8TB NVME drives are already a thing.
£1400 and PCIe3.0 only though:
The 980 Pro from Samsung was leaked briefly, which has a read speed of 7GB/s and will likely be one of the first approved SSDs to work with the PS5.
It's priced at around 25c per GB. So if they even release a model that's 5TB then you're looking at $1250.
I didn't know about the pricing. So a 1TB would actually be around $250? That's actually a good price.
but yeah 5TB is nuts, won't happen
At the start of this gen a 256GB SSD cost $200. Never say never :p
They should just sell smaller 100-200GB SSDs each with an individual game already installed on it. Maybe give it a nice plastic shell, put a colorful sticker with the game logo on it, etc.

damn didnt think they had that much storage yet.8TB NVME drives are already a thing.

You've got a very long wait, you'll need PLC NAND (5 bit per cell) to become mainstream before you see that sort of capacity available for $300.
Yes we are. Hard drives allways are getting bigger and cheaper. It just takes patience and time.
lol
oh man
y'all, expanding the PS5 SSD is gonna be a luxury. it doesn't make sense compared to the available alternatives. if you're trying to play 10-20 games off a single SSD you're doing it wrong.
just buy external HDDs for storage. easy.

5TB? This is impossible, because technical reasons. (Must be multiples of 2) /pedantic
It doesn't matter if you go physical or digital, the entire game will be installed to the NVMe. There's no such thing as playing the game from the disk.That shit's an inelegant solution. The more I think about it the less I like the way Sony's handled this. Definitely sticking with physical games this generation.

Fair enough.It matters because I won't have to download the entire game every time.

don't you see how big new games are? COD warzone is over 200GB GTA 5 is over 140GB and i want to never have to uninstall any games.I also want to record 4k games on my PS5 at a high bitrate that takes a lot of storage.

There will probably never be a 5tb but a 1tb drive fast enough for ps5 is set to launch this month from Samsung for about $450 so let's just say you aren't getting a 4tb or 8tb one anytime soon for $300.
