PlayStation 5 (PS5) Storage Expansion Guide-NVME Install Tutorial
118One video to cut the confusion around the PS5's expandable storage. Look at Sony's article and why you should shop solely on the minimum requirements, then look at the NVME SSD's on the market currently that will work and which size is the best bang for buck. Why you want to buy and install the heatsink separately (it's way cheaper). Then install a heat sink and NVME on our PS5, and attempt to boot without the beta patch which I recommend you don't participate in even if invited.
