Sony has pretty clear requirements when it comes to the read speed of SSDs that can be used to expand the storage of its next-gen PlayStation 5 console. In a new video, Digital Foundry has now tested what exactly happens to the console's gaming performance when you install a PCIe 4.0 SSD that does not meet Sony's required specs.

I just wished they wouldn't lock pcie 3.0 out, it would more than likely be enough for current games with a quality drive and even if it wasn't, it would be more than fine for the abundant ps4 backlog.

Hi Yoyoyo,
you're absolutely correct, but this article is about the WD SN750 SE, which is indeed PCIe 4.0.
