One thing you can never have too much of is storage. The way games, movies, music and videos gobble up disk space, extra storage is always welcome and it’s incredibly affordable compared to even a few years ago.

One area where the demand for data storage is gaming. The increasingly graphic-rich and complex games made for consoles can take up a lot of disk space. You can always store them on a removable SSD but if you want to play the game off that SSD, it needs to be fast storage that can keep up with the gaming action.

SanDisk has launched a new SSD aimed at giving gamers more storage, faster transfer speeds and greater protection so they can securely carry their games when going round to a friend’s house or taking their gaming library to college.

To meet the demands of gaming’s high-fidelity visuals and ultra-performance needs, SanDisk created a variation of its SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD to provide PlayStation enthusiasts with plenty of extra storage space to hold their entire library of games. The new drive is officially licensed and with a portable form factor that’s made to match a PlayStation.

Take Back Time

With enhanced read speeds up to 1000MB/s, gamers can transfer games quickly from their external SSD archive to their PlayStation 5’s internal storage.

Thanks to the extra space more storage provides, gamers can expand their space for the size of the newest and greatest PlayStation 5 titles, enabling them to store more games without the hassle or fuss of having to delete old titles that they want to play again.

For playing PlayStation PC games only, players can even store their entire game library directly on the new SanDisk Extreme Portable and play the games directly off the high-speed SSD when it’s connected to the PC.

With its IP65 rating, the SSD can shrug off water splashes and split drink, sas well as withstanding a drop from a height of up to three meters; helpful if the gameplay should become a little too enthusiastic.

Pricing and Availability:

The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD for PlayStation 5 Console and PC is available now in 1TB and 2TB capacities priced at $129.99 / £101.99 and $199.99 / £150.99 respectively from shop.sandisk.com and also available from Amazon.
