“Will this work on the PS5?”

1-3 of 3 Answers

• The code that comes with the SSD is for pc, and wont be redeemable on PS5. As for the SSD, it may work, but it probably wont as the rated speed for the WD_BLACK SN750 is 3,750 MB/S when the PS5 requires an SSD with a speed of 5,500 MB/S. If you want to get an SSD that meets that requirement you can get the WD_Black SN850, which is more expensive but is rated for 7,000 MB/S

  I would recommend:

  • 
    WD - BLACK SN850 1TB Internal Gaming SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe

• I just posted my review and the short answer is YES! You need to buy a separate heat sink but the SSD works great in my PS5.

• Hi Tule​​​​​​​, 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
