Our solution to our very active two gamer PS5 household? His-and-hers SSDs :-) Couple of awesome options for 7000MB/s, ended up putting my $$ down on this one. Going to be SWEEET!!!
Ordered mine directly from
You`ve covered this up modestly but we all know this is the 4tb version we all wish we could own.
Have this one myself, just need beta access . Or hopefully full release won`t be long!
That heatsink looks too thick to fit the ps5 though
Bragging about 2 PS5s when most normal consumers cant even get one and promoting a 200 SSD because the storage is crap the 4TB model is almost same as the price of the console itself
I my country Might as well buy another Ps5 at those prices.....
This solution had us wait a while after launch,but foward thinking is exactly why PS5 will continue to outshine the competition graphically for years to come. Glad you didn`t take the easy route and stick a normal SSD in PS5. PS5 continues to be an engineering masterclass
Cue everyone rushing to get this one because the Sony technical architect got one.
If we have one SSD in one PS5 can we use it in another or is it formatted for that single PS5 ?
"OUR" solution? :D. Nice... didn`t know WD ist bougut by Sony.
Nice; how is that 3D audio for 6 & 8 (5.1 & 7.1) channel / AVR Systems coming along? Can`t wait to try it out...
I`m going with the Auros 7000s. Comes with a heatsink and it`s cheaper. Also it`s literally a perfect fit. These are great though
I wonder which size he ended up getting for both
Whatever you do for PlayStation, you have to know that it makes me happy. Thank you and keep working! You are the best Cerny!
160$ for 500Gb or 470$ for 2Tb guess Ill be stuck with the SSD from the PS5 :/
Hey , will the WD SSD`s be the only SSD`s that you can upgrade the PS5 with? Are there any hardware specifications that should be considered?
May I ask, what do you mean by his and hers? Is it two ssds that you swap in and out? Second question. How plausible is an enclosure for the drive and just a cable to yr ssd slot on the ps5 to connect it? (idontknowwhatimtalkingaboutsorry)
I`ll wait for PS5s to finish burning homes down, and the fix that ensues before I buy one. I had that WD after they announced it would work LAST YEAR.
Just ordered one myself!
YASSS Mark Cerny you are the freaking man! Thank you for giving us the amazing PS4/PS4pro & the phenomenal PS5
Does this include a heatsink?
Nah this ones better Mark! You guys are the best .
Probably won`t even need one. Games are getting smaller as we move forward to next gen only games. I mean if you game on Playstation, the next COD game will be less than 100 Gigs with the decompression also improving to be honest.
Picked up the Gigabyte Aorus 7000s. Put the NVMe through is paces today transferring a ton of data and gaming on the M.2. I got to say pretty happy with how stable the beta is so far. Look forward to continuing to test & hopefully contribute to reporting and feature improvements. Surely you can put that through on expenses and say it`s for testing lol
Either his account has been hacked or he is royally taking this piss out of PS5 owners
As recommended for PS5 by the man himself! WD_Black SN850 Internal SSD Lol, who`s running this kid`s account?
Mister Cerny is true that you are trying to implement ps3 retro on ps5?
Any idea when to expect this to roll out to all users?
I hope ps5 equivalent to rtx 3070?
And some people thought batteries was too much
That`s an expensive SSD. How about cheaper ones? Will they work or I have to drop a fortune on extending my storage?
Its a huge improvement for the console, I had one on my PC the previous generation Samsung 970 3 years ago and I upgrade to 980PRO PCIE4.0 I got double the read and write
It`s such a weird situation the way to upgrade the storage space on the PS5. While it`s great for consumer pricing and choose, I can see some people really messing up the installation or not getting a drive with a heatsink.
Xbox series ssd > playstation 5 ssd
Yikes Cerny cultists is a real thing. WD_BLACK SN850 1TB NVMe Internal Gaming SSD; PCIe Gen4 Technology, up to 7000 MB/s read speeds, M.2 2280 by Western Digital ps5 compatible and recommend by himself ps5ssd PlayStation5 UK link
Thank you for the suggestion Mark!
Perhaps in PS5 revision make it less complicated to install. Quite a hassle moving around huge PS5 and dismantling it just to increase storage to more than the pittance that comes on board
Anyone in UK who is looking, have the cheapest by far at 210 Whats your favorite anime? Mines jujutsu kaisen would recommend
i just bought one too.. If only your could quickly swap out his + hers SSD like the Xbox series S + X.
Im liking the Samsung a little bit more but thanks it`s absurd when the SSD cost as much as the whole PS5. Get cheaper versions approved. That is not a model the normal pleb can use.
Question, I live in Canada. On the official site, its listed as $690 with heat sink for the 2TB, yet You forgot something . "ended up putting my $$$ down on this one." That is one expensive SSD
firecuda 530 ist Just better fucg WD
What about samsung 980 pro?
Due to how good the kraken compression is I actually dont need an SSD expansion! Thanks
Mr Cerny, where is VRR? Also you said in a presentation that the PS5 does not need to copy updates, this is a mistruth to reality.
I`m not sure that will fit in the PS5 expansion slot with the heatsink. It`s kinda thick. Let us know how it goes!
Thank you Mr. Cerny for personal experience advise for external SSD!
Pretty irresponsible to tell your PS fans to go buy these when the SSD is still in BETA phase, isn`t it?
Hey Mark, thank you for great PS5 But the questions are: 1. Why you couldn`t bring it console that can run 60 FPS + Raytraycing + Native 4K on every game? 2. AMD Fidelity FX Technology will be implemented to every game to achieve 60 FPS + Raytraycing + Native 4k? Also I am not sure if this is possible but I would love a knack 3. I just finished 2 and its actually a great game.
