SanDisk has unveiled its officially licensed Optimus GX PRO 850P NVMe SSD lineup for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro. The drives are designed to expand console storage when users insert them into their PS5, and they are also compatible with PCs. The series is offered in multiple capacities, including 1TB up to 8TB. Pricing for the highest-capacity model is reported as especially steep, with the 8TB SSD listed around $2,960, putting the cost well above the price of a PS5 Pro according to the outlets covering the announcement. One report notes the largest drive can store up to about 200 PS5 games, based on average installation sizes, reflecting SanDisk’s stated storage capacity estimate rather than a specific game count. Another outlet highlights that the SSDs are the product of official testing and licensing, positioning them as an “install and use” storage upgrade. Across sources, the main common themes are the official licensing for PS5 hardware support and the high cost of the top-tier 8TB model.
