The PS5 has an M.2 slot for storage upgrades, so we decided to see just how good it can perform.
Sony recently released a software upgrade that activates the M.2 slot on the PlayStation 5, letting you increase the storage capacity so you can have more games installed on it at any given time. That’s a good thing, as game install sizes are approaching 100GB and the PS5 has under 900GB built-in usable space. The process for upgrading is quite easy – you just need to pop off the white covers from your PS5 and then unscrew the bay that holds the M.2 drive. Before you even decide to do this upgrade, there are two things to consider. Your M.2 drive needs to have speeds that match or exceed Sony’s minimum 5500MB/s recommendation.
