GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, announces today that its AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD is fully compliant with PS5 M.2 storage expansion. With the read speed of 7000 MB/s and maximum storage capacity of 2 TB far beyond specification requirements, it allows users to enjoy the best gaming experience.

Enhanced by the latest generation PCIe 4.0 controller with advanced 3D-TLC NAND Flash, The AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD boosts more performance than previous generation PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. It equips big aluminium thermal interface in different sizes and double side thermal pad with Nanocarbon coating for improved heat dissipation. In response to the latest announcement from Sony for the compatibility of M.2 SSD storage extensions on PS5, GIGABYTE engineers has further verified the original structure and performance of AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD to be the perfect choice of M.2 storage expansion for PS5. In addition, the read speed of up to 7000 MB/s ensures users with optimized data accessing and smoother gaming experience.
"In the current market, we see more and more PS5 games occupy lager than 100 GB capacity, which bothers users with insufficient space to install all their favorite games due to the storage capacity limitation of PS5. In this case, the PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD expansion provides a smart solution for this trouble."Said Jackson Hsu, Director of the GIGABYTE Channel Solutions Product Development Division. "AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD complies with PS5 expansion specifications in terms of appearance, performance and thermal design. It provides large capacity up to 2 TB with easy installation, which allows users enjoy sufficient game storage space."

AORUS Gen4 7000s SSDs have been launched to the market in the early 2021, and users who have already purchased can use it for PS5 storage expansion directly. GIGABYTE also updates the optimized firmware on the official site. Users can download the file from the following link to optimize their AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD for superior experience.

Silicon shortage. No one seriously mines on a console.
This source agrees:

Others (Mythbusters style) rate the idea as plausible.

Yes, you can mine cryptocurrency with your PlayStation 4 console, a few super powerful processors, and a lot of electricity. Ukrainian authorities revealed the discovery of a huge farm dedicated to cryptocurrency mining

However whether the consoles are being used to mine coins or earn game currency that can be sold, the consoles are being misused.

I know for a fact it's possible. I will reiterate though: no one on earth does it seriously. It's not even profitable in most instances. Buying scalper cards would be more practical.

Yes, but blaming crypto for one oddball FIFA-currency earning scam is like blaming the Sun for burning your hand on the stovetop.

trsttteNo, they were right to go with an open standard. In the future prices will continuously decrease, with the closed xbox solution you're stuck with what they give you at the price they decide, or get a knockoff which will have the same problems.
console player are average laymen users, they woundt know any any better than a proprietary solution, every major ssd brand have over a dozen models of a PCI ssd, that intimidates average gamer.
trsttteThey included a performance benchmark to measure reads, which is what will matter most during gameplay. If anything, SSD brands doing component swaps will more easily get caught because the drives will be tested more often.
like i said, every major ssd bran caught swapping componets are are as much as half performance once cach is draned, in a year ssd recomendations might be not true because those ssds might have been swapped, with a proprietary solution, its a guaranteed quality control

Manufacturers will want to meet ps5 requirements and competition will drive prices down. If console players are more laymen than average gamers there's always an opportunity to learn, it takes like 5 minutes to put a new ssd in - the new ps5 revision even uses some kind of quick release mechanism to facilitate the task.

Let's not excuse or allow for planned market monopolies on the account of user ignorance, they can learn, it they don't there's a number of shops that can profit from the easy job. I guess everyone who's defending the xbox solution will change their tune once the prices of pcie 4.0 SSDs start dropping next year and the seagate proprietary solution still costs more or less the same

The very open solution you are defending opens the laymen console gamer to all the monopolies you claim, like i said every major ssd brand caught swapping components for cheaper nand, even if they did their research deciding to buy a good Samsung or WD, then surprised performance is stuttery, latet to be shocked they got scammed with a swapped SSD directly from the manufacturer they trusted, most brand were caught doing it.

With a proprietary solution its guaranteed quality control, a console does no need to be complicated, i respect sony for making it an open solution, but with how wildly different SSD specs are, and even the most respected ones are being swapped without notice that's going to create a lot of back lash

Just buy a SSD that has the ps5 logo on it. Return it if it does not work as advertised. Pretty simple.
Also, ”all the monopolies” is not a thing. There either is A monopoly, or no monopoly. See: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly
