3x as fast. Are you sure about?And 3x as fast.
These PS5 and Series X custom SSDs are way too much.$165 is way too expensive. I am not spending almost $200 with tax just for some extra space. I will just keep deleting games.
All the final flash PCIE4 drive hit around the same speeds.
Weve all but saturated what PCIE4 can do at this point.
This drive is likely using a Phison E18 controller, unless Sony are making their own controller which would be interesting to see its sustained speeds and real world performance.

I'm no techie, but I'm pretty sure people have said compatible PC SSDs goes beyond raw speeds. Something to do with channels or something where PS5 channels are different than PC SSDs so even speeds that should work still wont work.I really hope Sony isn't doing anything proprietary. I liked their approach on the PS3 and PS4 when it came to storage. I hope they just enable the SSD and give us a list of compatible SSD's we can buy from anyone/anywhere.
Not everyone can download a new 50gb game in a few minutes or an hour, many still have to download for an entire day or two.And we can use cold storage, so I really don’t understand people who need 20 games installed and ready to play. Stupid waste of money.
Did you miss the PS3/PS4 clock drama?Awesome! I'm so happy that Sony seems to be keeping us in the track of digital downloads and physical media. Anything that moves the industry AWAY from streaming and subscriptions is good in my book.
I want to own my game data for life and I don't freaking care what the price is.
Don’t believe it, the 2TB is £320, not £165.2TB M.2 SSD with 7GB/s, PCIE 4.0, for £165 (192€) ?
No, don't believe you.
I still need one… But I’ll go with the smaller one.To avoid confusion:
1TB
25,190 yen
£165
$230
2TB
48,560 yen
£320
$440
estimated retail prices
excluding VAT I assume
The internal SSD in the PS5 has more Priority lanes than consumer SSDs.I'm no techie, but I'm pretty sure people have said compatible PC SSDs goes beyond raw speeds. Something to do with channels or something where PS5 channels are different than PC SSDs so even speeds that should work still wont work.
Right. Cheers. Think with VAT it’ll still be about £250.165 is the 1 TB converted.
hmmm still too expensive imo for 2TB. Its almost the price of the console.To avoid confusion:
1TB
25,190 yen

Thank you. I’m out of the loop with this technology to be fair, is that the same spec / comparable as the other one?WD SN850 can be found in UK for around £160. Another drive on the market just adds to the competition.

We don't even know if this is supported yet (probably will be)That's about the going rate so no complaints. I do wish they would reveal more supported NVME's as I'm leaning on a Samsung 2tb.
It's basic maths bro. Xbox expansion card tops @ 2.4Gb/s and it costs as much if nor more. Worst deal of the century.3x as fast. Are you sure about?
No matter how easy its its not like the xbox solution. The one that you can actually unplug even with the console is still on (plug and play)I've been installing SSD's in my PC for the best part of a decade and they take no more than a couple of minutes to install.
If you don't own a screwdriver and are incapable of using one then I don't know what to say.
I am sure we will get bigger versions. Hopefully by that time prices will get lower.I know as a CF Express card it's not that much expensive, however as a sole expansion for native titles, I find it to be overpriced. Also small gimme 4TB version...
LmaoIt's basic maths bro. Xbox expansion card tops @ 2.4Gb/s and it costs as much if nor more. Worst deal of the century.
It awesome ! It’s Sony !so what happened to people being able to use any m2 drive that met the same specs??
no heatsink is also a little puzzling as the faster drives get quite hot
If I'm wrong please tell me, don't be a jackass.Lmao

it's almost the same priceNice drive (hopefully) for DirectStorage, which I find slightly ironic, but the price is good (compared to that overpriced card for X|S).
it's almost the same price
Mine has been in the box since last October waiting for sony to get its shit togetherI got an sn850 for about half price. Seems fairly comparable to that?
Aww sorry to hear. Hopefully it's supported and soon. Mines in my PC so I'm at least sorta using it. Hopefully direct storage is soon and common.Mine has been in the box since last October waiting for sony to get its shit together
This is going to cost 250€ 1T in Norway, isn't it?Nice drive (hopefully) for DirectStorage, which I find slightly ironic, but the price is good (compared to that overpriced card for X|S).
If I'm wrong please tell me, don't be a jackass.

Nextorage Co., Ltd. , a memory / storage business under the Sony Group , will release the NVMe M.2 SSD "NEM-H" series with PCI Express 4.0 x4 connection on Amazon on the 21st. The price is an open price, and the estimated retail price is 25,190 yen for the 1TB model and 48,560 yen for the 2TB model.
Good price point if the exchange rate translates, though I'd expect something strange like £189
That WD black last year was officially advertised as compatible but was pulled when it was clear that update wasn’t coming. So I guess we’ll wait and see!Elephant in the room: All of the pictures of it are inside of a PC. Will this be the first drive that is officially supported by the ps5? Or just a coincidence?
3-4x the quality?Assuming the same price, it's 3-4x the quality and tier.
It has the PSX logo on it, instant quality upgrade for Bo3-4x the quality?
Thing is.. this company gets no Sony branding at all lolIt has the PSX logo on it, instant quality upgrade for Bo
