The PS5 console only has 678GB available space, which requires an alternative storage device for more game installations and upgrades. SSD is a great choice for excellent overall performance and reasonable price. However, you should format SSD to exFAT or FAT32 before using it as the external storage device of the PS5.

This article will guide you on how to format the SSD on either computer or PS5 console in detail. Back up your value files and data before proceeding with the format operation.
