The Corsair MP600 Pro LPX SSD has emerged as a leading choice for PS5 upgrades, boasting impressive read speeds of up to 7,100MB/s. Its affordability adds to its appeal, with the 1TB version often available for as low as $80, following an initial launch price of $190.
Performance-wise, it features a pre-installed heatsink and a five-year warranty, making it a reliable option for gamers. Meanwhile, the Crucial T500 offers even faster read speeds of 7,300MB/s and can be found for around $60 for the 1TB model, providing a budget-friendly alternative.
For those interested in unique designs, the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus stands out with a distinctive heatsink that improves cooling. The 1TB version is priced at approximately $110, while larger capacities range from $220 to $280.
Despite these options, external drives like the Samsung T7, which offers lower performance at 1,050MB/s, cannot run PS5 games directly but can still be used for storage.
