    I'll clear this up, the internal SSD of the PS5 has faster read and write times than external SSDs. It's around 7000MB/s. The WD Black P50 is 2000MB/s, which is why it was faster to copy the games over to the external SSD, than copy games back to the internal console SSD through the external SSD. You will need an internal M.2 SSD like the SN850 to play PS5 games.

    So you gonna tell me I can get the T7 Samsung for like $150 or so and it works on the ps5 no problem? Meanwhile a WD P50 is like $300. Wouldn’t ppl just buy the Samsung if they work exactly the same? Am I missing something?

    Great video. But as i test it before you can use your external ssd with those two usb 3.2 in the back of the ps5 too. Just buy a female type c to male regular usb converter and you can connect those external ssd to the back of the ps5. The speed is the same because despite the front usb 2.0 that just for changing the controllers the other two usb 3.2 in the back and type c in the front are all have 10GB speed support. 😃👍

    The P50 marketed speed isn't supported by the PS5 so don't get the P50 for PS5. It's simply overkill and you won't be able to take advantage of it's highest speeds.
