Does it work on the Ps5 null

Yes and no. It uses ex-FAT which is universally read by most motherboards as an external device. The "no" is if Sony changes the PlayStation line-up motherboards to NOT read ex-FAT drives. You will also need to check if the PS5 has USB-A 3.0 ports. This will get you the highest speeds possible to run your games more smoothly. I'd recommend this drive given the max NVMe SSD is ~4 TB for the same cost. Yes NVMe will be faster but this is 7x the drive speed. I use mine for a media server and have zero performance problems.

Since the device uses EX-FAT it should work, but the PS5 will limit what you use the drive for as PS5 games are designed to use Direct from SSD to GPU texture loading.
