We reveal the best PS5 external hard drives, both SSD and HDD.
Here's another good option if you want a stack of storage for a decent price and don't object to the slower speeds of an HDD. It's one of the most popular external hard drives out there, comes in a range of capacities from 1TB to 5TB, all at reasonable prices.Hard disk drives and solid-state drives are both storage devices that can be used to safely hold a large volume of digital data. An HDD is an older form of technology that uses a mechanical spinning drive to store and read data.
An SSD, meanwhile, uses interconnected flash-memory chips to store its data. This makes them faster and more reliable than HDDs, as there are fewer moving parts. SSDs run fast enough that you can download games at lightning speed, and even run them directly off a PS5's internal SSD . They're the fastest, most capable choice for the majority of PS5 owners.
But don't count HDDs out completely. As you might have guessed, they're a cheaper option than an SSD. In terms of storage capacity, an HDD gives you a lot more bang for your buck, and if storing your library somewhere accessible is a higher priority than being able to load things in a flash and play them instantly, an HDD might well be the more cost-effective choice.
Overall, an SSD is almost certainly going to be the better choice for PS5 users, as it's just a faster and more efficient way to handle the large volumes of data that gaming involves. But if you need a lot of storage on the cheap, an HDD might be the way to go.Daily design news, reviews, how-tos and more, as picked by the editors.
