There isn't any compatible internal drives for the PS5 yet, I would hold off and not take the risk, as Sony hasn't released a compatible list yet.

The good thing is you can use an external as PS5 game cold storage, that's what I do.

WD SN850 is certified to be compatible

By WD that is…

It’s on a money back guarantee anyway so no loss

Not what I've read as Sony hasn't said yet and sites that mention it say probably or briefly said to be compatible but then removed.

Also there maybe noise and heat issues with using an internal as Sony has tweaked the firmware to boost the internal fan speed when 1 is installed.

My opinion after using a PS5 since day one is an internal isn't needed when you can store on an external and it only takes a few mins to move when you wish to play and any PS4 game can be played from an external, I don't yet have space issues.

You will love the Dualsense controller though the haptics are so good and different, make sure you play Astro bot that comes free it really shows how good it is.

Re: What have you just bought?

Just bought a 2018 Audi A3 1.5 Sportback S Line COD in Black, looks like a new car and will hopefully collect it on Monday subject to payment clearing on time, It's replacing a 2010 Astra VXR so it is a huge upgrade in spec and fuel economy and didn't want to risk buying a diesel.

A desktop easel, canvas and some new acrylic paints and brushes. Plus a new gaming chair and some sleek rollerblade caster wheels for it.

Re: What have you just bought?

A good size pink hydrangea to replace a weigela shrub that the winter wrote off. Two geraniums and two dahlias to go into the tubs on the patio. Instant gratification.

Some pot plant bases and a length of 10x10mm square section aluminium tube to repair my sisters table umbrella.

Two of the three hydrangeas we planted late last summer look like they’re not going to flower this year thanks to a late winter frost. The only one that’s flowering now is the one that didn’t lose all its new leaves to frostbite. Still, at least they’re all still alive, and we have a huge one already that we planted about 10 years ago so we know they do well despite the highland weather (though our acidic soil tends to make the flowers go purple regardless of their natural colour).
