Ah I mean 'big' purchases, games and such are normal 'allowance'.
Hello everyone. I purchased an external SSD (Crucial X8 1TB) to play my PS4 games from. Upon removing it from the PS4 after transferring my games, it was all but too hot to hold. Even after just 5 minutes of playing a game off of it on the PS5, it's already on the edge of being too hot to hold.
Is this normal for an external SSD? Will it be safe for the Playstation to be used for quite possibly 12+ hours without pause? I'm concerned it's going to damage something or even possibly start a fire.

Every external SSD I have used in the past only get slightly warm, like lukewarm water to touch.
I bought it anyway. Agreed no more big purchases for me either I've got enough to play.

I haven't had any crashes yet, or any other issues really. Been playing days gone most of the day. Played an hour or so on Destiny 2 before that.
Having said that - one thing I haven't done since getting the PS5 is play a game directly off of the external HDD.

Do you think I should return it to Amazon and request a different one? I've had an extensive look online and can't find much comment from others using this specific model in a PS5

My PS4 Pro would do that but only when plugged in via the PSVR passthrough box.

I’m finding MM smooth as butter even on the fidelity setting. Goes to show that if the hardwares powerful enough to lock at 30fps without any drops to 20fps or so, then the experience is still very good. That’s been the problems of the past consoles imo, not having that solid 30fps lock.
Thanks

My pad ran out of juice today. Its lasted around about 10hrs with breaks to eat lunch/dinner etc. I dont think that is too bad at all.

Yeah, pretty decent.
I have 2 im going between. I much prefer Sony's approach as opposed to MS and the double AAs

Yeah seems normal, not sure why it does it but it does.
One nice little touch I noticed while playing Sackboy with the Mrs was the little white leds just under the touch pad, one lit up for player one and two lit up on player two pad.

That's the beauty of the charging station, haven't seen anything less than 1 bar of battery depleted on mine, when not in use it sits on the charger.
I've been using it from the start, I have been quitting Spiderman before putting it into rest mode though.
