So...someone who is working with the manufacturer to resolve an issue on a pre-launch piece of hardware is reporting that...they haven't finished working with the manufacturer? I think the outcome is what people would want to know, maybe they should wait until then, versus trying to gain attention on shitter.

Imagine all those millions of PS5's having this issue....... This is just an incident though , i have to read just one review of a reputable site where this actually happened.

and everything seems to point to the (Samsuing) SSD failing....
I knew it - they should have gone with Samsung in the first place, instead of this cheap trash.

Well SSD can die, that is not a news. My macbook died of SDD and was 1 yold. 1 incident does not make a full product flaw.

Not surprising at all. Here's the LEGIT answers to everyone's questions that asked months ago, why were Sony so closed lip on info on the performance, etc. for the PS5 as it reaches its launch date a couple of months ago. Now, we know why.
This post make no sense, sony was never close lip on performance, and even if it was, performance is not reliability

There are going to be failures, that is the nature of technology, and it won't mean much while under warrenty, but outside warrenty is when this becomes a pain to keep up and running, moreso almost impossible if you have no soldering experience....but i would say a revised model of the PS5 will at some point in the next few years dump the fixed to mobo and have a removable ssd.

After the robocop, terminator and rambo (in MK), now we have a PS5 Fatality.

Well, this is way it´s always better to wait instead of buying stuff right at release. Although i can understand the temptation to get one.

I'm confused. Is Samsung cheap trash or should they have used the brand they are already using?
Hilbert made a typo and wrote "Samsuing", so I took the initiative.

Is it the SSD that is part of the motherboard and can't be replaced? Karma didn't take long to strike back.
Direct soldered storage is nothing new. Phones use it, and there are even laptops and other systems that do this.

This is my fear when buying a console: SSD fails, all console goes to the bin. Meanwhile my mom computer PSU blow up a couple years ago (literally), bought a new PSU: PC still functions for a couple more years until I replaced it.

They should have gone with a traditional sata SSD until m.2 has matured. Loading times wise an m.2 is only 1 second faster anyways.

Meanwhile Xbox just went with a simple m.2 slot

@TheDeeGee ? lol, even at only 3rd gen x4 is ~3500MB/s vs ~550MB/s. not sure where you get 1s difference, unless of course you play 8 bit games..
