You'll also need a bit of DIY know-how, with some screwdrivers from the PS5's outer plates needed to insert the SSD inside the console, so there's still no option. Sony also assumes no responsibility for the actual operation of its M.2 SSD, stating that "SIE cannot guarantee that all M.2 SSD devices meeting the specifications described will work with your console and assumes no responsibility for the selection, performance or use of third party products."
