The PS5’s built-in hard drive capacity is 825GB or about 667GB after space occupied by the operating system is deducted. This remaining capacity tends to run out fast for the many gamers who play AAA games that frequently clock in at 200-300GB per game. In response, SONY officially announced M.2 SSDs as compatible expansion options in 2021. As long as the SSD conforms to officially announced expansion specifications, you can install it to enjoy smooth gaming.

If you own a PS5, you will probably run into the problem: "What should I do when system storage runs out?"

Looking at the ADATA LEGEND 960 MAX, it provides excellent game performance and is a superior choice for players whether in terms of storage space, read speed, size, heat dissipation, or other crucial criteria.

1.	Storage Capacity
Although most SSDs on the market possess capacities of less than 1TB, many popular PS5 games take up hundreds of GBs of space. Thus, we recommend 1TB, 2TB, or even 4TB capacity SSDs. In addition, performance differs depending on SSD capacity, with larger capacity SSDs writing faster, in general. You may wish to take real-world needs, pricing, and other conditions into consideration.

2.	Heat Dissipation
The PS5 generates a lot of heat during operation. If there is no cooling mechanism, issues such as system crashes may arise. Therefore, coatings, pads, or heatsinks should be used to improve the efficiency of SSD heat dissipation. Consequently, the system will be maintained at an appropriate operating temperature, thereby reducing performance loss during long-term operation. However, it should be noted that the total height of the SSD including the heatsink cannot exceed 11.25mm, otherwise it will not fit into the expansion slot of the PS5.
