re not a CoD fan, though, chances are you’ll be good to store between six to 10 games on your PS5 internally before running into problems. In other words, a full Call of Duty install will take up almost one-third of the PS5’s internal storage. If you’re a fan of the Call of Duty series, installing Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 will require more than 200GB. PS5 games are a little smaller on average than their PS4 equivalents, typically taking up between 30GB and 100GB, with some notable (and very popular) exceptions. If you’re buying an SSD with a new PS5, or buying for someone else, though, it’s more difficult to tell. If you already own a PlayStation 5, chances are you have a reasonable idea of how much storage you need for your game library. The PS5 will accept drives between 250GB and 4TB in capacity.
