PS 2 used 8 MB memory card through magic gate. PS 5 supports SSD up to 8 TB...thats equal to 1 000 000 PS 2 memory cards. Quite crazy.

@blybruce 7 ай бұрын

The PS2 memory card was only for save points. The PS5 SSD is for the whole game. Save points do not require as much memory.

Got the 2TB Adata XPG S70 Blade and bought a cheap 6mm heatsink because the included 1mm heatsink made me think it would not be enough. The transfer speeds from internal storage to it are insanely fast. Had it for a year in the PS5 and it runs fantastic. No need for expensive ssd that does absolutely nothing better mounted in the PS5.

Is there a single 4TB drive for the PS5 that is confirmed NOT to have firmware issues? I'm asking because I've been using a Samsung 980 2TB for my PS5, and it died yesterday. Now I'm reading that these had some firmware issue that caused them to die early. I could care less about some marginal plus/minus 10-20% in performance, I just don't want the damn thing that I pay hundreds of dollars for to die on me.

@LyuboA 8 ай бұрын

it's Not firmware issue it's BAD cooling you probably didn't had heatsink or got one per Sony Idiotic specs and closed the SSD bay this is the Only reason SSDs in PS5 dies just get Corsair MP600 PRO XT NOT LPX it has great heatsink that sticks out from the ssd bay providing much better cooling and don't try to close the ssd bay the heatsinks that replace the ssd bay cover are also an option but i wouldn't use them on a double sided ssd meaning 2TB and 4TB ssds

Do not buy anything from WD directly. Use a third party if you insist on having their products. The reason I say this is because they have delivered my product using UPS, who left it in an insecure location from where it was stolen (if it was actually my door, can't really tell from the picture), and now they refuse to help. They insisted I get a crime number which I have done and now they have just turned around, ordered me a 20% discount on my next purchase OR an extra years warranty on the item that has been stolen. Complete joke of a company, I will be taking it further and completely out of their hands.
