External SSDs give your console or PC more room without opening anything up. Plug one in by USB and you have space for a bigger game library, older titles you still go back to, or large installs you'd rather not delete and download again. The drives here are compact solid state models, so they're quick, quiet and easy to move between devices.
On PS5, a USB drive can store PS5 games and play PS4 games directly. On Xbox Series X|S, an external drive can play Xbox One and backward compatible games, while Series X|S games are stored on it and moved back to the console to play. On a PC, it works as straightforward extra storage for games, captures and backups.
Why choose an external SSD?
- Solid state storage with no moving parts
- Portable designs that fit easily in a bag
- 500GB and 1TB capacities for different library sizes
- Extra space for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC
- Full specifications listed on each product page
Which size do I need?
Some big releases now take up more than 100GB on their own, so a 1TB drive suits players who like to keep several large games installed at once. A 500GB drive is a sensible step up for a smaller collection, or for a drive you mainly use for PS4 games and backups. Solid state drives also copy and load faster than older external hard drives, which helps when you're moving games between the drive and your console.
If you'd rather add storage inside your console, our wider digital storage range includes expansion options, and micro SD cards cover Nintendo Switch.
