PlayStation 5 Gets Its First 8TB Expansion Drive as Storage Costs Plummet

SanDisk's officially licensed Optimus GX PRO 850P has reached 8TB capacity for PS5 expansion—a tier that became economically viable only as PCIe 4.0 flash memory prices fell sharply. Heavy gamers who routinely deleted and reinstalled titles to manage storage constraints now have genuine breathing room. Official pricing and release date remain unannounced, but the product marks flash storage maturation in console markets.
