We just got confirmation that Sony is finally bringing out PlayStation 5 SSD expansions. And it’s one confusing aspect after another and is practically a joke at this point.
Xbox Series X storage expansion is far better and easier for everyone that owns the next gen console. The Ps5 yet again is out done by Xbox.
Microsoft and Sony continue to add to their consoles, yet Sony seems to be making mistake after mistake with their console.

Are you going to put an expansion SSD on your Ps5? Or is this too much of a mess?
@mash2481 in beta form… this is covering themselves in beta. Not ideal really. People would be mad to give there PS5 for testing, especially if sony want cover you for any mishaps that may not even be your fault
@Naxster really. Do enlighten everyone with your knowledge. Regardless the core point of the video is sound. If off the shelf nvme drives are potentially going to cause a disparity in performance then that is a problem. I think you should learn a bit more frankly.
Yes.. it’s pretty easy 😆
Great Vid Zalker, the Xbox process is clearly more user friendly. Are you concerned however that Xbox decided to use a PCIe 3.0 SSD? PCIe 3.0 was released in 2010 and PCIe 5.0 comes out next year.
I can see it becoming the first bottleneck this gen.
I bough a xbox for that reason third party games on my xbox and exclusive for ps5
I’m so glad I bought a xbox series because this would p*ss me off I have over a hundred games on it and still have plenty of room for more games
Lol and people were dumping on xbox 🤣 😂
Absolutely garbage. This was the generation I was going to get back into playstation. I bout a ps5. For my son when it came out. But the last I had was ps3.. Now I just truly know. Done with the Sony bullshit.
I been sitting on a Samsung nvme 980 pro for nearly a year now, waiting for this feature lol what a mess.
You must be a computer professor to be able to instal that SSD.😂
I’m just laughing at the Pressed Xbox fans in the comments bashing Sony in every chance they get by spreading lies. Go back to your fridge
which.part is a lie from Xbox side? MS doesn’t ask us to beta test on our system, at our own risk.
Well look at that an Xbox channel trashing on PlayStation 5 😴😴
Jim Ryan reallythinks psfans are lind followers
the response of this beta test, from a lot of Sony players, show that yes, they are blind followers.
The very fact that Sony didn’t even provide 1TB for a $500 console tells you they didn’t give a damn about providing value for their consumers. This is what happens when you have a bunch of «xbox guys» going along with the mainstream gaming media saying the PS5 is a GREAT console😏 when it’s totally NOT🚫 the case. The PS5 has been a piece of shit💩 from the beginning but most of you industry xbox YouTubers didnt have the balls to speak up and just say the truth.
I feel like Sony is just planning their own m.2 SSD For people to purchase that way they can keep on making more money it’s the PS Vita
Funny thing is I just bought an Xbox SSD Expansion AND MLB the Show new for 170 off the fb marketplace. If I sell the game for even 40 I pretty much got 1Tb for 130 😂
The PS5 is like a used luxury car with a bad engine.
All those features are cool… but sooner or later you’ll wish you bought the car that doesn’t keep gauging you with extra costs & headaches.
Daily L’s for the unicorn kids. 🦄🌈✔️
It’s like a car maker ask customer to buy their work~in~progress car, then crush test it on the road.
I’m agree with your comment
You guys just don’t understand Sony. Fortunately I’ve been following gaming for a long time.
The more ps5 breaking, the more ps5s they will sell.
Don’t affect me. Games download fast on ps5. Xbox takes forever
Lol lmfao😅🤣😅🤣😅😂
Playstation is desperate.
Trash plain and simple
I have a 1tb ssd external for xb1 games I’m playing, a 4 tb hdd for xb1, 360 and OG games, leaving the internal ssd for the series x native games.
It’s awesome to be able to play my games no matter which storage I have it on. It’s super fast to transfer to one of the ssds if needed and I haven’t needed the Seagate one yet, as the external ssd does a very good job.
Can’t wait to see some more options in storage as well as manufacturer, it’ll still be cleaner and cheaper than sony’s ends up being I’ll bet
Add storage at your own risk!!!
**WARNING **
So that means? You still need to run “some” games on that SSD because the expansion won’t be able to run it, do to being held back from fully running the speeds required?…. Yeah, MS got it right with their solution.
I wanna see these Sony channels to talk about this bs with Sony. Oh wait! Sony can’t do wrong in their eyes. Reminds me of Nintendo.
Yea, coming from the fanbase that defended Xbox for launching with no games for the past EIGHT months.
Nice meme video. Installing is literally open side panel and remove one screw. Of course the Xclowns have to 🤡. Bravo
u mad pony ?
not that hard actually, but yeah people need more clicks on their content anyway…
I have ps5 and Series X and I really don’t play the Ps5 .
Ummm, I thought Sony was known as a hardware company and Microsoft as a software company. When did Microsoft get to the point where they are outgoing Sony in their own arena?
