than external ssd drives

I hope the costs of these expansion drives aren't idiotic. Based on what I've read, game sizes themselves should actually be smaller overall. - Shaun May 19, 07:23 6
- That M$ is making expansion a proprietary drive is really disappointing. Also, why is PS twice as fast? You say smaller but how much smaller - Krusty May 19, 08:30
- if the ps5 just uses a standard nvme ssd, those are around $100 for a tb. if you want the faster gen 4 version, might be about 50% more i think -- nm - tRuMaN May 19, 07:25 4
  - The official PS5 SSD is completely custom built, but the relevant 3rd party drives will need to be PS5 approved, or whatever terminology they use. -- nm - Shaun May 19, 07:27 3
    - not according to the article linked or other articles, the expansion slot will be the standard nvme supposedly. -- nm - tRuMaN May 19, 07:28 2
      - Yes but the drive itself needs to meet certain specs. -- (link) - Shaun May 19, 07:36 [youtube] 1
        
        yeah probably needs to be nvme gen 4, or a high end 3. - tRuMaN May 19, 07:41
