The PlayStation 5’s ability to let you upgrade its storage capacity with after-market solid-state drives (SSD) is truly remarkable and gives gamers more choices to pick a suitable SSD depending on their budget and need. Unlike on the Xbox Series X/S, where Microsoft limits their gamers to proprietary, and expensive, storage expansion cards.
Following up on an earlier shootout between the Seagate FireCuda 530 vs. WD Black SN850 solid-state drives (SSDs), we now have the Gigabyte Aorus Gen4 7000s series, which is Gigabyte’s first SSD that is specifically marketed at the consolegaming sector. Like the Seagate and WD SSDs, the Aorus Gen4 7000s is fully compatible with the PlayStation 5 right out of the box, with a rated read speed of 7,000 MB/s, and dualsided aluminium heatsinks. The install process is the same as with any SSD you would install into the PS5.
What makes the Aorus Gen4 7000s SSD so remarkable is its suggested retail price (SRP). At just $585 for the 2TB version (and the one I’m reviewing here), it’s the most affordable 2TB SSD for the PS5 – heck, even for PC gamers. Comparatively speaking, the Seagate FireCuda 530 is $819. The Gigabyte SSD offers immense savings there!
