help Seagate Game Drive for PS5 FAQ
Can I play PS5 games directly from the Seagate Game Drive SSD?
If this is an NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD installed into the internal expansion slot, you can boot and play PS5 games directly from it. However, if it is an external USB drive, PS5 games must be transferred to the internal console storage before playing.
What are the speed requirements for a PS5 expansion drive?
Sony requires internal M.2 SSDs to support PCIe Gen4 with read speeds of 5500 MB/s or faster for optimal performance. The Seagate Game Drive utilizing NVMe PCIe Gen4 technology meets these specific architecture requirements.
Does the 4TB Seagate PS5 SSD need a heatsink?
Yes, Sony highly recommends that any NVMe M.2 SSD installed in the PS5 have a heatsink to prevent thermal throttling. If the Seagate drive does not come with one pre-installed, an affordable third-party heatsink must be attached.
Will using a Seagate expansion drive void my PS5 warranty?
No, installing a compatible NVMe SSD into the designated expansion slot does not void the console's warranty. Sony explicitly designed the PS5 to allow users to upgrade their internal storage to capacities like 4TB.
