8TB PS5 SSD Made Viable by Flash Memory Price Collapse

SanDisk's officially licensed Optimus GX PRO 850P reaches 8TB capacity for PlayStation 5 expansion, a tier economically impossible in the gaming aftermarket until PCIe 4.0 commodity pricing shifted the cost-per-gigabyte calculus. Heavy gamers with sprawling libraries faced routine delete-and-redownload cycles; 8TB transforms that constraint. Pricing and availability remain unpublished, but the product signals flash storage maturation in console markets.
