PS5

I think the major issue at the moment is availability, no heatsink can ship today


Well, after watching this clip, I'm a bit concerned. Have ordered and paid for a Samsung 2TB 980 Pro today. No heatsink obviously.

A question - if the SSD does overheat, does it result in a critical failure of the entire PS5, or just a shut down?
 
Allrighty, the Samsung 980 Pro is installed.

My PS5 tells me the read speed is 5668.019 MB/s. Seeing as this SSD supposedly has a read speed of 7000 MB/s, this doesn't seem very good?
 
surely theoretical under laboratory conditions

I've been doing some googling, and it seems Sony's SSD and specs only promised 5500 MB/s to developers, so I guess I'm ok then. Was a bit concerned at first.
 

PlayStation Officially Acquires Bluepoint Games, Next Game Planned to Be an Original, Not a Remake​

Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced yet another studio acquisition - Bluepoint Games, the developers of the Shadow of the Colossus remake on PS4, and, most recently, the PS5 remake of Demon's Souls.

Bluepoint and PlayStation have worked closely together for years, but the news comes after the studio's latest successful release, as Sony confirmed Demon's Souls has sold more than 1.4 million copies since release. IGN spoke with PlayStation Studios Head Hermen Hulst and Bluepoint President Marco Thrush to learn more about the acquisition, PlayStation's overall studio strategy, and about how, thoughBluepoint is steeped in PlayStation remaster and remake expertise, it wants to explore original ideas.

 
Update on my SSD upgrade.

Still waiting for the Amazon delivery. I ordered 3 items at the time (the SSD, the heatsink and a replacement remote for my Nvidia Shield). All 3 ended up in different shipments because of availability timing. Got my Shield remote first on the 28th last month. The heatsink arrived a few minutes ago, and the SSD is only leaving Miami now.

Now I wait...

Which one did you order? Samsung or WD?
