cusideabelincoln Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I'd definitely recommend a slightly slower SSD + PS5 heatsink than get a faster SSD without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This already isn't the fastest. Also, https://www.amazon.com/MHQJRH-heatsink-Double-Sided-Thermal-Silicone/dp/B07KDDKDNN/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=m2+heatsink&qid=1671726739&sprefix=m2+heat%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-3 The only cheaper one that I'm aware of that's PS5 compatible is the Crucial P3 Plus, which just barely meets the minimum spec for PS5 and is only a $20-25 difference - the performance bump of the P5 Plus is well worth that. This is the better buy, even with $10 for a heatsink (you'd need a heatsink for the P3 Plus too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 That's what I was saying. No need to spend more than the P5 if you don't get a heatsink, because the faster drive will thermal throttle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, if someone wants to spend an extra ~$1 because they like bundles: https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Plus-PCIe-NAND-6600MB/dp/B09YZ57GBB/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1D2GJU07JTHRY&keywords=p5%2Bplus&qid=1671727636&sprefix=p5%2Bplus%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-3&th=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
