There was a claim that the Pro was to come with 2TB internal storage.

Don't want to post that here because the source of the article is that clickbaiting moron MLID.

2TB NVME are still pretty pricy when using on a mass amount of systems. With the ability to easily add additional storage, I would think they would stay with the same HDD to keep costs down. That's only my opinion though

They can do 1TB instead of the 825 GB they currently do, and it would be received really well.

2TB would be great specially if for some reason PRO comes digital.and Physical. 1TB is not enought specially for digital one.

I bought an Xbox One X at launch. MS did a really good job of hyping up the power and demonstrating how it will automatically boost many games even if they never receive a One X patch. Pretty much any game that had dynamic resolution on would not run locked at 1080p, like DOOM 2016, Battlefield One, and so on. Plus the load times were slightly improved and there was some extra CPU grunt although not much.

MS and DF worked together and that was enough to convince me to get one, and the claims were all true.

So if the PS5 Pro is real and they want my money, it needs to be the same sort of experience. Every game sees a boost just by virtue of running on the machine, even if its something simple like hitting the fps cap or maximum resolution target. Obviously patched games will look great, that isn't a concern I have -- but its really important that my existing library performs better right out of the box.

With a usable 1TB, it would be nice, but I don't think they'd upgrade the HDD though. I hope to be wrong, but upgrading the HDD or transferring over the disk from the PS5 might be the first thing to do. People probably aren't thinking about buying another m.2 for the Pro

 

[LordBritish]

you would think they would of announced this already...

the slim has 1TB btw. so currently they are already doing that.

Xbox one X is the Best Console Microsoft has produced to date. Mine still rocks (got the Scorpio versión). What You Say is true...got the One X because every improve offered was true. But most important the improvement was notable.

I'd expect that many of us who are upgrading will simply be moving over the 2-4tb drives we already own. Smaller storage will primarly be an issue for people new to the ecosystem.

Hard agree. I migrated my One X downstairs after I got my Series X. Installed a 2tb SSD and now its a perfectly fine secondary gaming device/blu ray player.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

2Tb makes no sense for the retail unit. It makes the entry price higher than necessary. Everyone can upgrade his drive on his own up to 8tb.

Wait really? Lol I had no clue and I've had a slim for like .. 6 months. Nice.

 

[TheRedRiders]

I agree they have been incognito for the most part .

But here is the problem.
We just learned there wont be any showcase for a while, instead just another state if play which is phatetic.

I dont see them using the tokyo game show for a reveal so what does that leave us with?

Only time will tell.

Geff Jrubb is a dubious source - he has a decent track record when it comes to certain Sony events like SOP, but I doubt any leaker knows what Sony is planning over the next few months in regards to major hardware releases and the reveal dates surrounding them.

I concur 1TB is what it should be, big waste of money on the bill of material to go 2TB. Having two slots for expansion would be nice, I'd pop in a 2TB right now and a 4TB in 3-4 years.

They should just call it the PS6 been so long now PS5 feels like an ancient piece of tech from yesteryear mine is so loud and rattles along trying its best on its knees trying to upscale from 720p for 60fps.

Sorry pal, anyone that thinks that it's delayed or canceled is no friend of mine. It's coming this holiday, prepare your wallet.

I am ready since last year.
I have over a dozen games on hold cuz of this.

But i am getting tired and have to start dipping into my backlog which is not ideal.
Looking at alan wake 2 here.

Fine it will release this year so you can be my friend again

It would be pretty awful if they spent money on storage instead of specs

 

[playsaves3]

Also that money could be a used to make the specs better I actually hope this in untrue

 

[Quantum253]

I would think storage would be last thing they invest money in since they already put the ability in easily upgrading, which is fine with me because I hate proprietary storage solutions

Now this is where the pro should actually upgrade and take it a step further and increase the max storage capacity to 16tb for an m.2

If she would know i wouldnt have any.
She would have pawned it for manolos by now lol

 

[kevboard]

lol.
yeah, it's 1TB. I guess they didn't need those special SSDs anymore that limited the storage space before

 

[SwordofOlympus]

Is this thing ever coming out? I am sick of 'dynamic' resolutions.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Will this ever be a thing?

