Use NVMe Gen 3 drives - PS5

[Zerpina]

So.... according to SONY, you can only use Gen4 NVMe drives that have transfer speeds of 5.5 GB/s or higher with your PS5. Well, apparently they are just full of Shit. But when has Sony not been full of it?

Ladies and gentlemen... Apache attack helicopters, I present to you, Jon Bringus.

*Just a little caveat here, you need to have a jailbroken PS5 to do this

Thanks for the tip, oh lovely captain.

I don't know what they'd ever win by hiding the fact, but I'm not even surprised anymore.

I don't know if they were actually hiding anything....

The older drive was slower, mind you... by 2 seconds.
But, like Jon said, it might actually be worse for other games, as he only tested one game. Honestly, they could have let you use any NVMe drive and just slapped on a warning that performance may not be as good on older drives.

I feel that "could have" is becoming the key word of this industry.

Sony on alert after watching this because people are starting to tinker on their prize console and knowing it won't be long before it can be fully hacked.

Once that happens all hell will break loose. Floodgates open. Pirates be charging in.
