Zero Complaints About More PS5 Storage!
If you use a Playstation 5 console, then this is basically a no-brainer type of purchase. Unless you’ve got a new PS5 Pro that comes with 2TB of storage, chances are that your regular Playstation 5, be it disc or discless, does not have enough built-in storage to handle most of your games, especially as sizes grow larger. The Crucial P310 2TB SSD is the solution. It, well, adds 2TB to your storage. It’s important to note that on the PS5 it’s ADDITIONAL storage to the internal storage that your Playstation already comes with. And it’s also important to know that ONLY an SSD like this one can play Playstation 5 games. Playstation 4 games can be played from this SSD or any USB external drive, but PS5 games are only playable from an internal SSD. It’s also worth noting that this comes with its own heatsink. Playstation doesn’t require but highly suggests that you install an SSD that comes with its own heatsink. This is your one stop solution! While the drive itself does not come with instructions, it is easy to pull up a video and just as easy to actually install it. You simply remove the cover from the side of the PS5, unscrew the SSD cover plate (easily identifiable as it has the Playstation buttons etched on it), remove the SSD screw, place the drive inside, insert the SSD screw, insert the cover plate, put the console cover back on and you’re done! Upon turning the PS5 back on you’ll find it detects the drive instantly, formats it, and you’re good to go. The only other thing I did was adjust the settings so new PS5 downloads go to the Crucial P310 2TB SSD. And, like that, I’ve now got 3 TB of storage (1TB internal, 2TB from this SSD) to play my PS5 games on. No more worrying about what to keep saved, what to remove, and what to redownload. There’s space for them all! The packaging claims the drive has read speeds up to 7100MB/s. The Playstation itself clocked the read speed at 6312MB/s. I think that the higher end may be specific towards a computer scenario. Regardless, I’ve not noticed any differences in downloading, launching, loading, and playing any games on this SSD from the normal internal Playstation storage. And that’s a good thing, as I had no issues with the regular storage apart from lack of more of it. In essence, once this is installed there’s nothing to think about – you’ve got more storage that acts just as good as the Playstation does on its own! I honestly have zero complaints about this SSD. I went from wondering if I’d need to remove one game to install another to not having to think about that scenario for a long, long time. And, as I mentioned, you don’t even know it’s there aside from having all the space for all your games. If you’re looking to add on storage to your Playstation 5 you can stop the search, the Crucial P310 2TB SSD is perfect for your PS5 and the perfect amount of added space!

Increase Your PS5 Storage
This is the best upgrade/accessory you can buy for your PlayStation 5. The installation is simple and once you set it you can forget it as it works seamlessly with your PlayStation. Installation is simple and I recommend watching a tutorial on Crucial, PlayStation also has a how to add a M.2 SSD support page, or a YouTube video. Unplug your PlayStation and remove all other cables, remove the right side panel (awkward down and out press), you will find a rectangles for M.2 drive. Remove the Phillips screw, install the SSD, replace the screw to secure, replace the cover and plug your system back in. Your physical install is done. That simple! Next you will turn on your PlayStation which will automatically format your new drive. Then you can change how the PlayStation utilizes its storage and will allow you to select if you want new downloads to go to your existing PlayStation drive or your newly installed SSD. You can also move games between your two drives which is awesome when you need more room for a game. It took my PlayStation less than 5 minutes to move a 100+ GB game (call of duty) to my new hard drive. You can also remove the drive and install it into other PlayStations which is great as a back up solution or if you like to use more than one ps5. The 2TB of storage is good I honestly recommend purchasing as much storage as you can as PlayStation games are typically hundreds, a gigabytes each. You can get the P310 in 4 TB, 2 TB or 1 TB models. I went middle of the road with the 2 TB version. The most important feature of this SSD is that it has a built-in heating not all m.2 SSDs come with built-in heatsink as some are designed to be in computers, which is most often the case and you have to purchase an additional heatsink attachment to help with efficiency for your PlayStation. The next important thing is speed the read speed is 7,200 MB/s and a 6,000 MB/s write speed. Both of the speeds are high, and you will be pleasantly surprised if you are coming from any form of HDD storage. If you’re looking for storage for your PlayStation that you don’t have to worry about the P310 should be your go to. Once you install this drive (which is easy), you really won’t have to think about it again no chords no messing with existing storage on your device just plug and play. You also don’t have to worry about performance as this comes with built in heatsink and speeds that will match your performance of your PlayStation.

A necessary PS5 upgrade!
As time goes by video games are improving along with the consoles however, most of the time the memory included in the consoles is not always enough and it is necessary to increase it as video games increase their size in memory. This Crucial P310 2TB memory is a great option for these cases as it has a very high read and write speed which allows games to load faster, it is easy to install and has a heat sink for better performance. In the box comes only the memory and documentation. The heat sink is not necessary to install as it is already installed, it is only a matter of installing the memory in the console or a PC. Once the SSD memory is installed in the console it is necessary to follow the instructions on how to format the memory after this step it will be ready to use. Regarding performance, it is definitely one of the indispensable improvements if you have a PS5, the amount of memory available is enough for AAA games or your favorite ones. The most visible improvement is the loading screen, the loading time has decreased and everything feels more fluid. The fact that the memory has a heat sink, helps a lot to keep the memory at a temperature that allows it to operate without problem. Considering the features of this Crucial SSD M.2 2TB memory and its price, I consider it a pretty good option if you want to increase your PS5 storage. It's a product with balance in its value for money, no doubt I can highly recommend it.
