Q: QuestionWould Samsung - 870 EVO 2TB Internal SSD SATA work for PS5 as an external SSD in an enclosure to save and play PS5 games?

Asked 3 years ago by vjbf23.

• A:Answer You can store and play PS4 games onto this drive as External SSD drive in an enclosure. However, you can ONLY store PS5 games onto the drive and NOT play PS5 games from the drive as External SSD drive. To play PS5 games, you need to copy game data from your USB extended storage or External SSD drive back to your PS5 console's Internal SSD storage. Note: It’s much quicker to copy a PS5 game from USB extended storage or External SSD drive than to re-download the game from the PSN account. This applies with other External HHD's, External SSD's (Internal HHD's and Internal SSD's (This review) in an enclosure - used as an External drives for PS5).

Q: QuestionIs this Sata 2?

Asked 1 year ago by Ranger.

• A:Answer Ranger: The Samsung 870 EVO SSD is designed to work with the SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface, which is the latest and fastest version of the SATA interface. However, it is also backward compatible with SATA II (3 Gb/s) and SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) interfaces. This means you can use the 870 EVO SSD with a SATA II port, but you will not achieve the maximum performance speeds that the SSD is capable of. - Samsung Memory
