[QUOTE="The loafer, post: 295575, member: 1434"] For the uninitiated, there will NOT be a way to run PS5 and XSX games off the external USB drives. These games are designed to take advantage of the internal SSD's so will only work with an SSD drive. IE: in some cases, these drives are used by the XSX/PS5 game very much akin to RAM, so to load the data from the external drive could cripple the game. So both Sony and MS have decreed if it's a next gen game, it needs to use the SSD. Yeah space is an issue. If I understand correctly, SOME games will use less space than the last gen. The reason for this is because the SSD is so fast, games don't need to have multiple identical textures saved in multiple locations to speed up loading times as they are accessible almost instantaneously. and FYI, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale...
