With PCIe gen 4 slots being common on PC motherboards now, and also featuring in the PS5, it’s really easy to take advantage of the tech and upgrade from your old hard drive or SATA SSD and upgrade to something like the Crucial P5 plus, which is down to £93 at retailer CCL Computers right now. The P5 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD is a great piece of kit to upgrade to, as it just slots into the motherboard of your computer or PS5. The P5 Plus has a read/write performance of up to 6600/5000MB/s, meaning it will store and load your games, apps, or your operating system incredibly fast. The P5 Plus can be used in a PS5, but it doesn’t come with a heatsink so we recommend attaching your own as it will live in a confined space, have a read of Digital Foundry’s best PS5 heatsink guide to help.
