The PS5 will require a drive not only up to a technical specification but also a particular size (specific dimensions), we don't know when they will even be available and I would bet my left arm that they cost a good deal more than the XsX drives.
I still don't like that we don't know for sure if it is an actual expansion or if it is a replacement scenario. They would have to have the expansion bay cooled as well as the main internal. These drives can get hot. That is why the XsX cards have a special heatsink.
All valid points! If you want additional storage on day one, it seems like Series X has the best option.
It's not clear yet as to whether there will be Sony-certified drives on the market for PS5 in time for launch. If there are, I'll be interested in seeing the price and how many options are available.
Over time, I think Sony's approach has the most potential to be a better value (in terms of price and options) for consumers. You can't argue with Microsoft's simplicity though. Want more storage? Buy this thing and plug it in.
