Mark Cerny reveals which SSD cards he personally uses for the PS5

After an update that allows PS5 users to extend their storage using the SSD M.2 location. Although there is no formally recommended SSD card by Sony, the PS5 Mark Cerny architect, finally announced on Twitter which SSD card he uses. The PS5 user base has been left to determine which SSD card best suits each individual, which is not ideal for those who are not particularly savvy in technology or who simply do not have the will to look for what they need. Mark Cerny has fortunately chosen to remedy this, and in a message on Twitter, he revealed which card SSD his home currently uses, and it is the range of SSD NVME WD Black SN850 of Western Digital . It should be noted that Cerny himself has chosen the version of the thermal sink cards, which should contribute to the longevity of the SSD card and the cooling of the PS5.

PS5: Here is the list of compatible certified first SSDs

Not surprisingly, the first to have passed the finish line are the leaders of the hard disk market, namely Seagate firms (which also provides the storage extensions of the Xbox Series X), and Western Digital (abbreviated WD ) At Western Digital, so the SSD SN 850 is guaranteed to work with the PS5 , whether it's the version with or without thermal sink.
