Purpose: Calculate the PS5 M.2 SSD capacity you need from library size, game count, future additions and free-space reserve, with live SSD recommendations.
Quick answer: If your PS5 storage screen already shows the size of the library you want to move to M.2, use that number. Add future games, preserve free space, then round up to the next practical 1TB, 2TB, 4TB or 8TB SSD tier.

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.
