One of the issues the base PS5 has always struggled with is the measly internal SSD it has, coming in at just 825GB. It's not really enough space to have multiple PS5 titles installed at once, especially given how large the likes of Call of Duty can get. The situation got worse, though, when it was revealed that only 667GB of that space was actually available for you to use, with the rest taken up by system operations.
Tomorrow's new PS5 Pro has more than doubled the SSD size to 2TB, and this time around, Sony is actually letting you use the vast, vast majority of that space for your own needs. As spotted by Techradar, with its full report available in our Round Up of PS5 Pro reviews, it's shared that the PS5 Pro offers 1.89TB of storage for your PS5 games, save data, and captured media.

The outlet has run the numbers and worked out that the PS5 Pro provides you access to 94.5% of the SSD, as opposed to the 80% you can use on the base PS5. If you're then also carrying over a purchased SSD from the original console, it sounds like you'll be set for the rest of the generation in terms of storage space.

Cool. I'll be transfering my current 2tb ssd too and my 4tb drive stacked with PS4 titles. Looks like I'm not going to want
