At launch, the PS5 lacked an expandable storage solution and was heavily criticized for it. Given that many games are now frequently hitting anywhere between 50 and 100 GB in size, this presented Xbox with something of an advantage. Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X|S with proprietary SSD expansion cards built by Seagate that seamlessly expand your console's storage footprint. It wouldn't be until a few months later that Sony caught up, offering players the ability to incorporate practically any high-speed NVME M.2 SSD into the PS5 for storing and running games.

It turns out Sony's solution was absolutely and unequivocally the better choice, but what's the full story?


I still haven't upgraded my PS5 SSD.

That article was hilarious. He went out of his way to make it seem like an impossible task.

I’m still laughing about Windows Central, The Verge, and other paid shill sites pretending like people were gonna break their ps5’s or put the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in there instead of SSD’s or something.

Again, the people that are gonna go out and buy expanded storage for a new console are the people that know how to use YouTube, not your 70 year old grandmothers.

Even this article has a backhanded slant to it

I haven’t added storage expansion on my ps5 or Xbox series x though I’m closer to needing it on the Xbox.

The low cost on additional storage will likely be a benefit going forward, but considering I know how much y’all spent on buying SSDs two years ago this article probably doesn’t mean much outside of stanlyism. :mjlol:

This is a funny thread. Nothing but sony stans speaking for Xbots about storage :laff:

We can stream our games using NO STORAGE. Where is the commentary on that?
I have every game I play on my system and hundres more that I don't but want to play.

I pay less for internet than I ever have before and I have faster speeds than ever before which = I can redownload a full game in minutes thus not having to worry about saving shyt. Do yall nikkaz still pay for prepaid minutes on your cellphones too?
You know, Gamepass will help you broke :wrist: save a couple duckets if having a cheaper storage option is a deal breaker for you :mjlol:
