SanDisk’s new PlayStation 5 SSD will cost you more than three PS5 Pros

The 8TB version of SanDisk's new Optimus GX PRO 850P NVMe SSD is a significant upgrade for PlayStation 5 gamers, offering the ability to store hundreds of games. However, this luxury comes at a steep price, with the 8TB model reportedly costing more than three base PS5 consoles. This development underscores the growing trend of gamers prioritizing storage capacity and performance over the initial cost of the console. The Optimus GX PRO 850P NVMe SSD boasts impressive specifications, including read and write speeds of up to 7000MB/s and 6900MB/s, respectively. While this may be a worthwhile investment for serious gamers, it remains to be seen whether the added cost will be justified for the average consumer.
