PS5 M.2 internal drive support OUT NOW!

They are there on purpose to take out any heat produced in that expansion slot verified and confirmed by Yasuhiro Otori. He would know, he is the head of the PS5's mechanical and thermal design.
That's impressive.
But yeah the point was if a kid under supervision can install the SSD, it really isn't that hard at all for an adult who is semi familiar with using a screwdriver.
lol here I was here thinking/looking for circular holes, those are like little exhaust channels or tiny holes for ants
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, I’m bored and hella tired
Another fantastic analysis by NXGamer.
Final test results average assuming internal score of 100:
Ps5 internal 100%
Samsung 980 pro 101.5%
Corsair mp600 96.99%
Note the mp600 is only 5 GB/s read, below recommended specs.
He also said that there is a new Corsair 1TB gen 4 nvme out recently that costs only 109 pounds which would be almost half the price of the Xbox Series option which would offer similar performance to the internal. This is an example of how the open market competition can really help the consumer and their wallet with these gen 4 SSD prices.

Ordered the 1TB Samsung this morning. Will be here tomorrow but the heatsink I ordered won't be until Tuesday
I'm surprised the Western Digital is sold out even though Samsung is cheaper. Probably because of that Mark Cerny tweet *shrugs*

Yeah, most people probably see that WD SN850 as the golden standard now seeing how Cerny is using it.
I almost pulled the trigger on the Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB as they were having a sale now on Amazon with $90 off but managed to hold off the temptation as I am still okay with just deleting and installing games.
If you scared to install your own heatsink... by a drive that includes it but never use one held together by rubber bands lol.
Just confirms what Insomniac was saying: their engine for Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart still doesn't take full advantage of the SSD's speeds, meaning there's a lot of room for improvement and optimization in terms of their game engine in efficiently using these blazingly fast harddrive speeds compared to last gen.
