Purpose: Check a PS5 SSD for PCIe NVMe interface, capacity, M.2 length, read speed, heatsink and physical fit, then compare current compatible SSDs.
Quick answer: For the clearest path, start with a PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD between 250GB and 8TB, add an effective cooling structure, confirm the assembly fits the PS5 bay, and treat 5,500 MB/s as Sony’s recommended sequential-read target rather than the only compatibility test.

Scope note: Compatibility uses interface, capacity, M.2 size, cooling and physical-fit requirements. The 5,500 MB/s figure is treated as a recommended sequential-read target, not the only compatibility test.
