The PS5 * has 825 gigabytes of memory. Only 667 gigabytes of this can be used for games and apps. After a few installations, the console will already reach its limits. Thanks to a system update for the PS5 in the spring, owners can now also save their PS5 games on external hard drives. Previously, this was only possible with PS4 titles.

The disadvantage of the external hard drive, however, is that PS5 games can be buffered on it, but direct playback is not possible.

This is only possible with internally built-in SSDs for the PS5.

Even so, it's way better than having to download it every time.

In addition, PS4 games can be played directly from the external PS5 hard drive, so this definitely saves space on the console itself.

We'll reveal in the following section which external hard drives are good for the PS5
