PS5 supports 20gbs through its thunderbolt. And internal there is 4tb limit so Sony deliberately made those limits to sell ps5 pro
Will test if regular ps4 games plays on it faster than regular 2,5 external ssd and hdd.
Made a 5500 mbs external ssd, gaystation 5 still don’t let me play ps5 games on it.

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

Wrong
test picture, but Sony still don’t let you use external ssd, when you can put a 3900mbs one internally and it will work despite 
the claim you need minimum 5000mbs and the loading 
times were barely different. SSD was just marketing game for Sony and a reason for MS to sell extra expensive custom ssd that are basically photo 
cameras ssd: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4MecTJGTiXs
Like you can build
your own Xbox series 
ssd for 50 buks when ms asked 300+ buks and now almost 200

The USB-C on the front, as well as the two USB-A (blue) ports on the back are all SuperSpeed-rated, capable of speeds up to 10Gbit/s.
PS5 will play any internal gen4 drive

it’s speed

This ssd was in my ps5 and it externally didn’t even let me copy my files to the new one and every time you taking out a ssd out of ps5 it request a formation so I now need to re-download everything. There
is different 
software 
ps5 puts to internal ssd since you can share the external disk with different 
ps4/5 and play the game inside those disks if you have the right 
account on the console.

Bruv you can’t play PS5 games externally regardless.
That USB-C is not Thunderbolt it’s SuperSpeed USB, that’s still only 10Gb/s, PCIe (NVMe) bottlenecks roughly around 64Gb/s (note the small b for Bits not Bytes).

You can play on any gen4 ssd no matter
its speed. I can bet 100 buxs when ps5 games 
will be bootable on jailbroken ps5 you’ll easily be able to play ps5 games 
on regular 
500mbs ssd and the difference will be minimal compared to 5000mbs ssd.
Same shit already happened with ps3 where
it has USB2.0 and the hdd is faster than USB but on jailbroken ps3 you barely will notice 
differences.

I don’t think you understand the concept of consoles.
They state: “Hey this the exact specification of our console, target this and you’ll always get X performance”.
Because they plan to last nearly a decade they will _overspec_ the console at launch, often to the point of losing money per unit, but then as the economy of scale works the components become cheaper and they eventually turn a profit. Overspeccing the console also helps that increased life time.
Is a slow PCIe 3.0 drive good enough for a simple game? Yes. Will it be good enough for a AAA game in 2027? No, that’s why they made the baseline high _now_.

That’s not how modern
consoles are sadly.
Ff16 already owning ps5’s, in graphical mode and that’s like 1440p and performance mode is sub 1080 and often 720p.
This gen was supposedly 4k gen and 60 fps and there
are barely any native 
4k games. And MS created 
a next gen console 
on par with xbox one x.
A ssd won’t improve performance in games, it’s just the new power
of cloud 
thing

If game devs can’t make good games with the specs of current gen consoles that just reflects poorly on the devs. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the current specifications of consoles, besides the selling 4K native rendering when it’s mostly creative upscaling.
Is your opinion honestly that SONY gaslighted g*mers into wanting SSDs and not sticking it out with HDDs for another decade-ish?

Sony was unreal hyping that ssd like they told its controller is so magical that ps5 games will weight less than ps4 games so it’s tiny 600gb ssd size won’t be a problem. Horizon 2 on ps4 is 40gb and on ps5 120gb. It would reduce the need to duplicate assets. Sony was also promoting it also like it will almost replace ram. Then did a whole show with “unlocking” ssd port: https://www.engadget.com/sony-ps-5-ssd-storage-expansion-firmware-update-ps4-remote-play-135032853.html
They told ratchet and clank is only possible on ps5 because supper ssd when in reality the game was developed for ps4 and only on late stage switched to being ps5 exlusive that can run now on hdd on pc.
Today Sony barely mention that magical ssd.
Also games won’t look better no matter what hardware you give devs, modern devs will stop at good enough, optimization don’t exist anymore

I’m not sure what the alternative was?
Let the consoles be stuck on HDDs for a decade which is clearly awful, or use SATA SSDs which was bottlenecking flash ages ago? You don’t even pay a price premium for NVMe anymore.
I don’t think it’s nonsensical to overprovision console hardware in this way when it’s clear they will last 7+ years.

if they had included a Thunderbolt 4 port I’d see some argument as it’s more in line with NVMe speeds (it’s also PCIe at its core) however they are still somewhat cost optimized and a Thunderbolt controller isn’t exactly a cheap addition.

You will never be a real imposter. You have no sabotage, you have no vent, you have no kill button. You are a noob crewmate twisted by sus and amogus into a crude mockery of Among Us's perfection.
All the “Red sus” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back impostors and crew mates alike mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “crew mates ” laugh at your ghoulish appearance behind sabotaged doors.
Impostors are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed impostors to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even transimpostors who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to an impostor. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk impostor home with you, he'll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected User Interface.
You will never be sus. You wrench out a fake act of suspicion every single morning and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the tasks piling up creeping up like weeds, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll buy a rope, do your tasks, eject yourself from the Skeld, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your crewmates will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth occupation, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a crew mate is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a single bone that is unmistakably a crewmate's.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back
