Since its open market the price will come down, especially when NVME 5.0 drives come out.
We can hope for the best but thats not how it always works

I bet they will have official branded ones. Even if not then SSD with specs enough for PS5 could easily be >400$Sony isn't having an official one made so it's hard to have one that costs double when you aren't making one to begin with.
Stop with the FUD only MS will charge money for memory.So what price are you expecting these PS5 certified drives to cost? considering they have to be 7GB+ speed and fit the PS5 bay?
It's not open. Sony still need to certify them.There is no Sony one... proprietary vs open market and all that jazz .
How fast are NVME SSDs compared to SATA SSDs? Also, do they suffer from less latency? I have only a SATA SSD, which is a Samsung EVO 500GB unit; however, my motherboard (Asus X99 Deluxe) came with PCIe 3.0 expansion cards, one of which is for M.2. NVME devices. I've never used it and am thinking about finally doing so.
Would I notice any real-world difference in boot time and program loading with an NVME ("cheapo" and top of the line) relative to my EVO?SATA 6 caps at about 750 MB/S, cheapo nvmes like the wd blue hit 2400 MB/S. Top of the line nvmes like Samsungs top at 3500MB/S.

Sony will let you use off the shelf compliant SSDs so in theory they should be cheaper than proprietary solutions. Though to be compliant they will need to be very fast and those fast drives may cost a lot the first few years.Wait until Sony's cost double that amount.

well ... there it is again. The Kraken thing. Kraken would be much better if the comparison format would be uncompressed. But kraken is only a small margin better (if you're lucky maybe 10% overall). Oddle also works with every other loseless compression format (not just kraken). There are also other texture-compression formats (like oodle) that reduce the quality of the texture but make it better "compressable". Oddle & kraken are currently one of the best combinations you can have, but only by a small margin better than others. We talk about really small percentages here. It is not like oodle & kraken reduces the textuers in half why the other formats just get the original sizes. This is not how that how that works.PS5 games quite possibly will be more/better compressed since we now know it will be using oodle kracken and oodle texture kraken.
Well, damn. That's one hell of a transition. In addition to my Samsung EVO SSD, I'm still using three spinners: Western Digital Blue 4TBs and 6TBs, and Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB.I went from spinners to nvmes so I don't have hands on experience...
There is no such thing as kind of proprietary. It's a standard nvme x4 slot. If it meets the min spec or not doesn’t make it proprietary.I hope that’s either fake or a placeholder because that’s a bit too expensive for a single gig.
Actually it kind of is proprietary since you really can’t put just any kind of SSD(or HDD obviously) inside the PS5, and there really aren’t many if any at all that’s PCiE 4 on the market.
Nah. You think all SSDs will be tested? That Sonys certificate will not give them +10% to price (or even more)?You are really grasping at straws here .

They won't be sold with a Sony stamp. What will happen most likely is that Sony will have a list of drives they've tested on their website and that they certify that barring manufacturer defect comply with ps5 drive specifications.
The way things are looking, you'll be charged double market price for this proprietary Xbox expansion drives, which was to be expected.
They will be branded, or at least have information on box about being PS5 compatible. No sane company would omit that information.They won't be sold with a Sony stamp.

And 2tb XSX with additional gamepad is 790$. What stupid comparision is that?Yikes.
1.5tb xss is 520$ and 1tb xsx is 500$ with 3 x power and much more ram
Nonsense. We must be outraged right this instance!I like how people are reacting to this like its a confirmed price. Remain calm.
I don't know what people expected. 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSDs are around $175-200 as it is, $220 is a realistic price for a proprietary solution.
Wow, I had no idea it was that shitty.Given that the speed of XSX’s SSD is lower than PCIe 3.0 spec, the pricing makes zero sense.
For now Xbox expansion card is not twice as expensive as SSD.

Yeah well exactly, however they are falling fast, this is not going to fall so quickly and that's why it's a problem...1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 drives cost at least $190. Don't understand why this price would be impossible then?
It's going to be 149.00I am sure we have dozens of GameStop employees on these forums. This legit (if possibly placeholder) or not?

Sony cards won't be proprietary. There will be competing manufacturers.Wait for the Sony one....those vita memory cards sure were value
Yes but it's also a small factor one which requires higher density chips. Which is more like this:Xbox SSD doesn't even fully saturate PCI 3.

Couldn't be that fast when DRAM-less. Even with that Host Memory Buffer, it adds latency. Well it could be as fast with sequential read, however in random, that's where they start to show problems.You can find them for less, Sabrent Rocket os a premium brand of fast SSDs.
But sure, they're a bit more expensive than standard size. You're still looking at double the price instead of more than double...
Xbox SSD doesn't even fully saturate PCI 3.
Sony w
69.99 USD for 4 TB.
Doesn't mean anything since it's pcie 4.0
The console motherboard might support PCI 4 but the standard supports PCI 3 peripherals. I looked around and saw no controller specs for the Xbox drive and since the specified bandwidth doesn't require PCI 4, I think it's likely it will be a PCI 3 drive as a cost saving measure.
If you have sources that indicate that the drive is indeed PCI 4, please share them.
