The feather in the cap of Sony?s new PlayStation 5 console is the custom architectured solid state drive (SSD) and SSD controller, but an SSD as the default storage solution makes storage expansion a difficult prospect. While the PS5 teardown video may have given us a look at Sony?s SSD storage expansion solution for the new console?an internal SSD storage bay that can accept multiple different third-party SSD storage options?this feature won?t be available at launch. Players will have to wait for an update from Sony to get more SSD space on their PS5 consoles.
Sony confirmed this news to The Verge, saying, at least in part, ?this is reserved for a future update.? Back in Mark Cerny?s Road to PS5 tech talk in March, he confirmed that few if any SSDs existed on the public market that could match the speed requirements of the PS5?s custom SSD controller. Due to Sony?s custom work done on the SSD, not just any M.2 SSD will slot in, and with few options available right now that could even conceivably work, Sony is opting to leave the SSD expansion bay inactive until a future update enables it.
