I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my PS5's internal storage. I currently have a 1TB PS5, but it's almost full, especially with GTA 6 coming out soon. I want to install a larger internal SSD to handle that and a few other games. I'm considering getting a 2TB SSD—would that be sufficient? I've found a few options: the WD Black SN850p for around £674, the WD Black SN850x for about £254, and the Samsung 990 Pro for around £277, all with heatsinks. Is there a significant difference in performance or ease of installation among these? I'm located in the UK, so any relevant advice would be appreciated. Thanks a lot!

I'd recommend researching each SSD individually; there are plenty of comparisons online. If you just want a solid gaming experience and don’t want to overspend, the SN850x is a great choice since it's cheaper but still very fast. Don't feel pressured to go for the most expensive one!
All those SSDs you're looking at are pretty fast and similar in performance, so you won't see much difference in speed. The heatsink is mainly for PC use; for the PS5, it's not as crucial. Installation-wise, they're all straightforward to set up, so you should be fine with any of them.
