The XPG Gammix S70 Blade is a super speedy M.2 SSD with a read speed of 7.4GB/s and write speed of 6.8GB/s.
That’s faster than the PS5’s internal storage.
Practically speaking, those speeds mean that the time it takes to copy game files will be cut down significantly.
There won’t be a massive bump to game performance but you might notice load times not taking quite so long.
Sony was slow to release details on supported PS5 SSDs, and while the console is compatible with M.2 drives, there’s still a checklist of other parameters to meet.
Happily, the XPG Gammit S70 Blade meets all of them — you can find Sony’s official guidelines here.
The XPG Gammit S70 is a fantastic option for your console, and it comes with a heatsink which ticks off another important prerequisite on the list.
