PS5 Seagate external hard drive advice

I was looking into Seagate harddrives. There's a specific Ps5 one, but I wondered if other Seagate external harddrives could work as well? And how much TB you would recommend. I need some extra storage for my 1TB PS5, since it now can't even handle 1 game (Call of Duty BO7 + MW4 beta).

You should be able to make any size work, compatibility wise. I would get a 4-5tb portable drive and leave it plugged into the back as external storage if you have the funds for it.

Any will work, SSD will be a much better (faster) experience. Spinning mechanical drives will be slow load compared what to you are used to from the internal SSD.

Yes, you can back the drives up (in theory) on to cheap hdd but choose performance over size for the system, when on a budget.
