Yes. 3 total storage locations on PS5. Internal SSD, M.2 SSD, and external USB. Users can choose where to install games.Which begs the question if you can use the expansion bay and an external drive. PS5 doesn't allow you to connect two externals. I've got a 4TB for cold storage for PS5 games and an active 4TB drive for PS4 games.
There are some fighting games that i wont delete because i play once a week a least.Honest question for those looking into expanding the storage: do you swap between games a lot? Or do you just like having there, in case you want to play them?
I'm someone who only plays one game at a time, finishes it, and plays something else. I'll delete as I go along.
It should ask you per install, on both XSX and PS5 it is a bit messy (moving over to external HDD does not work if you turn the TV off for me and unless you force all downloads to occur on the secondary drive you need to finish the install and move after).Yes. 3 total storage locations on PS5.

it also looks killer, and in this world names and symbols, appearances rule, such is divine rule.of course WD. They have a commercial agreement.
WD also sells "GAME DRIVES" for years which are just normal usb drives
The great chain of being is a hierarchical structure of all matter and life, thought by medieval Christianity to have been decreed by God. The chain begins with God and descends through angels, humans, animals, and plants, to minerals.[1][2][3]
The Great Chain of Being (Latin: scala naturae, "Ladder of Being") is a concept derived from Plato, Aristotle (in his Historia Animalium), Plotinus and Proclus.[4] Further developed during the Middle Ages, it reached full expression in early modern Neoplatonism.[5][6]
I think even 2 TB of local storage to by quickly, even though devs are now seemingly trying to optimise for storage more. I do have a 5 TB regular HDD connected to the PS5 as cold backup, but I would like to have a bit more big games on the device. 2 TB SSD is way too much at that price, but 1 + 0.825 TB is close enough. The drive should match PS5’s internal and then some.It usually goes on offer at various places for £180, it's what I ended up getting mine for. I can see them reducing it to that permanently to be honest. A years premium at £220, then price match on the storage albeit not performance matched. I'm just wondering if an SN850 is really worth the extra, 1.2TB should be enough on the PS5 I think so a 500GB model makes more sense and is just over £100 here.

It's kinda bad the HVD, Holographic Versatile Disc, seems to have failed. That stuff was rumored to hold 1TB, and once scaled in R form would likely cost like 10 cents per disc. The only real issue was limited bandwidth, but it could have served as a nice physical backup solution.I think even 2 TB of local storage to by quickly, even though devs are now seemingly trying to optimise for storage more.

This is smart. I was thinking of doing the same, I'll only be using PS5 strictly for the exclusives, so an entire 1.2TB should be plenty for that purpose.1.2TB should be enough on the PS5 I think so a 500GB model makes more sense and is just over £100 here.

Case closed. The father of the PS5 has spoken.

Long load times are obsolete with next-gen PCIe® Gen4 technology. Arm your system with RGB lighting, an optional heatsink model, and up to 2TB1 capacity.shop.westerndigital.com

A guy with the beta firmware tested the same WD SN850 heatsink model as Knack Daddy went with.
PS5 read it at 6.5 GB/s, which is plenty fast enough. And its fits niiiice and tiiight inside the thicc bitch.
it also looks killer, and in this world names and symbols, appearances rule, such is divine rule.
Beauty and the perfect go hand in hand. And all aims towards perfection.

I dont know where you guys live, but here in Portugal I can get them from Amazon for about 170 euros. Already have 2 of them on my PC.not too bad, 250 for 1TB for this drive...if its good enough for Cerny, i'm gonna go with that one
think that one just adding more reasons at a fundamental level why they have such agreements and exist in place where they do, good design, the ssd looks sexywhich post of mine you really wanted to reply to ?
What ever happened to the archival disc (AD)?It's kinda bad the HVD, Holographic Versatile Disc, seems to have failed. That stuff was rumored to hold 1TB, and once scaled in R form would likely cost like 10 cents per disc. The only real issue was limited bandwidth, but it could have served as a nice physical backup solution.
don't know, at least we have the superman memory crystal in labs and some universities, that is far more important I've wanted it for many years, but it ain't available to the public.What ever happened to the archival disc (AD)?

Estimate of 13.8 Billion year memory lifespan, iirc, quartz based memory. Imagine not just your immediate descendants, but perhaps other civilizations would see the story of your life. People do not know the power of science, if you are remembered, you exist forever, for with enough technology even death can be reversed. If your art or thought eventually become sought after you become sought after, and in the distant future what becomes art is a matter of opinion(From canned shit, to crucifixes in jars of urine, to random paint blotches, there is always a fan or zealot for something in the world of zeal, the perfect world of the ideal future)
My PS5 SSD has like 400GB left. What the fuck are you filling your storage up with?
You probably have HDMI link on, which sends your PS5 to sleep mode when you turn the TV off.moving over to external HDD does not work if you turn the TV off for me
Maybe for people paying more with digital purchases - as the download I presume is always fully patched, pre-download - but for those with optical, it is a slow reinstall first, then hours of patching to reinstall CoD single player - if just keeping it installed to demonstrate to friends, when meeting up, when the pandemic situation allows for wide-spread catch up with less riskYou dont need external storage when you have fast internet, just delete and re-download as required. This just seems like PR/advertising.
There's gigabit in my area too. But currently sitting at around 200MbitMy internet is fast enough to download a 100 gigabyte game in 2 hours but not everyone's that lucky.
How did you get it for so cheap???
Yeah, still I would think that on both XSX and PS5 the system could resume it in background mode. It can do that for remote app updates and game downloads.You probably have HDMI link on, which sends your PS5 to sleep mode when you turn the TV off.
Try disabling HDMI Link.
Just the standard 500gb model and bought a seperate sleeve

And yet they won’t take responsibility for any M2 drive that meets the specs not working as expected after installation. That’s why people have to rely on Cerny’s Twitter feed to decide which SSD to buy. It’s not just poor customer service, it may be creating unfair competition between suppliers.
As a consumer, I’m very disappointed. They botched this whole storage solution. I’d rather pay more for a plug and play stick that is guaranteed to maintain the same performance as the internal storage.

I think the post seems to be a generic “genuine concern” post, started talking about how much uncertainty there is (in a thread where the PS5 Lead System Architect is telling you what he is buying, just to add more irony to it) and ends the post with a not too veiled plug for XSX proprietary storage solution and how so much more pro consumer it supposedly is .It's not even live yet, it's in beta. Maybe you should wait until the feature is actually available before you start crying about how they aren't telling you exactly which drive to get. There will be a list.
I do not think you should have to, it could be part of the background operation mode.I believe you can disable just the power state sync without completely disabling HDMI Link.
I don't play 5 games at a time so I'll be good.Ah, not a Warzone player, I reckon
Jokes aside, 600 gb fills up really quickly, dude. You are the exception, not the norm.
5-6 games and its full

The good thing is that since it's an open standard and not a propietary storage, over time more and more companies will develop compatible SSDs, and the prices will drop.not too bad, 250 for 1TB for this drive...if its good enough for Cerny, i'm gonna go with that one
$700 aud for that one…..and without a heatsink
That’s almost the price of the console
It also fits the overall required dimensions too combined with the WD heatsink.Got the same one yesterday. 1TB version though.
