Get that weak shit off my track
My wife tracked down a PS5 via Walmart Plus back in May as a birthday gift for me. Unfortunately, after finishing up Ghost of Tsushima on PS4, from June in to July I had a stretch where I worked 25 out of 27 days due to forced overtime. Because of that, the only games I've played have been the Astro's Playroom game/tech demo, and I've started playing the PS5 version of the 2018 God of War.
In storage weirdness, I bought an Adata XPG Gammix S70 Blade 2 TB, which was well reviewed and is advertised as PS5 compatible. However, my PS5 refused to recognize it. It worked fine in an external housing when plugged in to my laptop, and didn't need a firmware update, so I returned it.
I bought a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB, because it was on sale during Amazon Prime Day. The PS5 detected and formatted it right away, getting 6511 MB/s of the rated "up to 7,000 MB/s" read speed. Hell if I know why my PS5 detected 1 PCIe Gen 4 SSD and not another, but at least this one works, and my PS5 doesn't have a bum expansion port.
Unrelated to PlayStation 5, but posting this here because believe it or not I couldn't find a PS4 thread...
But, I bought a PS4 and a Kambrook tower fan on the same day in the same transaction about 8 or 9 years ago, circa 2014.
That fan got dragged from my bedroom to the loungeroom and back again every freakin day in summer for 7 or more years, until I moved to a house with stairs in-between my room and the lounge, facilitating the purchase of a second Kambrook tower fan so that they each had their own spot.
Well, this morning that original tower fan would not switch on. I had it on all day yesterday allowing for some air to circulate for the cats while I was at work. The digital readout display works like there's nothing wrong, but the blade rotates ever so slowly like the bearing has gone kaput or something. Dead... and replaced already this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the PS4 I bought that day got some good use. I replaced it with a PS4 Pro in 2018 and sold the old one along with a brand new controller to my brother, who continues to use it every day for hours on end. It's still going strong.
As they used to say, it was...
AWESOME VALUE
