Crucial P5 Plus works with PS5™

Compatible with PlayStation 5 when used with a heatsink.

 

Crucial Technical Recommendations

• Crucial recommends using thermal putty to adhere the heatsink to the P5 Plus for the best user experience.
• If thermal putty options are not available, we recommend heatsinks that offer silicon bands.
• We don’t recommend heatsinks that use metal clips. The metal clip could potentially touch sensitive points on the PCB and short the exposed JTAG pads.

Sony Technical Requirement

• Sony requires a M.2 SSD to perform at 5,000 MB/s or higher in sequential reads. The Crucial P5 Plus has a read speed of 6,600 MB/s and exceeds Sony requirements.
• Sony requires the heatsink to be no more than 88 mm in height to ensure that both the SSD and the heatsink fit in the SSD slot.

FAQ’s

Question: What P5 Plus capacity do you recommend?

Question: Will attaching a heatsink to my Crucial P5 Plus or installing it in my PS5 affect my warranty.
Answer: No, as long as you make sure to attach the heatsink to the label on top of your P5 Plus and NOT to the bottom label that reads “Removing this label will void warranty”, your Crucial P5 Plus warranty will not be voided by the heatsink or by installation in your PS5. For more information about your PlayStation 5 warranty, please consult Sony’s warranty terms.
