PS5 won’t support SSD storage expansion at launch

"If you’ve been paying close attention to PS5 news, this won’t be a big surprise. PlayStation hardware architect Mark Cerny spent several minutes talking up the SSD storage expansion feature as part of his technical preview back in March, but he also said at the time that support was likely to be “a bit past” launch. What’s the holdup? As Cerny explained, not all M.2 SSDs are fast enough to keep up with the PS5, thin enough to fit into the SSD bay, or compatible with Sony’s I/O controller — and Sony promised to do compatibility testing late this year to make sure.
At the very least, Cerny suggested, off-the-shelf SSDs would need to deliver more than 5.5GB/sec of bandwidth over a PCIe Gen4 connection, and not have a giant heatsink so large that they won’t fit into the PS5’s drive bay."

Sony played themselves with that bullshyt. People been asking what M2 to buy every day and they wait until 7 days before launch to say it’s disabled?

 

[daze23]

I don't think a compatible SSD exists yet

I don't think a compatible SSD exists yet

That's the problem.

and when they do drop, it's gonna be expensive.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

more fake concern over SSD space that no one is using up anytime soon.

COD is coming for 200+ off top. Then they want a blank check to fill up your drive for those required updates

 

[YaThreadTrashB!]

This been known


But having such new technology the market ain’t even up to speed




Meanwhile Xbox put in a new cpu and gpu and called it a generation

 

[The Mad Titan]

It's been known halo was delayed too, doesn't stop it from being a hot topic in every thread.


But no SSD support.

Psssh we knew that a long time ago who cares