 

[onQ123]

You do know they already changed it to 1TB in the slim model right?

 

[Loxus]

lol.

Everything should be the same except for the Nand chips and maybe the number of channels.

In the OG PS5 each Nand Chip has 2 dies @ 512 Gibi bit. Not to be confused with Giga bits.

Each channel is a lane that connects to a die, so two channels connects to a Nand chip.

512 × 12-channels ÷ 8 (to convert bits to bytes) = 768 GiB (Gibi bytes)

1 GiB = 1.074 GB
768 × 1.074 = 824.832 or 825GB


With the new PS5, it has 4 Nand chips with 4 dies @ 512 Gibi bit per Nand chip this time around.

4 nand chips × 4 dies = 16-channels.
512 × 16-channels ÷ 8 = 1,024 GiB
1024 × 1.074 = 1,099.776 or 1.1TB
Not to sure why Sony doesn't list it as such.

Not to sure about the speed though.
Techpowerup has a lot of details on the SSD.
Sony Playstation 5 825 GB
Die Read Speed: 551 MB/s
Die Write Speed: 57 MB/s

Sony Playstation 5 SLIM 1 TB
Die Read Speed: 1600 MB/s
Die Write Speed: 164 MB/s

 

[Preseznik]

I too would prefer putting resources into more "grunt" (for example, VR performance which is probably last on the list) instead of already easily upgradable storage.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Obviously talking about the Vita 2.

A Vita 2 or some type of native PlayStation handheld seems more realistic to me than a PS5 pro.

I just don’t see what they could do with a ps5 pro to justify it. How many people will buy a new console just to get a solid 60 fps lol and they still can’t alienate the current ps5 owners.

 

[RoadHazard]

2TB would be great specially if for some reason PRO comes digital.and Physical. 1TB is not enought specially for digital one.

There is no difference between disc and digital, the games take up the same amount of storage either way.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Ok, same excuse for HFW?

PS5 performs better than 3070 and even using a 1.45x multiple from said baseline we are above 4070S territory.

One could say the same for Death Stranding which also runs on Decima engine. This is why I am very optimistic for DS2 running on PS5 Pro. I think this game could surprise people. I am expecting 4070S RT level of performance.

[Daniel_Mallorca1985]

Thus, we can see a design very similar to that of the PS5 Slim. The same white color will be found on the exterior of the console. 2 USB-C ports and the power button will also be present on the front of the console.

The first difference that we can notice in our sketch is the presence of three black bands in the middle of the exterior facades of the PS5 Pro. The type of exterior facade, however, remains similar to that of the PS5 Slim. And we imagine that it is possible to reuse the replacement front plates designed for the PS5 Slim.

The other difference that we can only see in the final image of the PS5 Pro has to do with its thickness. In fact, the PS5 Pro looks a little thicker than the PS5 Slim.

Unfortunately, we are still not sure about this point. Because indeed, the image we have comes from a PS5 Pro without a disc reader. However, although we think it will not be so, we do not know the existence of an edition with a disc player. Although it will undoubtedly be possible to add a disc reader (like the PS5 Slim).

We think it is rather a commercial choice of Sony to launch this console at a competitive price, reducing costs thanks to the presence (optional for some) of a disc player.

 

[No_Cartridge]

Bill-Bil Kun PS5 PRO

TL;DR:

• Announcement in the first half of September

• Design is slightly thicker than the PS5 Slim, with three stripes down the middle instead of one

• They have seen the box for a model without a disc-drive and can't verify if one with a disc-drive exists yet

 

[MostlyPeaceful]

 

[TheRedRiders]

Slightly thicker than the slim which means it's smaller than the original PS5 - that's impressive considering the they've doubled the CU count, slightly faster CPU clocks and memory. 5nm?

 

[Robbit_80]

This thing better have a SKU with a Blu-ray drive or the ability to at least fit one or this is DOA for me. 90% of my games are physical.
