So, how y'all feel about this potential storage solution? Vita nightmares? Or maybe Sony will be more reasonable this go round.

So, how y'all feel about this potential storage solution? Vita nightmares? Or maybe Sony will be more reasonable this go round.
Hoping for the best, but that doesn't seem ideal. I want to have like 4tb storage, since my 1tb ps4 pro got filled so quickly.
I don't get why Sony would do this. Surely it'd cost a metric ton to make console-only expandable memory. I mean they make their own storage, but still..
It's not anything like the Vita though since it will have in built storage. If you manage it you would never need something like this.
SONY. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. STOP IT.
Oh, unless this is for a Toio-like thing and is unrelated to the PS5. Then whatever.

And that's the thing, we have no idea what this is or what it's for. Fun to speculate though.
I don't know how I feel about this, if the PS5 comes with it's super fast ssd of 1TB, and these proprietary ssd cards enable the same speed and functional as the internal ssd that is a good thing but only if they are well priced.
Have 1tb as main and the ability to use a slower external ssd would not be to bad.
It all depends on the cost.

Lol you can't be serious. The system will have internal storage.
PS5 = PSV = Vita is back baby!Is that....proprietary storage?!!?
The Vita could not really function without a memory card so you were forced to buy one. Since the PS5 is going to have built in storage Sony can only price these so high since people won't need then to use the machine.
I think Sony wants to eliminate slow loading all together with this. Seeing how if this new internal storage is fast as people think it is a external SSD is just to slow
I still rock the base 500GB hard drive in the PS4. I don't really care about having all my games installed at once though.
How would people react if there was no Expandable Storage of any kind? Only more expensive models with more space (2tb, 4tb and so on).
Because it seems like they already said that PS5 will not have a "normal" SSD like what we have on PCs today.

Game sizes are going to increase.. a 1Tb drive is going to fill up fairy quickly.
SSDs are high, and I can't imagine the ones included will be any more than 500GBs, and if games sizes continue to grow that amount of drive space will be NOTHING.
This isn't really comparable to the PS Vita situation. Right now, there is no SSD form factor with PCIe 4.0 speeds that is suitable for consumers to change. There is just this:
You can't expect average consumers to handle an upgrade with something like this. That's why Sony probably had to develop a proprietary standard for user-changeable storage. Also, because the PS5 SSD is likely cutting edge stuff, there will be very strict requirements regarding performance and cooling.

That's a cartridge and I'm 99% sure it's not for PS5. Just because it's filed by SIE doesn't mean it is. Wasn't that Toio patent filed by them too?
Remember this?

Yes, but the cartridge was also registered in Brazil, where Sony never released any kind of toy like Toio. And if I'm not mistaken, the cartridge patent was filed by the same guy who registered the PS5 devkit.
They will, if...
a) ...it's necessary because PS5 only ships with ~1TB storage and games will continue to grow in size, and...
b) ...it's easily doable thanks to a convenient proprietary standard.

Pretty much.
I expected this to happen as soon as Sony started talking about its custom PCIe 4.0 (or whatever) storage for the PS5. SATA is too slow for whatever Sony is designing, and PCIe drives are connected straight to the motherboard. Sony probably wasn't gonna let customers connect an off-the-shelf PCIe EVO straight to the PS5's motherboard.
