I used 512GB Sata SSD via usb3 for a long time. It was only for PS4 games and it was fine, but from time to time PS5 would give me database errors so it was annoying.

Bought 1TB NVME and it's great.

I’m nearly running out of space on my stock PS5. Don’t think I’ve had it a month.

What are folks doing to extend storage?
It's simple for me: I play a game until I’ve completed it, then I delete it and install a new one. The advantages are that I don’t feel overwhelmed by too many games and don’t have trouble deciding what to play. It also ‘forces’ me, in a positive way, to keep playing and finish a game before starting something new.

I got 1 TB SSD Segate Firecuda installed on my launch PS5. Often required to delete games in order to install new ones.
Considering getting 2TB SSD for PS5 Pro to total of 4TB storage.

Got a 1TB NVME SSD installed and a 5TB external HD. The Pro will come with 2TB of internal memory, so I wont need to upgrade any futher for now. I have plenty of games installed at once to get that Netflix of gaming library fix, but I'll be getting a 4TB NVME next gen for the PS6.
I actually like this idea. I may invest now so I can have that netflixs feeling. Thanks
 
2tb external SSD drive but some games are just not worth their space in the drive. Anything that I'm not actively playing that is 100gb+ is deleted. I always keep a couch co-op and smaller single-player games installed in case of PSN not working for some reason or for a quick gaming session in the living room.

The whole internal SSD crap is pretty stupid. It is the most obnoxious thing about the console.

I guess I will throw a backup drive on it.
 
I currently have 3TB total internally. I put PS Studios exclusives on the built in SSD and everything else on a 2TB WD Black SSD.

I may need to upgrade to a few more at some point. I have so many games lol.

I wish some heatsink info would come out already. Anyone see anything on the slim heatsinks being compatible?

I've a 1TB nvme SSD in my current PS5 which I'll be moving over to my PS5 Pro once it arrives. 3TB of storage is more than enough for my needs.

I almost filled the default storage once. I deleted some installed games and saves. I also noticed I had 3GB of the the stupid pictures the systems takes every time you get a trophy. Deleted those too. My internet is fast enough that even big games only take about 90 minutes to download so it doesn't bother me too much.

I'll also note, I keep a few simple games installed always like Galaga, Ms. Pac Man, Doom 1 and 2, and Quake 1 and 2. These total less than 10GB. I focus on one 'big' game at a time and delete it when I'm through.
