Pfff, don't be delusional, no chance, what it will get, it is doxx, hate, cancel and harassment from usual cult.Let's see if this video gets even 5% of the attention the PS5 FUD video got. It was plastered everywhere with tons of articles about it.
Well this was posted a month ago and this is the first I'm hearing of it, so already no.Let's see if this video gets even 5% of the attention the PS5 FUD video got. It was plastered everywhere with tons of articles about it.
But how do we replace the built-in memory on the ps5? Or can it run with only the nvme drive?So, uh...seems like I might've been wrong here. Louis Rossman (a tech Youtuber I know of and have watched content of in the past, he seems to know his stuff quite well) weighed in on this video and it seems like this is actually a pretty serious problem for Xbox consoles.
Basically, if you try to replace the internal SSD on the X or S with a 3P one, and there's a firmware update to the system, there's a very high chance the system will fail to boot. I suppose MS have encrypted very specific OS and BIOS keys into the factory internal storage of all Series systems, and if you don't clone the drive before swapping with a replacement, a firmware update could end up bricking the console.
This doesn't seem like a mechanical failure or material failure like the RROD for 360 (or the YLOD on PS3, which was less frequent but still too frequent in itself), but rather an intentional design limitation implemented by Microsoft. They don't want people to mess with the systems themselves, but are also doing it to nickel and dime owners of the hardware.
They've faced similar criticisms with the Surface devices; given Xbox Series involved the Surface hardware team, I guess this isn't too surprising :/
I don't think its an issue, a nvme SSD has a lifespan of like 300+ TBW and thats on the low end. It'd take 20+ years for the internal ssd to fail and by then you'll be able to easily flash custom firmware on to these consoles.So, uh...seems like I might've been wrong here.

The one in the Xbox is already failing apparently.. and silicone lottery.I don't think its an issue, a nvme SSD has a lifespan of like 300+ TBW and thats on the low end. It'd take 20+ years for the internal ssd to fail and by then you'll be able to easily flash custom firmware on to these consoles.
That's wild if true, but I still don't really trust this clown (not Louis). I'll wait to see if more reputable sources corroborate thisThe one in the Xbox is already failing apparently.. and silicone lottery.

Because Sony may have picked some much more reliable nand memory, but it will catch up to us at one point or another. .. I don't leave much on my built-in drive, just in case.

Simple, they gonna release an update allowing firmware to be install on external SSD.But how do we replace the built-in memory on the ps5? Or can it run with only the nvme drive?