That’s it, I’m going to say it. PS5 is a failure at being what it’s supposed to be. I know it’s selling out I’m not saying it’s a financial failure, I’m saying it’s a failure at what it’s supposed to be, being a console. Consoles are supposed to be easy, simply take it out, plug it in, and play. Insert disc, or start digital games now, and play. Plug in controller have it connect and play. Plug in more memory and your ready to go. It’s supposed to be simple and easy and that’s not what the PS5 is. First you have to use a screw just to set it up, failure at design. Then you have to take off the plates and unscrew just to get to the ssd expansion, failure at design. Now you have to do research of what ssd is compatible, make sure it has a heat sync or buy one separately, make sure the dimensions are correct, and it still may have problems and overheat and some games can’t take advantage of the fast ssd anyway!?!?!?!!??!!?!?! Not to even mention the way game saves aren’t even easily saved in the cloud, have 6 steps to download next gen versions of games, have to buy upgrades for PS games with director cut editions! I’m done, the PD5 is a failure as a console. Call me a fan boy I don’t care, I’m not saying it’s a financial failure but it’s a failure at what it’s supposed to be. It barley has any worth wild exclusives at the moment and all the heavy hitters are delayed to next year and even those will be playable on the PS4. All it has is a controller with features that are only worth using on single player games because how is jamming my triggers supposed to help me shoot faster on Rainbow or COD. The PS5 is a failure at what its supposed to be in my eyes right now
The only people confused are xbots who don’t know how to use a screwdriver….. typical xbot hysteria, shouldn’t expect any different from you zalker 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
LMAO Pony
This isn’t confusing at all. You act like this is public information when it isn’t. Then again, we know how brainless Xbox fans are. Nice fear mongering, dude. Can’t expect anything more from an idiotic RDX member with an agenda.
Am I allowed to use external hard drives for the ps5 or is that only for Xbox as $300 aud for 500g is to much and can get a 4 terabyte hard drive for $170
I have the fray one release digital and the hdmi port is already broken and the controller is drifting and I rarely used the damn thing.
PlayStation 5s been a joke since release
A long to say you can’t get an SSD expansion for the PS5.
Ps5 is just shit system this generation 😂
I think the PS5 redesign in 2022 will solve this ssd scenario,Cmon Sony take da heat off your back already 🤔
Xbox series X game lineup is a joke the ASScent yellow rated indie,Call of the sea yellow rated indie,Falconeer yellow rated indie and the MIDium yellow rated indie LMFAO again all you get is Halo,Gears and Forza now with a sprinkle of Bugthesda games everything else Shovelware
Everything with the PS5 has been poorly communicated and just all around bad
Xbots brains is a joke
What Sony is saying is it’s gonna be basically like a normal external SSD. SMH. Here I am, having bought every PS since the first, contemplating waiting until they fix this crap. F’n sad.
Yo Zalker, i had a PS5 and i sold it.
Only stupid Sony fanboys can actually thing that this is okay, any normal person would complain, this is bullshit. Sony is way behind than any competition in this generation
Zen 2 architecture is well designed. The PS5 isn’t.
I hate this and i will contact Sony.. To say they scamed us once more like whit the pro that was 4k gaming yhea right never happend. But this is worce they sad this is a amazing ps ever whit ssd…. It was small but you can expand no problem in the future! But hell yes this is a problem. I can buy 3 ps5 digital insted of getting a 4tb drive like the one sony says to buy! I will not buy a cheap and slow one. And i will not put one in that can mess up my system.. and that also will not work just as good.. They did a BIG misstake here rushed the ps5 out. And did not make a driver for the expantion port sdd like the internal this is why it will never be te same. Getting fed up that they get away sayng on paper and video that the consoles can do stuff. And that in the and it never cud do it!? IS this just me? It was never like this whit before the ps3 where they took away things after sale and got away whit it. I think they need some supporter complains now. So they stop doing this! I realy think they cud make the ssd that work and sell them for half of a normal one.. I will realy just buy a digital ps4 insted of a new SDD So stupid! Those that think this is ok form sony.. Wake up!
I’m calling it now playstation is going to be like this for a while this generation
Just proves sony is out of touch with the consumers. I work in retail, people in general are not smart. Their are going to be pissed off parents that their kids ps5 crashed or burned out because of their ssd. Meanwhile my series x plug and play ssd works like a charm for 75 bucks cheaper then their least expensive one. This on top of horizon forbidden west being delayed just more L’s for sony.
Great points my guy !!!!
It’s even easier than replacing a PS4 HDD because you don’t need to backup and reinstall everything. But if you want to pay a crazy inflated price for a proprietary solution because you don’t have to unscrew a screw. Go ahead and get an Xbox.
Sony has done nothing but fuck up this new gen.
this whole video is a joke
It’s not even a joking matter. Sony dudes getting hosed hard here
Now I’m glad I couldn’t get one, I’m just going to wait until they get done beta testing users and put out a newer version of the ps5.
Xbox is for the player, Sony is for Sony
This is a joke!
I feel sorry for the owners of PS5 for being treated like trash by Sony.
This is an utterly and disappointed mess from Sony. What a disgrace
I think I’m going to wait until PlayStation 6 in 2027 hopefully Jim Ryan no longer in charge fuck you jim Ryan
To be fair at least the PS5 LOOKS futuristic, the XSX is just a BOX that’s not even X shaped
I am not online gamer for that no need more ssd✋🏻
Was on ps for 10 yrs really enjoyed the platform but shifted to series x on launch day last year and could not be more happier. Gp and looks (imo ps5 is just plain fugly) tilted me towards my initial decision but now looking back it was the best decision i made. Plus i never realised how toxic the ps fanbase is…only realised it when i made the switch to xbox and starting seeing all the craziness in social media…anyway to each his own…at the end of the day these are just consoles made of plastic…not worth getting worked up on…just enjoy the games on whatever platform one plays on leave the others in peace.
Sony skill based console making
This sounds like they gave it up and with this article they are trying to avoid court cases
It’s beta, you can buy ms solution off the shelves, sony is exotic ? And its a wait for the tools argument. Wait a year and the prices will come down just like the storage for ms has done.
