Before you go and comment the obvious things: yes I know SSDs are expensive and for some games the difference isn't as huge, for me loading times are important

Not only that, I am fully aware PS5 will be out end of the year.

So my question: anyone upgraded their internal drive for their PS4 pro with an SSD? Which brand? What would you recommend?

And for external? Anyone went for a (quite expensive) external SSD? Experiences and suggestions?


I always used an external Seagate PS4 game drive. I had nothing but issues with it (when it works, it works... But when booting the PS4 I have to constantly unplug it again and plug in a couple of times before it would work.

Brands I have been eyeing after my research: obvious Samsung Evo 860 and Crucial MX500.

External Drives I am considering Samsung T5 or 7 (I own a T5 for gaming laptop and I am satisfied) or the WD My Passport drive (I'd go for a 4TB then for ultimate storage, even if it's a HDD).