Wow we sort of got an official recommendation.
Thank you for your hard work Cerny, dont listen to these idiots complaining that they cant figure out how to use an SSD
Got the same one hoping Id be selected for the beta test. Didnt get it this time. Hope to be selected next round!
Had the 980 Pro in for a while, incredible value and performance! Is the regular version good too or do I need the one with the heatsink?
Thank you, Mr. Cerny. Finally a clear answer about SSD expansion to the PS5.
This SSD situation is just WHACK
this ok for a recommendation? For a sec I thought they were selling gendered SSDs LMAO Happy for y`all
This drive will be sold out within the blink of an eye.
Xbox Series S is useless! For $100 more (PS5 Digital) you get: 3X GPU Power. 2.2X Faster SSD. Double RAM. 2X RAM Bandwidth. 2X SSD Storage. Next-Gen DualSense. Exclusive Games. Pay $220 more for SSD storage for Series S ($520) & you end up paying more than PS5 Digital ($400).
Thank you Mr Mark to you and the whole team at Sony for doing such a great job with hard work dedication for PS5, and it`s future is looking bright. Its going to be an exciting generation :) I had to do it couldnt risk not buying it and there being a shortage of this specific model once the update is officially launched But Xbots told me that the PS5 couldn`t use extra storage Are you saying you`re going to swap drives everytime you let the other person on?
Yeah thats also 700 CAD for 2TB, smh
Definitely picking one up for my PS5.
Yes, God. Thanks for going with non proprietary and giving choice
Yes, God. How important is it for it to have heat sink?
You gonna tell em now or later that trying to install one can break their consoles?
Where is Horion Forbidden West. U sir messed up the SSD. It is too expensive to expand its storage. Better invest that budget in a more powerful GPU. We didnt need such fast SSD. Gimmick
Mark Cerny co-signed? GO! GO! GO! Ratchet and clank, looks awesome on fidelity mode at 120hz.
Mark, can we please get 1440p support on PS5? Thanks.
The Only Einstein in gaming Mark Cerny thank you for engineering with the japanese the world`s fastest most powerful console PlayStation 5 "Going to be sweet" Granted, it could be easier to install, but that`s alright. Better than having to buy proprietary stuff.
Mark looks just like Garth from Wayne`s world
$200 on Amazon rn for 1TB. $118 for 500GB. 400 for 2TB. Very good price for a crazy fast drive! These drives will likely be found for less than $200 for 1TB by the time the update goes public.
It is pretty sweet. I`m happy this is an option on PS5. Top tier experience and so easy to do.
Breaking the bank over here Is Sony giving a list of ssds once the official firmware goes live?
I wont need additional storage, but impressive work you guys have done with the internal SSD I/O throughput. Ratchet has gotten me very excited for future PS5 exclusives. In Cerny we trust! Is there a limit as to how many tb`s the PS5 will support?
PS5 vs XboxSeriesX System Loading Times Comparison: Hint... It`s not even close! Turn On: XboxSeriesX - 18.39 sec PS5 - 23.13 sec Turn On (rest mode): XboxSeriesX - 2.13 sec PS5 - 13.23 sec Reboot: XboxSeriesX - 30.16 sec PS5 - 39.60 sec better update your stocks
Hi Mark The SN850 is what I`ve been eyeing as well. If it`s good enough for Mark, it`s a definite yes from me.
What about the Samsung 980 pro?
Xbox external SSD (2.4Gb/S) 1Tb = $230 PS5 external SSD (7Gb/S) 1Tb = $199 which is three times the speed of Xbox external SSD DON`T buy Xbox external SSD it`s SCAM Amazingnow all we need is the ability to DOWNLOAD ps1-ps3 games on ps now and the ability to screenshot and record gameplay with them as well
You the MOTHA EFFEN MAN Cerny!!!
anything over 2.4Gb/s speeds is irrelevant when you have to spend over 2.4 minutes installing it once in a lifetime..
Thank u Mark Thank you, Mr. Cerny, I appreciate your hard work on this subject, Mr. Cerny, you are really a genius and Sony is proud to have someone like you. Thank you
Recommending the Sn850
told me this wouldnt work because its only peak and not sustained performance like the much slower Xbox Series X drive. Thanks for confirming that he is wrong as usual and a complete moron when it comes to tech. Nice! Got the exact same one on the way
fantastic, and thank you leading the way in bringing architectural design that frees developers, such as yourself of course, I`m a big fan ever since Crash Bash on PS1 .
Do they have to have a heat sink? I have heard both scenarios but rather hear it out of the horses mouth..
This drive is gonna be harder to get than the console now.
Wd my favourite brand on my ps4 pro i got a ssd wd
Wake up babe new mark Cerny tweet
Can`t wait to install a new SSD to have much more space.
The firecuda 530 is also good right?
How many TBs is it though Mr. Cerny?
Thanks for giving gamers a choice when it comes to expanding storage. Also will it be possible to boot from the external ssd if the internal one ever fails? After years of use the flash memory would probably fail right?
babe wake up, cerny tweeted
Awesome. Thanks so much for your teams hard work.
no need do not have ps5 pain to get not wait for next year stay with a pc and ps4
Welp this specific drive will be out of stock soon
Ooh I might get these as well Mr. Cerny
The SN850 has a firmware option (I think?) for a Game Mode that can be toggled on in the Windows WD dashboard that turns off power limits -- I wonder if it affects performance on PS5
Can`t wait to get a Ps5 Mr. Cerny
Mark only tweets once a year, Now let`s camp out for the next year
I appreciate your hard work, but it is very complicated for me.
Hey Mark!! You bet!
The has finally tweeted. Can I ask what took so long for the SSD to come out?
