PS5

Hopefully they send you a replacement.

With the RAMpocalypse the suppliers seem to only be handing out credits even if they have stock available, because it’s cheaper than sending a replacement drive.

I bought it on takealot so I don't know. Will see. I want a replacement because I paid R1199 for this drive it's now R3549 on takealot

Sadly, fat chance of that. There's a post about someone having an issue with an ssd and they just got a refund.
 
So yeah I know I'm a bad boy but wondering if it's not the jailbreak also causing issues. When playing games in a compressed format thr console runs hot due to it needing tl uncompress assets as they are streamed.

Anyway the drive is fried it what it is. The console crashes with it in and my pc isn't reading it. Damage is done. Ai

... You did put a heatsink on the drive like Sony said right? The sticker it comes with doesn't count 👀

Yes I did. Removed the sticker. It has memory cooling pads with aluminium heatsink.

I pur the cover back. Thought that was maybe the issue but sony says it must be put back and not left open.
