The Sony Playstation 5 is a solid-state drive in the Embedded form factor, launched on November 12th, 2020. It is only available in the 825 GB capacity listed on this page. With the rest of the system, the Sony Playstation 5 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the Sony Titania II (CXD90062GG) from Marvell, a DRAM cache chip is available. Sony has installed 96-layer TLC NAND flash on the Playstation 5, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are processed more quickly. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. .
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The TBW rating for the Sony Playstation 5 825 GB is unknown, too.

Notes

Drive:

9 GB/s compressed.
5.5 GB/s RAW

Controller:

Designed by Marvell
Flash speed could vary from 533 MTps ~ 667 ~ 800 MTps since 533 MTps would be enough to provide over 5,5 GB/s sequential read throughput. And it would have a lower cost.

NAND Die:

Read latency tR: 58 µs (ABL)
tPROG with ~ 25% Overhead: ~ 750 µs (Avg - 42.7 MB/s per each die)
