Re: PS5 SSD: How to Install an Internal SSD and Expand Your Storage

PhhhCough

From hothardware.com:
Reddit user DanCTapirson achieved results as high as 6,072 MB/sec with a 250GB Samsung Pro SSD. However, you would be well advised to heed Sony's warning regarding installing a heatsink on your SSD of choice due to high temperature readings, which were confirmed with these user tests.
DanCTapirson stated that with an ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, idle temperatures for the 980 Pro hovered between 55 to 59 degrees. However, temperatures while writing (i.e., transferring games to the SSD) soared to 74 degrees. Read temperatures weren't much lower at 72 degrees while playing Returnal.

Given these results, he decided to slap on a double-sided aluminum heatsink that was within the clearance specs provided by Sony. With this modification, idle temperatures dropped to around 44 degrees, while read/write temperatures settled at 50 degrees, which is a dramatic improvement.
Performance was equivalent to the ps5 internal ssd

Comments is too long, don't know if this is there or not, but here you go, from playstation support page:

Re: Detroit: Become Human Tops Six Million Sales Across PS4, PC

@LiamCroft I guess they ignore it, cause it doesn't fit they're narrative

@uptownsoul why does it matter? Want justification for your premature purchase? Will knowing how many units were moved, make your gaming more enjoyable? They're all rhetorical, meaning you have no need to respond.

Re: Action Arcade Wrestling Grapples with PS4 from 10th August

PhhhCough

@BionicDodo it's like everyone forgot about firepro. One of the greatest wrestling series. And retromania, I hear it's an "8", a great homage, but a lack of create a wrestler and the small roster hinders it. But I hear the control scheme is similar to firepro. Timing for grapples, and starting with low, then mid, then power moves.

Re: FIFA 22 PS4 to PS5 Upgrade Locked Behind £90 Ultimate Edition

PhhhCough

I get it, people who buy the ps4 copy, of any game, want an easy upgrade path to the ps5 version. And until ps5' are easily available, I feel this should still be an option, free option. But sony's follies aren't the developers job to pick up the slack. And to think devs and studios, will forego a revenue stream, is asinine.

Re: Bots Will Pad Out Battlefield 2042's 128 Player PS5 Servers

Show me a video of 128 bots in a rush match. If you can show me the bots working in cohesion, reviving, capturing, defending, etc., then we might feel more comfortable with bots in games. Til then the bots might just cannon fodder, which would eat up valuable tickets for actual players.
