Not too surprised as tbf to Sony its a good move why leave it enabled for people to potentially buy SSD that dont work, The SSD in Sony machine is one edge it does have over Xbox X/S (Not that there is slow by any means) but its faster so they need to ensure after market ones work

Few weeks ago a WD Black NVME Slide leaked for there newly released ones and it said PS5 but was quickly changed
 
No native 1440P support on the PS5. Really can't understand this one, do they not know people have consoles connected to a monitor or are the numbers too insignificant for them?

But even slow ones could be used for ye olde PS4 BC games, don't they all share the same handful of controllers :confused:
 
I'd hazard a guess at insignificant numbers, I can't of course prove it either way but I just associate consoles with tv gaming and I plugged mine in once (ps4p) and it looked terrible but then the monitor is 1440p.

Directly from Sony. Who from Sony? A live chat agent? The CEO of SIE? A cleaner at Sony HQ?

It's not 'confirmed' until there's physical proof, or a public post by Sony. Far too many of these 'OFFICIAL - confirmed by an unnamed random person as Sony who we can't name and can't provide the source of the information'.

It's likely correct, but again I'll wait for an official post from sony/seeing the settings in the UI.

As for the SSD, why would you buy an expensive NVME SSD for PS4 games when a normal SATA SSD will probably perform just as well?

:p:D There's another issue too, if you're a dev, you know that you've got 5.5GB/s of transfer speed on the SSD to play with, guaranteed. Likelihood is, some games will be developed to make FULL use of that.

So, if you go sticking in a SSD that can only do 3GB/s, when the game is expecting 5.5GB/s, that's going to either cause fairly major performance issues, or worse. And the game will be expecting that speed on both the built in SSD and the internal expansion SSD.

Save the internal drive slot for a proper, officially compatible drive. If you really need the extra space for PS4 games, a USB3 SATA SSD will be fine.

It is worth thinking about a low-end NVME SSD for PS4 games though given the PS5 has 10Gbit USB ports and the price is going to be similar to a SATA SSD; you could be looking at being able to hit over 1.1GB/s on an external drive (or over twice the performance of a SATA SSD).

The idea of being take full advantage of a Gen 3 NVME drive by connecting it internally and using it exclusively for PS4 games isn't that bad of an idea, at least in the short term while we wait for Gen 4 drives capable of hitting the performance needed to run PS5 games.

DF will no doubt do an external drive test so will be interesting to see what they come up with.

I won't need to worry about storage for a few weeks/months at least, even with the PS+ collection, so will wait to see what options are best.
 
Looks like a pretty version of a million different mobile games being advertised at you when you start to watch a YouTube video... imo ofcourse.
