I just hope I can switch between game and dashboard without the system freezing up. Many times when playing Division 2 I go to check a notifcation etc and it just hangs, and sometimes needs to be completely replugged..

That definitely isn't normal. Have you tried restarting in Safe Mode and doing a database rebuild?
 
@TheVoice I have done a rebuild, and it keeps happening, every so often. I know the game requires a lot of system resources so I assumed it was that. Only had my Pro since middle ish of last year.

Haven't done safe mode yet.

Most interesting thing about the PS5 is what they’ve done for storage. Intrigued to know the cost of just that.

I wish it was more though. Be nice if there were two options at launch for £100 difference or whatever, so people who wanted 1.6TB could have the option.

True but I guess they’d have to have multiple manufacturing lines then which would cost them more money etc.

it may be an option for them in the future.
 
By the time you need more than the included storage, add-in drives will be available.
With the majority of PS4 games not taking full advantage of the super-quick SSD in the PS5, sensible option will be a 1TB+ USB3 SSD for your PS4 games and save internal storage for PS5 games that will actually make use of it.
By the time there are enough PS5 games available, there will be a few manufacturers with NVMe drives up to PS5 spec and you'll be able to slot in an additional one.

I was gonna say that I would fill the internal SSD with my favourite PS4 library on day one but you are right external usb3 SSD is the way to go for that.
I just wish we will be able to run PS4 games with improved quality. I mean I can understand that running games at 60fps that were designed to run at 30fps can break things but running them at native 4k with nice AA shouldn't be a problem with a small update like what we had when PS4 Pro came out.
 
Here's is a video an interesting talk on how SSD speeds could affect games in the coming years. This is for both the PS5 and XSX (is that the abbreviation) games. It is long, so stick on 2x speed and listen in the back ground :p


I rough TLDW

Smaller game installer size due to not needing to duplicate data (Same as what cerny mentioned). This may be offset by large texture size and an increase in assests due to no longer being bottlenecked by HDD speeds.

Currently games need to hold in RAM everything that player is looking and everything a player could look at in the next XX seconds (where XX is the speed it takes to get data from the harddrive to RAM). By reducing XX you effectively increase the amount of data that can be dedicated to what the player is viewing, since you don't have to back up as much data on RAM for what the player might look at in the next XX seconds.

PS5 SSD speeds could have been limited by Sony so that it was easier for players to find NVME drives that would be compatible.

PC will get this tech at some point. Devs may even delay porting games to PC because of this.

Isn't it already here if you use Intel Optane?

Sorry, I wasn't being clear. It's the benefits in games that I'm looking forward to rather than the raw speed itself. What I mean is, it could be a while before we see these benefits in PC games due to developers still having to cater for anyone still rocking a traditional spinning HD.

Its frustrating when using an nvme drive on pc, and you still get pop in issues:p.

Developers may just ignore them or crank up RAM requirements 32GB minimum/64GB recommended to play the next COD game. The other options is that a tool gets released and HDD/SSD speed is tested and your system is given a compatibilty rating for new games.

I do wonder how motherboard design will change if gaming requires people to move to NVME SSDs.
 
I still find it odd that in the Xbox thread they are talking about games, lots of games and here at PS5 we don't even know what the console looks like

Same, i think at this stage Sony must have plan for some sort of mega reveal e.g consol show off, games third party + exclusive and maybe price? We barely even getting drip feed news about it now
