One of the perfect SSDs for PS5 is on sale
In recent years, Samsung has been offering storage solutions with spectacular performance. Samsung’s M.2 SSDs have covered all kinds of needs, especially those of the most demanding gamers, and now it could become an ideal solution for PS5.
That’s what we have with SSD 980 Pro from Samsung, an NVMe PCIe Gen 4 model with M.2 form factor that meets the technical specifications required by PS5. In fact, it exceeds them by far, since, if Sony’s demands are those of a reading time of 5,500 MB / s, this Samsung unit offers up to 7,000 MB / s reads.
The offer in question, leaves the 500 GB model at a more than interesting 108 euros
Fits perfectly
In addition, the measurements of this memory comply with the 22 millimeters of maximum width that the unit that is going to be placed in the PS5 slot can have, so you will not have problems in that regard. You just have to remove the housing, unscrew the protection cap and place the unit in the socket.
Two versions on offer
Currently, Amazon is offering a discount of 23% and 18% on the 500 GB and 2 TB models respectively, so you can get a good reduction in the official price of these memories. Remember that the console supports memories of up to 4 TB, so that 2 TB version will be perfect to have plenty of space in your library.
A detail to keep in mind
The only detail that we must take into account is that, according to Sony’s official recommendations, the SSD unit must have a heatsink that is responsible for reducing the temperature generated by the memories, something that this Samsung model lacks completely.
Luckily, there are a lot of options on the market that you can easily place, and you just have to take into account that the maximum height reached by the memory with the heatsink does not exceed 11.25 millimeters, or else it will collide with the lid. console protection.
Not to be confused with the previous range
It is very important that you do not confuse the Samsung SSD 980 Pro with the Samsung SSD 980, since the seconds (those without the Pro tagline) work under PCI Express 3.0, and PS5 requires the version PCI Express 4.0 hence we only include the latest models.
That is the feature that you will have to look at when looking for an M.2 SSD for PS5 (in addition to the width measurements), although you probably will not find any other better offer like the one we bring today.
