NVMe SSDs are gradually seeing their price drop and this is good news especially for PS5 owners. Currently, the Crucial SSD with 1 TB of storage is at 109.99 euros against 172.79 euros.
An NVMe-type SSD appears to be an obvious solution to overcome the PS5’s lack of storage. Today, the time is right to invest in it since one of Crucial’s most efficient and cheapest models, the P5 Plus, is currently available with more than 60 euros discount in its 1 TB version. The latter fulfills Sony’s requirements well, offering fairly high playback speeds and good storage capacity to boost your PS5.
The main thing to remember about this SSD
- It offers speeds of up to 6,600 MB/s
- It offers a storage amount of 1TB
- PS5 and PC compatible with PCIe 4.0 port
Instead of a price crossed out at 172.79 euros, the Crucial P5 Plus SSD with 1 TB of storage drops to only 109.99 euros on Amazon. This is currently the lowest price found on the site. Besides, consider taking a heat sink to maximize performance.
An ideal SSD for gamers on PS5
What makes this SSD a good deal is that it has all the specs to suit the PlayStation 5. It’s a PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD that offers internal transfer speeds of 6,600MB/s read , and 5,000 MB/s write speed. Which is more than enough, because Sony recommends at least a read speed of at least 5500 MB/s. The only downside is that it is not equipped with a heat dissipation system… Without this cooling structure, the console will quickly overheat, so it will have to be taken separately. Note that it still has adaptive thermal protection.
It will be very useful to bring more storage to your console, which is quite limited in space, thanks to its substantial storage capacity of 1 TB. As for the installation, you will need to equip yourself with a Phillips screwdriver, be delicate and s be patient.

But also those on PC
Of course this NVMe SSD also works well on a PC. Its format is highly appreciated for its practicality and ease of installation on a PC. Unlike conventional SSDs, you simply have to connect it using the PCI Express ports on the motherboard, once the PC is powered off.
With the transfer speeds mentioned above, this SSD will both boost the performance of your PC and speed up the loading times of PC games. And thanks to Microsoft’s DirectStorage solution, this SSD will benefit from several advantages, namely: speeding up and even eliminating the loading times of PC games. This API allows data to be sent directly to the NVMe SSD to the graphics card, skipping the processor and thus taking advantage of the speeds allowed by the PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 4.0 protocols, depending on the system.
