PS5: Current beta update turns off memory expansion - These SSDs are compatible

The first SSD is the Seagate Firecuda 530 NVME , which will be delivered in the coming month. The Country Manager of Seagate confirmed the compatibility yesterday and shared a few information.

"We performed with Sony some tests with the PlayStation 5 and can confirm today that the Firecuda 530 has fulfilled all PS5 requirements with the heat sink. In PS5 design, the SSD card slot is very narrow, so not much space for mounting the SSD is available. With the Firecuda 530, however - even with the heat sink on the top - the slim design allows you to fit into. Of course, the Firecuda 530 is still slimmer without the heat sink, so both fit into the PS5. "

The Seagate SSD will be available in four variants at the following prices (among other things on Alternate):

  • 500 GB (119.90 euros)
  • 1 Terabyte (239.90 euros)
  • 2 Terabyte (499,00 Euro)
  • 4 Terabyte (939,00 Euro)

For all four variants, a heat sink is included, which is required for effective heat dissipation. As you see, the SSD will be cheap for the upcoming market launch anything.

Another SSD was confirmed in the course of today. The WD_BLACK SN850 NVME SSD by Western Digital also meets the requirements for PS5 compatibility.

This confirmed a press spokesman of the company to VGC: "Based on the requirements published by Sony, we can confirm that our WD_BLACK SN850 NVME SSD with heat sink (500GB - 2TB) meets the requirements for expanding the console storage on the PlayStation 5 for those who have access have to beta software. Compatibility tests are in progress. "

On the other hand, the SSD of Western Digital is cheaper. On Amazon this drive is offered at the following prices:

  • 86,90 Euro (500 GB)
  • 155,90 Euro (1 TB)
  • 345,00 Euro (2 TB)

A detailed guide on how to install and expand the SSDs, can be found on the official PlayStation page.

Differences according to insomniac barely noticeable

In addition, Mike Fitzgerald from Insomniac Games reported. According to his assertion, the speed of a M.2 SSD is hardly different from the internal PS5 drive. The developer is excited and assumes that betaphase will lead to many tests with different games. At Insomniac, "Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart" has already carried out first tests that have led to acceptable results.
