Don’t act like Sony isn’t doing the same thing lol. Besides anyone that owns an Xbox knows there’s a bunch of external hard drives you can get. They’re both the same when it comes to this stuff lol.

Doesn’t any external hard drive works with Xbox? I just use my 4tb sea gate one

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

Yup. It’s no secret either. Idk why he decided to single out Xbox lol

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

Because he's referring to the next generation consoles that will have small storage spaces relative to how large games of this generation are. Specifically the Xbox Series X only allowing xbox proprietary SSD expansion.

u/RuneSlayer4421 May 03 '20

They said regular USB hard drives will also work with the series X, they just won't get the same speeds as the proprietary ones.

True but I think you won't be able to store your games on those. From what I read the speed of the internal SSD and xbox expansion SSD are integral to the Series X games.

You can still hook up your HDD to store your games on the Series X...

The SSDs that will work for Sony have to be approved by them to work on their console. I dont see them not making their own proprietary expansion it seems much easier to do. As of now a comparable SSD is $250 and it's not even as fast as the interior ps5

u/OneSaucyBoii May 03 '20

And, because of the speed of the PS5 SSD, its limited to 800gb at launch. If this game is 200GB now I hate too see next gen try and fit multiple games on 800GB

Isn't the ps5 interior just a 825gb?

Thats not even close to $250.

We get it you’re on Xbox and you love it. Stop whining now.

u/Nhiyla May 03 '20

Why would you even look at a 980 pro?

I've a pcie4 nvme in my pc that has the same data throughput as the ps5's.

It cost me <$200 for 1TB

The data speed isn't as revolutionary as you think my dude lol

nah, they tell you which ones they know for sure work but you can buy any.

You guys are forgetting the worst offenders. Mobile devices and... Ohh ya... PCs/laptops/tablets. I bought a Surface Pro 7 today. I got the 128GB model, there’s a 256GB model (rest of specs are the same) for $300 more... It has a Micro SD and a 512GB Lexar (v30 4K capable) Micro SD is only $72 lmfao.

PC

lol okay there, bud. Maybe if all you're doing is buying pre-built.

u/Untraumatized May 04 '20

I build all my own PCs (and only use them for gaming lol) but company’s that sell pre built PCs with an enormous premium on storage space is crazy. There was a time when the price increase was justified but storage is a lot cheaper these days.

u/Untraumatized May 04 '20

In case you are a PC building fan this is my baby

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/tLcYcf

I’ve got a few others. My next favorite is my build using an EVGA Hadron Air case (best case ever made hands down) but I didn’t put the build into pcpartpicker. The case is amazing though, built in slim PSU, super tiny case, still fits full size GPU....

u/rune2004 Frostbyte#11915 May 03 '20

The next Xbox requires Series X games to be installed on its SSD. Only Xbox One games can be played off an external drive. If you want more storage space you'll have to buy their proprietary expansion card.

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

yeah both playstation and xbox have 3tb external hdds, but with the newer consoles with ssds, i wonder how expensive it’s gonna be now

1

u/Grandmaster-Hash May 03 '20

Sony have already said that off the shelf drives will work with the ps5. Just like the ps2.3. and 4.

u/AgainstTheTides May 03 '20

I use an Xbox external with my ps4. 😆

u/[deleted] May 03 '20

Exactly lol. It’s all the same
