I'm lookin to expand PS5 memory. So other than being "licensed by PS5" and having a blue LED instead of red. I don't see any difference with the 1 TB WDBAPZ0010BNC that is currently less expensive. Am I missing something? null

Question

Nope, exactly the same module.  Why pay more?

JoseS · Answer

The only difference is that one is licensed to be an official upgrade for the ps5. But in reality there are both the same product. Its just an excuse to charge more money.

James · Answer

It’s just an extra way of them making money to have to ps5 stamp of approval. They’re the same.

Nope, people who buy this one are just paying the extra money to have a blue led on the packaging and the licensed for PS5 crap on it. I got the red one on Saturday and installed it with 0 issues.
