Anyone using external storage via USB for their PS4 games on the PS5?

I've been using this enclosure:

https://www.amazon.sg/TDBT-Enclosure-Thermal-Cooling-External/dp/B07TJT6W8K

With a 1TB WD blue SN550, enclosure is connected to the PS5 via USB-C port.

Bought both during the black Friday and cyber Monday sales

So far it mostly works, still have occasional crashes. After some experiments, it's seems to be less stable when there is some background transfer, eg. some PS5 game update. Another issue is there tends to be more instability when using "rest mode" vs just a shut down.

If people are interested, there is quite a lot of discussions on this in forums here:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/best-external-storage-for-ps4-games-on-ps5.320953/

and a more general discussion on these NVME SSD enclosures:

https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/stable-nvme-usb-adapter.2572973/?view=date

Generally, game loading is fast using such an enclosure vs external HDD, almost as fast as when the game is installed on the PS5's internal storage.

Been using 2.5" sata SSD and usb 3 enclosure to store the PS4 game, so far no crash issue and the loading speed is as expected much faster than my previous PS4 pro running on firecuda sshd.

Their new series usually launches in a couple of months time.

So at this timing, they should be selling their current series much cheaper, then they still price 48" more expensive than 55"? Hahahahaha

Looks like SATA SSDs are definitely more stable for the PS5. Probably due to the controllers being more mature. Going with an enclosure using NVME SSD is more risky as its still early days for these controllers, but they are fast, especially coupled with a USB3.2 gen2 port running at 10Gb/s. There are 3 more popular ones on the market at the moment and it seems the ASM2362 tends to work better with the PS5.

48 inch will always be more ex than 55. New series will debut at CES earlier in the year and only launch in stores June to August.

Can share the details?

Search for “48cx” on carousell and contact the seller of the first listing you see.
For the $300 MS voucher, need to buy by tomorrow as the preorder period is 18-20 Dec. Need to go down to the shop to make full payment also.
