I feel your pain, but Sony has suggested SSDs for a reason. Especially with a console, don’t get whatever is the cheapest. Wait for the suggested brands to go on sale. I think the Western Digital 2tb is on sale now on Amazon.
Dumbass Sony’s PS5 Update fukked Up My Expansion SSD

huh??? they’ve done so since 2021
as far as i know this was the first.
Western Digital and Sony Interactive Entertainment Release First Officially Licensed M.2 SSD for the PlayStation 5 Console | Western Digital
Western Digital Corp. and Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (“SIE”) teamed up to deliver the industry’s first official PlayStation®-licensed M.2 SSD for PlayStation®5 (PS5™) to gamers across the globe.
Then what’s the point of an “open” system if you should only use the official drives endorsed by sony??
Unless there's been alot of situations where ps5s were Bricking ssds, then it's reasonable to assume the problem is with the ssd and not the console.Reviews of the drive say it’s just fine. Even recommend it for PS5
It’s weird to come in here and attack dude for doing what any normal consumer would do. The brand of his SSD probably isn’t even the reason it’s broken right now.
That’s just what sony stan’s ran in here to concentrate on cause no way in hell it could be playstations fault
I just looked it up and this doesn't seem to be a common issue with ps5s, op most likely bought a defective ssd.
It happens.
Op says it was fine for over a year and there are reports of people having issues. I just don’t think it’s very widespread at this point.
hadn’t played my ps5 in a while, but good to see it’s still working unlike OP 
There are very few reports of people having these issues.
You can find people having issues with ssds in literally every brand if you wanted to.
OP bought a budget drive and it failed fairly quickly, has nothing to do with ps5s Bricking hard drives.
Maybe, maybe not. Again the drive came recommended by numerous sites. Was even voted as the “best” drive for PS5 on some sites. And there’s some reports of people having problems with samsung drives too.
Again no telling how widespread.
Rushing in to blame it on the drive, and blaming op like he purchased some cheap ass drive off of wish is some sony stan deflection shyt
Pull Up the Roots
I have a good time when I go out of my mind..
Why does anyone waste their time with Meach? Dude is a concern trolling fraud.
Goofball Sony ponies shyt talking Adata when this is what their officially licensed "partner" for their on brand price inflated scam SSD is known for:
Check your SSDs: What to know about the SanDisk/Western Digital data loss disaster
Why Are SanDisk Extreme SSDs Reportedly Erasing Users Data?
SanDisk Extreme SSDs are “worthless,” multiple lawsuits against WD say
Just admit the fact that Playstation's memory architecture has been basura since the PS3 in 2006 and keep it moving. 
Sorry you had to find out the hard way OP

Sorry you had to find out the hard way OP Breh, dude came in here blaming the ps5 update when he bought a cheap ass drive with lots of complaints. And you're trying to use his example to paint a picture that ps5 fukks up ssds.Maybe, maybe not. Again the drive came recommended by numerous sites. Was even voted as the “best” drive for PS5 on some sites. And there’s some reports of people having problems with samsung drives too.

I don't care if "some sites" voted it best budget drive for ps5. This is usually what happens when you buy wish.com quality hardware to save a few bucks.

sorry to hear about that man the 2TB samsung one i bought was on sale on amazon not too long ago for 99 go check it out.This was the cheapest SSD they had at the time so I bought it. Gonna get WD or Samsung next time.
That’s not a “cheap ass drive with lots of complaints”
That’s what y’all are calling it to deflect from the possibility that it could have been his PS5.
Weirdo behavior.
I’m not trying to paint anything. That’s your sony stan defense mechanism malfunctioning.
All i commented on was the irony of y’all bragging about an open platform for the chance of cheap competition, then turn around and say anyone who doesn’t buy the officially endorsed expensive drive deserves to have their shyt not work.
Sony stan’s really got issues
Nah this just Cary over fromHL
I need some backstory on this
I can’t believe dude don’t have a ps5 he’s like top 3 Sony fanboy on here
And OT if you don’t got a WD or Seagate SSD you pouring jelly on yourself. What tf is adata? nikkas buying ali baba peripherals for their system?
