Re: PS5 Has 667GB of Usable Storage Space on Its SSD

According to some and whom posted this the XBOX SSD is faster.
"Microsoft's direct storage API is insanely fast and Sony can't use it. Microsoft also has a fast decompression method and better compression by roughly 2x.

Lastly because of the custom ssd controller Sony can't take advantage of the AMD boost in data transfer. Sony has to transfer data in 256Mb chunks while Microsoft can transfer data in any chunk size they need. So if they need 8 gigs of data it's transferred in a single 8 gig chunk but on the ps5 to get the same 8 gigs of data it would need to be broken into small chunks.

This transfer process is still fast as hell on ps5 but due to chunk size it's roughly 10% faster on the xbox. Combine that with direct storage API and 2x better compression and faster decompression"

Re: Sadly, You Can't Store PS5 Games on an External HDD

Question: Would the PS Plus 20 collection be considered PS5 games or still PS4 games? If they are PS4 games would my kid be able to log in his PS4 as me and get access to those 20 games if I had an active PS5? If considered PS5 games would they transfer to External HHD?

Re: PS5's Limited SSD Storage Space Cannot Be Upgraded at Launch

@Robinsad i agree, same situation as me. Will have one PS5 and family using it. Sony should of bit the bullet and gave us a 1Tb drive. That little extra space helps. Plus with the SDD going bad after years will kill the game collection fans. I know people with reg SNES still. 20 yrs no PS5 cause of bad SSD that can't be replaced.
