This problem has nothing to do with the game developers and they pass the buck directly to the users who have to worry about finding a place in a team.
On PC this is not really a problem, since we can use any of the different storage units we have to install the games we want, regardless of their speed.
However, this is a problem when talking about consoles, such as the PS5, a console whose base version is 1 TB and previous models reach 825 GB.
When expanding the storage space of the PS5we have two options, replace the console or use external hard drives.
The first case is always the recommended option since it allows us to take advantage of the speed offered by the PCIe 4.0 interface while the second reduces speed, although it is the most economical option.
Storage units for PS5
If we want to enjoy maximum speed and space on the PS5, one of the best options that can currently be found on the market is offered by WD Black with the SN850P model compatible with PCIe 4.0.
This storage unit includes a heat sink and is designed exclusively for the PS5 and is available in 1 and 2 TB storage, the latter option being recommended unless the PS5 storage unit has stopped working.

If what we are looking for is to expand the storage space using external disks, we must take into account that the loading times will be higher, but we have the possibility of having a greater number of games installed without having to do so. free up space continuously.
One of the best options we could find is this external hard drive from 4 TB from Seagate, a USB 3.0 hard drive designed specifically for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
