“Will this work with the PS5?”

1-2 of 2 Answers

• I will say no based off a YouTube video where someone put in a gen 3 PCIe; the system did not load up and asked for him to remove the PCIe. In addition to needing a gen 4 PCIe, Sony recommends 5,500 mbps. This one has 3,400 mbps. So you'll want not only a gen 4 PCIe, but one that can reach 5,500 mbps. https://youtu.be/Nul_y0nBQ50 Note: screenshot and YT video do not test this specific card, but the result will likely be the same for any gen 3 PCIe

• Hi​​​​​​​ JonB23, Sony added support for external USB hard drives on the PS5 with their April 2021 update. However, due to PS5 restrictions, games can only be played off the console’s internal SSD. As such, external USB storage hard drives only function as a faster way to hot-swap games and data on or off the PS5’s internal storage. -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information
