Dual Side Fan pulling in more air.
Watching this made me emotional too, Ellery. I've been waiting for PS5 teardown ever since April 2019 when Mark Cerny gave his WIRED interview talking about PS5 for the first time.No worries I felt no offense and I can tell you are decent and genuine. I am used to much worse from some Neogaf people and nobody ever managed to penetrate my skin.
I don't mean emotional as in that I actually have tears rolling down my cheeks, but that it makes me happy to see this video because it is well done and the console looks premium and I am looking forward to playing on it. I don't see it as a fault, but as me looking forward to be happy with it and the design of the PS5 looks to cause me less headaches than the loud PS4.
Everyone from China studying this teardown. You know they're already looking to make these side panels.It can, just remove the panels?? plus there will be some nice after market modded panels to replace the ugly white ones, I'm looking forward to that.
Because you asked for a quieter console.but why is it so big
Can we run the PS5 like this, or will taking the plates off ruins the thermal dynamic designs?

So we have to open it up to expand storage? Not exactly ideal.
But what about hooking up a external SSD via USB? If we install next gen only games on that, can we play them that way? Or is it like Xbox Series X where it's solely BC games to will boot from it?
I haven't been following the PS5 news much, so I'm sure this is old news. But that's what I want to know.
Yeh, the 825gig is naked soldered straight to the mobo. Cool stuff, should be included on every better mobo.Oh nice did this just confirm the SSD was an expansion SSD and not just replacing the main one?!
I wonder if 3rd parties will make custom side panels? I love the siz eof the ps5 but im not partial to the collars. Id rather just have it contured to the base unit.

USB 3.1 maxes out at 10 Gbps, i.e. 1.25 GB/s. The PS5 SSD does 5.5 GB/s. Sooooo no.
Fair point. The Xbox 360 power brick was huge.
I like consoles that don't require you to find space for a second box apart from the main unit, but there is a footprint cost to it.
The M.2 expansion is there so PS5 games can run off it.Can PS5 games run off that M.2 expansion? Or is it just for PS4 and storage?
What happened to that Sony patent with heatsinks on both sides of the CPU/GPU?
From what I saw nothing of that was present on the PS5.

the video itself even says "RDNA2 Based" which suggests its not full RDNA2, which is as expected

Goddamn. And it already is far from 1tb in that thingt to begin with.
I wonder, does this mean USB externals will never ever work or could that be a future thing?
Liquid metal confirmed. Kudos to Sony to take a brave step.
RGBYou know someone's gonna make one that's transparent and maybe one with more fans built in.

An external drive will never be able to run PS5 games no. That's why there's an expansion slot to add an additional internal SSD. YOU can STORE games on the external drive though, but you'll need to move them to the internal SSD to play them (which should be pretty fast). PS4 games will run fine right from an external drive.
I was going to reply with the 360 power brick too, but this is even better. And it's not like the 360 was a small console without it!
But to install that SSD you'll need to open the PS5 up? I can't help but think MS went with the better solution with those cards.

Look again. Hint: Pay attention at the beginning of the video when the VP of Product Design takes off the PCB cover and exposing the mother board.

That is not true for silicons.Not necessarily. Higher clocks mean higher binning = less working chips from each wafer.
You need to slide one of the side panels off and unscrew a small SSD bay cover, yes. A bit more work than just popping in a "memory card", but how often are you going to do it? It's a much more flexible and consumer-friendly solution, as it lets you use any compatible SSD (of which there aren't many yet, but there will be). With the Xbox you can only use their proprietary one, which they can price as they please.
sony lied rdna diedOh for God's sake
Your lifting a flap with no tools and one screw to expose the SSD slot.....you are not performing surgery.But to install that SSD you'll need to open the PS5 up? I can't help but think MS went with the better solution with those cards.
Yes seems like they will allow every option.... the only requirement will be the weight and the speed.I just noticed (on my 4th watch) that the PS5 can handle up to a m.2 22110 size NVMe drive (instead of the most common 2280 size)! Check out the 2nd picture and look at the number! They must be planning for some massive size SSD drives in the future!
2nd angle:
MS went with a simpler but expensive solution.But to install that SSD you'll need to open the PS5 up? I can't help but think MS went with the better solution with those cards.
So you guys can argue about SSD benchmarks in the future too! It's kind of a fan service!Yes seems like they will allow every option.... the only requirement will be the weight and the speed.
From the pic the weight will be fine for over 90% of the drives and the speeds we need to wait more options.
Right now 980 Pro is one of the option that fit in that slot and have enough speed to run PS5 games.
I think it looks better like this, I bet there's going to be a huge market for aftermarket covers as they're easy to remove, and I'm thinking like a clear/frosted acrylic one. With the built in blue LEDs? Oomph.
Well DF already did that with PS3 and PS4 so I expect new bench for the best (performance and cost/beneficies) SSD for PS5.So you guys can argue about SSD benchmarks in the future too! It's kind of a fan service!
