For your money, nothing breathes life into an aging PC like a sold state drive. Faster boots, better load times, speedier installs, that's what an SSD can bring you, and while it used to mean serious damage to the wallet region, it's now common to see them going for a buck a GB or less.

The Best SSD For Your PS4

The Most Balanced SSD

The Fastest SSD

With the PS4 finally supporting external hard drives, you can trade out your clunky old HDD inside for a speedy SSD and load up the games you play the most, even on a smaller SSD. It's a win for everyone.If you want to upgrade both the size and speed of your PS4's storage, the Samsung 840 EVO is your best option. Why? While it's not as speedy as the other drives on this list, it's still significantly faster than the console's mechanical hard drive, and it comes in a 1TB option. So not only are you increasing your load speeds, you're doubling your system's storage.Here's your sweet spot, a perfect mix of price, performance, and size.If you want the absolute fastest SSD around - and you're willing to pay for it - then you want a Samsung Pro Series 850. Currently, you're getting the same dollar per gigabyte whether you choose the 256GB or the 512GB, but if you really want massive space, put down a pre-order on the 1TB model. It's coming in September.
