Support NeoGAF

[VictorVectors]

Not sure allowing game installs across multiple drives will ever be allowed, and for good reason.

Oh the OS can still see the two devices as separate and ensure single titles remain on the same device... just hide that information from me the user and tell me total storage size. Easy.

 

[ViolentP]

More and more VRR capable TVs on the market today, so people are kinda pissed the support isn't there on ps5.

This makes sense. New features don't want to go unused.

 

[El gallo]

You thinking this is in any way analogous to 1984 is unbelievably hilarious though. Thank you for making me laugh so hard this morning.

lmao is it? Your a apologist. To the core. The thought you think over 9 months later and this "feature" of unlocking memory access is still not available and its ok says everything.

Fuck the gym/ i see how you built.

That feature is kind of a game changer though

No doubt. I play primarily on PC because for me, performance was always king. It's only now that I am seeing console owners clamoring for a fix to tearing and pushing for 60fps. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of them, it all just sorta hit at the same time which is what I found surprising.

You need help for real. Seek it.

Take your own advice

Firmware just dropped! Downloading now!

Spoiler

Just kidding

 

[dano1]

Because it's video games and not anything actually important in life. The updates comes when it comes. Life moves on.

Bite your tongue

Bite your tongue

Ouch!

 

[El gallo]

Finally hallelujah!!!!

Hey guys. The WD Black SN850 1TB is currently at $165 on Amazon; Is it a good deal or can I expect a bigger drop on Black Friday?

The 500gb is $89.99
I didn't see anything on these drives dropping on BF but I wouldn't be surprised with $79.99 and $149.99

 

[MaKTaiL]

Without. I'll get a heatsink separately which is much cheaper.

I'm afraid of waiting and either running out of stock or increasing in price again. I think I'll get it.

I have the same one. Possible you get it cheaper later, but I wouldn't chance passing up what is already a good price (I paid 199 in summer). There might be a rush on those things for holiday gifts.

So I just bought the SN850 and I was wondering if I should plug it in my PC first to update its firmware and then put it on PS5. What did you do with yours?

I installed the drive on my PC and updated the firmware and after that installed the drive into my PS5. Don't know If this makes a difference because who knows If the NVME stays on the newest firmware after the process.

Wasn't the Samsung drive the only one that needed the update?

There's also an update available for the SN850.

But it was for fixing writing speeds.

I know the 980 showed a difference pre and post-patch. Did the sn850?

Thank you. I'll do the same just to be safe.
