What’s the go to SSD to buy now? I’ve won 6 games and I’d like to play them without having to uninstall everything else to free up space, Far Cry 6 is installing right now and that’s coming up at 94GB lol.

As robj20 said SN850 the most safe bet ATM.

 

[DIABLO]

Ill have to look that up. In other news, fancied playing ME Andromeda just to see how bad it is but under my library it now shows as a trial download not the full game. Can't recall if we got it on plus or if I paid for it but either way seems odd.

It might have been patched out by now but the saw mill was you could go in a roof hatch and sit on a piece of machinery and kill them all out of reach. And the town near train you could enter one of the closest buildings (could have been a bar) and the entrance closes behind you and you can sit on the roof of the porch and kill almost all of them.

Can vouch for the SN850. Installed one last week and it’s as fast as the internal drive, possibly even slightly faster.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

Not unless you want to mess about transferring PS5 games to the internal/expansion SSD from the USB drive to actually play them. If you're a single or less than 5-6 game player a USB might work for you.

Yes, I probably wasn't clear enough. I intend to use an external drive to store games that I might play again as it should save me having to download them again. I suppose it will depend on the transfer speed.

I don't think I would bother with an SSD as the internal storage should be enough to store the half dozen games that I'm likely to need at any given time.

Anybody seen this? Looks fantastic

 

[Mucky_Pup]

SN850 is a safe bet.

Cheers, have ordered one. Have so many games, even PS4 games, that I am yet to fully play; so being able to install them and leave them there and change between them will be a big help.

Isn't a USB3.0 external drive a solution to save having to get into heatsinks and the like?

You can get most of the recommended ones with heatsinks already installed.

I went the AORUS 7000s 2TB route - nice heatsink pre-installed so I didn't have to worry about that.
The PS5 has twice speed tested the drive giving me 6560 on both occasions - it's been solid as a rock since mid September.

Is PS Plus worth getting if I've no interest in online gaming?

 

[robj20]

Is PS Plus worth getting if I've no interest in online gaming?

Not in my opinion. I got it initially for the free games such as God Of War, but once it runs out I won't be bothering with it.

 

[DIABLO]

Is PS Plus worth getting if I've no interest in online gaming?

Yes for me especially when they well it for £25-35 at least 3-4 times a year. Plus i can't be bothered with backing up my saves onto a USB stick in case my console dies.

 

[Plainsong]

Yeah for £35 ish a year it’s a no brainer with the discounts, monthly games, ps+ collection etc.

 

[fez]

Just paid £23 for PS+ for the year. Can't argue with that. I'm used to paying over half that for the utter ***** that is Nintendo online so I don't mind that fee. Will play some of they games they give away as well.

Really comes down to luck, if you like the games offered you did ok, if not then it may be a waste. The games you do like may have been cheaper to buy than the sub too.

 

[TheVoice]

It's a no-brainer to me, even if you were particularly unlucky and only got a few games in a year that were appealing to you, you've still at least broken even. Then there's the PS+ discounts and the PS+ Collection for PS5 owners.

where from?

 

[fez]

where from?

Was an offer directly from Playstation I believe. Unfortunately I think its been stopped now.

ah poo, nevermind.

 

[chrcoluk]

Sounds like a very short lived offer, I hate flash sales, I had an email informing me circa £50 will be taken from my card in January, I may cancel and wait for an offer. Feels horrific value compared to GPU.
