You can upgrade the PS5 Pro with up to 8 TBs of storage, but the official SSD might be more expensive than the console

One of the many upgrades of the PS5 Pro in comparison to the standard PS5 is its larger SSD internal storage, reaching 2 TB of capacity. However, for many, it may still be insufficient, since if two or three “live service” are installed- like Fortnite, Genshin Impact, or even Call of Duty -and a few more titles that exceed the 100 GB installation, the 2 TB - from which we must subtract the space for the console’s operating system - runs out quickly. Although to avoid installing and uninstalling games - with their ever-increasing patches - we always have the option of expanding the internal storage.

Thankfully, the brand specialized in storage and memory, Western Digital, has the most advanced officially licensed solution on the market, although at a prohibitive price.

This is the SSD unit that is more expensive than PS5 Pro

The WD_BLACK SN850P NVMe SSD by Western Digital with an official PlayStation license is offered in sizes of 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, and 8 TB, this last one being the model with the most capacity. However, currently going for a price of $1,029.99, it actually costs way much more than a PS5 Pro at launch. These internal SSD drives reach speeds of 7,200 MB/s and are fully compatible with all PS5 models. Its installation is really simple, since it is only necessary to detach the PS5 side casing and adjust the SSD unit in slot M.2 inside the PlayStation console, without fear of losing the warranty.

Yeah… maybe stick to a smaller storage upgrade for now.
