Those who own a PS5 and are looking for a high-performance NVMe SSD with large storage capacity can turn to the 1 TB Samsung 980 Pro, the price of which goes from 220 euros to 114 euros on Amazon.
Not all SSDs are suitable for the PS5. Among those who have their place in the bowels of this next-gen console, there is the Samsung 980 Pro, which offers high speeds and which even incorporates a thermal controller to limit overheating. Currently, its 1TB version sees its price halvedwhich makes it even more recommendable.
The Samsung 980 Pro SSD in a nutshell
- Speeds of up to 7000 MB/s
- A large amount of storage
- A thermal controller present in the SSD
Initially displayed at 220 euros, the 1 TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD is now offered at 114 euros on Amazon.
To use it with a PS5, we recommend that you pair it to a heatsink like this. Moreover, you can update its firmware from PC with Samsung Magician before installing it in your PS5 to ensure better performance.
An ideal SSD for the PS5
The Samsung 980 Pro SSD is particularly suitable for Sony’s next-gen console, the PS5, since it meets the main criteria to be associated with it: first, it is indeed a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, and its transfer speed is more than sufficient: the Japanese firm imposes speeds of at least 5,500 MB/s for correct operation, while Samsung’s SSD offers no less than 7,000 MB/s in reading, and 5,100 MB/s write.
Installing this SSD, which takes the form of a RAM strip, on PS5 is a little more complex than installing an expansion card on Xbox, but this article will explain how to do it step by step. Once the manipulation is done, you will have 1 TB of storage (while the console natively offers a storage space of 667 GB), which will allow you to save more games on your console, or even applications or software if you want to install the SSD on a PC.
A responsive SSD
Integrated into your PS5 or your PC, the Samsung 980 Pro SSD will be able to reduce the loading times of your games or applications, but also to speed up the launches of your machine. Another good point: this SSD contains a thermal controller to maintain performance and a stable temperature in your device. The risk of overheating will thus be considerably limited, which is rather practical when you know that SSDs deliver high performance.
