I finally bought my first PS5. It doesn't have a lot of memory on it, so I'm trying to find a m.2 ssd that will work in a PS5 and doesn't cost $400. Does anyone have a good suggestion, like a good brand or place to get one? Please treat me like I'm five and have no idea what I'm talking about here, because I really don't. I'm just hoping some nice folks on Lemmy will take pity and point me in the right direction.

Samsung SSDs are quite competitive on pricing these days. I saw some on Newegg.ca for under CAD$250 for 2TB which is pretty good.

When you're looking, just keep in mind the requirements from Sony, mainly sizing because it would suck to buy something that doesn't fit. Pay special attention to dimensions if you decide to go with a heatsinked stick.

Thank you! I didn't even think about the heatsink changing the size.
