I got the SN850 as well. Bought direct from WD and used their 10% off code.
But we ain't. Just take a look through the "ssd beta" thread. We should be allowed to make fun of the "it's too hard"-guys in here - when it's obviously not.It's bullshit Twitter console warring. This place should be above it.
There are already three or more other threads about PS5 SSD expansion drives. Why not put it in one of those? Since we like to consolidate things here, this would seem a good candidate, the exciting nature of SSD expansion notwithstanding.
This isn't GamePass. This is the PS5 SSD.
Are you 12?

I think it's funny that it's the only argument that some people have.
I agree that we should wait for the update to be out before coming to any conclusions but I don't think installing the NVME will be as difficult as some say it is.
Relax, this is just an ironic answer to tom warren
Where is this 10% off code I can't find it anywhere?I got the SN850 as well. Bought direct from WD and used their 10% off code.
Here Sony finally avoided

Question is....heatsink or not..
But this whole war going on over "it's too hard" is peak retardation. One side is lashing out at another for pointing out the reality that removing the bottom cover and undoing two screws is more complex (not hard) than plugging in a memory card. For just about everyone here that's not too hard (but based on some posts I'm not 100% sure about that). But it's the same as the PS3 and PS4. I wouldn't trust the average PlayStation user to open up their system and replace the HDD (or know how to restore the OS in the case of the PS3 and PS4). The PS2 was really the only one that had a simple HDD upgrade.
Most people here take care of their systems.
The average PlayStation user will never add an SSD. They will delete games when the internal space is filled.I wouldn't trust the average PlayStation user to open up their system and replace the HDD
I don't need it that bad so I'll never pay scalpers.I'd pull it now. Scalpers are already targeting those drives. By the time the beta is over you'll be paying $1000 for a 1Tb from some Sneaker Baron.
You can get separate heatsinks cheaper than the "bundles". Check thisQuestion is....heatsink or not..
You know it's even easier than replacing the HDD from a PS4 right?
Actually some people are calling the PS5s solution difficult because they are lashing out at the options PS5 owners will have.
This time you don't have to reload the OS.
It took me 24 hours to replace my HDD on my 320Gig slim PS3. Took 12 hours to copy the contents of the 320Gig HDD to a 500Gig external. Then another 12 hours to copy it back to the new 2Tb I installed.

Will that heat sink be okay for the 1tb drive?All aboard the expansion train
Now go all by this overpriced promoted piece of kit, Sony fans Cerny will be laughing to the bank ..
Sony doesn't set the prices for NMVe SSDs.
I suggested that was going to happen, people said it was crazy.Nor do they get a cut from any of these purchases. I'm actually surprised that Sony didn't partner with one of these SSD makers to release an official PS5 SSD. They're just leaving money on the table.
As compared to the overpriced piece of kit MS and Seagate have an agreement to sell a 1TB proprietary drive for?Now go all by this overpriced promoted piece of kit, Sony fans Cerny will be laughing to the bank ..
My PS5 SSD has like 400GB left. What the fuck are you filling your storage up with?
you do understand this isn't proprietary technology nor is the one Cerny bought himself sold by Sony?Now go all by this overpriced promoted piece of kit, Sony fans Cerny will be laughing to the bank ..
How did you come to this conclusion? It makes no senseNow go all by this overpriced promoted piece of kit, Sony fans Cerny will be laughing to the bank ..
I tend to buy more than I finish. Bad habit I know.. bad practice overall… but…. I need the storage. Also a game like CoD if you keep all modes keep eating more and more space.I don’t understand why people need extra memory on PS5 or Series X. But, i don't understand people who play a ton of games at a time.
I play a game, finish it and immediately remove it, as if I ever replay it, it will likely be months or years later and I'll just re-download it. There's just a few games, such as Rocket Leauge, that I feel the need to have installed all the time.
I signed up but no 10% off code so far :-/ tried to verify student status for 15% off with my education email and for some reason that's not coming through eitherSign up for an account on the store and they'll email you one.

I guess those people never upgraded their PS4 HDD.
I guess that's a point. I stopped sharing my consoles. I buy mine and later, if requested, I'll buy one for the kids to share.I don't play many games at once either, but my PS5 is for the whole family. Between the four of us we all play different games and storage runs out very quickly.

Its literally had people claiming that it is too complex/hard/difficult for the average consumer.
I’m not diving back into that debate, however, I’m just pointing out that it isn’t about one being less complex than the other. The XBOX solution is easier. That’s the extent of it. The rest is something I am going to try to avoid.
Took another look at it and it seems WD cant do proper exchange rates to CDN$. 1TB with heatsink should be $319 CDN and they list it for $365.
....nope
Taking a lid off a PS5 and undoing a couple screws is easier than assembling ikea furniture which average consumers seem to have no problem with.
The reality is that all this concern for the "average consumer" that installing an expansion SSD is too difficult is just team green being salty that PS5 has a clearly superior SSD expansion solution.
Probably not as its just the price shown when you switch different versions.Is tax already included in the $365? In the US, the tax is calculated at checkout because each state has a different tax rate. So if the drive is $250 USD, we're paying $250 USD + whatever the state tax is.
I wonder why Sony doing you a favour of giving your certified easy plug and play solution instead of the impossible to decipher mess of SD cards and the tons of vendors that had their alternative. The risk of buying the wrong card… nope in that case it was horrible and a reason to wish the system to fail for… .Or you could always install any other drive thats not licenced by Sony. Still isn't the same thing as a proprietary format like those Vita memory cards.
Should be. The form factor is still 2280 and all its doing is dissipating heat.Will that heat sink be okay for the 1tb drive?
