Series S games are 30% smaller in size. At least that's what I read somewhere...That’s not bad, pretty much what I was expecting. Poor Series S though.

Some of us did try to say this in the past. Both my 1tb drives on PC have 931gb and 929gb available when empty. Then throw in the OS as well and yeah here we are.
Dont know why the XSX OS is like 130gb though, when even Windows 10 is currently about 50gb, but they will of certainly allocated space for future OS updates and features.

Apparently you can just plug a regular PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in and it will work. The NVMe SSD needs to have 7GBps read and be certified by Sony. But they have had no details to offer at all on this front. The Samsung 980 should be compatible, but no idea yet.I think it’s cool the XsX has both internal storage and expansion storage. That means I’ll have almost 2 tb when I buy the expansion!
Does ps5 work the same way or are you just replacing the drive like the ps4?
Why are the consoles OS so large compared to full fat windows 10?
Holy hell I forgot about the core edition 360 it gave the Wii a run for it's money with pricingSeries S looking more and more like a 360 Core pack redux.
Okay people, get your heads out of the gutter....
PS4/Pro have Restmode and quick resume where 1 game can be saved, and you can instantly switch between menu and the game. So the PS5 will definitely have this feature.
It would be great if you can turn it off in the settings.
Why is this worthy of a thread? ppl know how HDD/SSD`s work right? u never get the full storage space if it requires an OS
So why advertise a 1 tb drive? I wonder how much space is available on ps5 drive that's false advertising to meThat's after being formatted, OS and reserved space.
For comparison:
Xbox One X is 780GB net usable space
PS5 is 825GB gross total space

But no company does give actual space...It's giving the exact amount of available storage space which I'm sure is of interest to many people. I don't think the OP had console war intentions when posting this.
Series S is 512 and not only 500GB1TB = 930GB
930GB - 802GB = 128GB
If it's the same for Series S:
500GiB = 465GB
465GB - 128GB = 337GB
You have to delete all the preinstalled bloatware like AOL, Mcafee, Mahjong...Why are the consoles OS so large compared to full fat windows 10?
Quick resume takes around 16GB for every state, so that has to be reserved together with OS and a small space just used by the SSDs controller. A 100% full SSD is a bad SSD. This ties into nand MTBF's. The controller makes sure it writes the nands as little and uniformly as possible. With a full drive the controller doesn't have any headroom to acheive that.Why are the consoles OS so large compared to full fat windows 10?
I'm perfectly fine with 800 gigs of storage for my current to play games. You don't need 15 games installed at any given time. ,My pc has 3 ssd's and 2 2tb hdds and I only have like 6 games installed out of over 400 between steam ,epic,ubi and origin.
they are the same price as the samsung ssds for pc. prices will drop for all in the first year. Microsoft should have allowed all manufacturers to make ssds for the XAs long as the Seagate drives remain$220 I'll be uninstalling and reinstalling allot this gen. Bitching and moaning? Maybe perhaps
I'm doing the same for Series X games. It's $300 cdn.As long as the Seagate drives remain$220 I'll be uninstalling and reinstalling allot this gen. Bitching and moaning? Maybe perhaps
But what it has is irrelevant, because you can’t do anything about it. It’s useless information really. It’s in-line with every other console.It's giving the exact amount of available storage space which I'm sure is of interest to many people. I don't think the OP had console war intentions when posting this.
Rumor - PS5 to have 650GB of usable storage
https://segmentnext.com/2020/08/24/playstation-5-ssd-reserves-175gb-for-os-leaving-650gb-for-games-rumor/www.neogaf.com
Agreed. I'm sure after whatever contract Seagate has with MS expires(if ever), some 3rd party will offer cheaper drives. Not the end of the world but who says no to optionsthey are the same price as the samsung ssds for pc. prices will drop for all in the first year. Microsoft should have allowed all manufacturers to make ssds for the X
Guys do we know if quick resume works in always online games? Take Destiny even if you suspend the game it will require you to log back in and it wont be where you left off it takes you back to orbit. And is all that reserved space for quick resume? Can we have option to disable quick resume and have like 150GB more space? I would take that any day
This makes a no brainer for Series X. S will be for the non core gamers who aren't aware of this and of the cost of the SSD extension.So this means Series S may have less than 300GB
No, just like windows does for ages, if Xbox says it has 500 GB free it means 500 GiB. So it really is 802 GiB usable space on the x.Both Xbox and PS report KB as 1000bytes (base 10).
For 1024bytes per KB (KiB to be correct) it is KiB, GiB, etc (base 2).
802GB reported by Xbox is like 747GiB.
PS5 is probably around 700GB / 652GiB.
So why advertise a 1 tb drive? I wonder how much space is available on ps5 drive that's false advertising to me
You are correct, but those units are GiB : )1TB = 930GB
930GB - 802GB = 128GB
If it's the same for Series S:
500GiB = 465GB
465GB - 128GB = 337GB
That's after being formatted, OS and reserved space.
For comparison:
Xbox One X is 780GB net usable space
PS5 is 825GB gross total space
1TB SSD is ~932GB usable.
802GB Free for games, means 130GB is reserved by system.
PS5 has 825GB SSD, so ~768GB should be usable.
You don't know the difference between net usable and gross total?Whether OP meant it to be misleading or not, this isn't an accurate comparison.
PS5 net usable storage will likely be roughly 650-670Gb after format & OS.
Lol wtf kind of maths or logic is this?1TB SSD is ~932GB usable.
802GB Free for games, means 130GB is reserved by system.
PS5 has 825GB SSD, so ~768GB should be usable.
