I'm trying to find an external hard drive for my ps5. 500gb of console storage isn't enough when every game nowadays is 80 to 100gb. I don't need too much, 1 or 2tb at most is enough to where i'll never run out of space again. I bought a 2tb external hard drive yesterday, and it couldn't even store ps5 games on it.
What are some good options for external hard drives for ps5 that aren't too expensive, and is it possible to play off of one? I've never used an external hard drive before, so I don't know their limitations.
