The PS5 can be extended with an internal SSD memory shortly. The long-awaited feature is already in the test phase **. With the publication of the relevant firmware is sometimes expected in August.
Marc Cerny recommends WD Black Sn850
After the speedy provision of memory expansion has been confirmed, many players the question arises which SSD model should buy them. Sony and manufacturers have been confirmed several compatible specimens in recent days. His personal tip left Sony's hardware architect Marc Cerny on Twitter.
He himself swears on the WD_BLACK SN850 NVME SSD from Western Digital and has expanded its own PS5 with this hardware. "Our solution for our very active PS5 household with two players?", Says Cerny in his Twitter post. There are "a few great options for 7000MB / s", but he opted for the model mentioned:

The SSD extensions are not favorable, which also applies to the model favored by Cerny. The 500-GB model costs around 160 euros , the 1-TB model about 280 Euro and the 2-TB model just under 500 euros - each including heatsink. The prices of the models without heatsink are clearly below. Here you would need to tinker with modules ** a little.
Given the fact that Cerny advocates the WD_BLACK SN850 NVME SSD by Western Digital more or less, it seems that PS5 owners who want to expand the SSD of their console can not really do something wrong with this variant. Nevertheless, it is likely to be worthwhile to wait and see the one or the other hardware test, which SSD model is best harmonized with the PlayStation 5. Another compatible model is, for example, the Seagate FireCuda 530 PCIe Gen4 NVME SSD.
