My eyes are wide open, sure you can get a cheaper M.2 than the firecuda 530, whether it will work with the games is a different story.
I meant "support" more favoured towards the Series X, because the internal speeds of the Series are easily matched with the majority of SSD external's, the PS5 requires a minimum speed of 5500 mbps.
Maybe i need to be more clear in my comments, as it seems a lot of people take them out of context and then i h...
Everyone knows the speed of the PS5 storage options are higher, i did not think i would have needed to spell that out.
The series x external, matches the internal SSD identically, these prices will also reduce once more manufacturers/storage sizes are available.
"here's a big difference between making a statement that assumes all things are equal and one that doesn't."
No, i just made a simple statement about storage s...
Good stuff, any competing drives announced and green lit by Sony yet?
Your not understanding my point, months back, in articles about the price of the series x external proprietary card, i stated the NVME storage option for the PS5 would be higher in price.
I got ridiculed, bashed, downvoted, called a fanboy, you name it, for simply stating a fact which has now come to fruition.
Nothing to do with speed, compatibility, whatever anyone wants to use to justify the price, my point still stands, all these months later.

@ocelot07
Speed is irrelevant, the Seagate external is identical to the internal (series X), however you can buy non-seagate external SSD's that are still compatible for cheaper than the card.
The reason the Firecuda 530 is more expensive, is because it is a faster SSD, still does not change the fact, people were bashing a 1TB external drive for the series x for the price, but are giving the firecuda a pass on the price "but but but because it is...
@therapeutichawk
Relax buddy, just comparing 2 SSD's from the same manufacturers.
But you do realise the external SSD is not the only one that is compatible with the Series X? i know right, mesmerising
"PS5 supports any SSD that has a 5500MB/s read rate."
Xbox supports every external SSD....
"What's the deal with xbox fans with the constant misinformation? Honestly, do you not understand what you're talking about or is it intentional?"
I did not state any misinformation, merely noted the cost difference between both 1TB solutions.
You mentioned speed difference
I clearly stated in the past, that PS5's internal SSD will be a higher price than Microsoft's solution, as the speed of the SSD is higher,...
Most probably be around the same performance, the PS5's SSD has been massively overhyped, to the point where gamers think a game on the PS5 is impossible to run on any other SSD.
@darthv72
It is funny isn't it, the amount of people that were bashing xbox and seagate for the proprietary storage price, now are ok with paying these prices, even though this is more expensive.
#hypocrites
Edit : UK price
Seagate 1tb expansion card for Series X - £179.99
PS5 internal 1tb seagate SSD - can not locate a price, but my guess would be £249.99, going by the 520 which is currently £179.99
And the price of this is higher than Xbox's proprietary seagate 1TB expansion.
Xbox Series 1TB expansion - $219.99
PS5 1TB internal expansion - $249.99 (Changed to US $ instead of AUS $ - originally put $349)
I called it, got bashed for it, but i fully expected the PS5's internal drives to be a higher price.
Multiplayer would be excellent in this game, i'm going to get some MP flight paths going when i fire this up!!!
You go for the bargain bin, ill go with GWG
Need to add Series X tag
I've heard he is a changed man these days.
Scalpers do not want the Series though, it is the PS5 that has been majorly scalped, pushing that figure to 10 million.
You need to try something different, your angle is not working....
Try reading the article itself and comparing the "math" within the article, which shows the Series is ahead of the 360 by 2.11 million units in the same aligned launch timeframe.
At this point i just think your a really bad troll, and i have no wish to further engage with you.
@waverider
Ok, so i learnt math, and by using math, and looking also at websites using math, i came to this conclusion by using factual data.
Xbox 360 in its launch year 2005 (2 months) sold 1.18 million units
Xbox 360 in its 1st full year 2006 (12 months) sold 6.8 million units
Xbox Series in 8 months has sold 5.93 million, nearly higher than the 360 in 14 months. All they need is 2 million sales, in 6 months, to be able to co...
False info, what he means is userbase of Playstation and Nintendo has been more or less static since the 90's, he is not factoring in today's markets of mobile, xbox, tablet into that equation.
The audience of console gamers has grown exponentially since the 90's.
PS1 - 102 million global
Sega Saturn - 8.8 million global
3DO - no data
N64 - 32 million global
Jaguar - no data
So gen 5 - con...
Is it compatible with PS5 though?
That is what we are discussing here, not just SSD's you can buy
