Yeah sorry - a SSD internal drive not an external one

So I got a 2TB Seagate Firecuda 530 - can be had for around 200-220 these days (I spent 300) - but looking on ebuyer there can be better deals available (I see the WD Black SN850X is like 150, or 145 on amazon, for the 2TB version).

The SN850x is a beast of a ssd, got 2 in my PC, I might pick another up for my PS5

Awesome - will look to get one!

Are they easy to install? Looks like they just click in?

Generally yes, loads of YouTube guides available. Only fiddly bit is removing replacing a small screw within which are poor quality and easy to damage with a screwdriver so that they can’t be put back in when removed.

Hi all - looking at potentially getting a 1TB expansion HD. Any recommendations for which?

As long as it has a heatsink you're golden mate, I got a 2tb drive and it's amazing, all my games on it and don't have to worry about deleting anything, no difference in speed/performance.

I got this one (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09T2WNKNZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but was on sale for about £80.

You just slide the ps5 cover off, unscrew the little door and then slide the stick in, put the holding screw in place and then close and screw down the door, can be done in about 45 seconds.

Picked up the WD Black - very happy and very easy to install!

Might pick another up for the PC!
