The "Tokyo Game Show 2021 Online", which is held for four days from September 30th to October 3rd, also has an offline venue for the press and influencers. Although smaller than usual, each company is exhibiting masterpieces from regulars such as Konami and Capcom to IKEA who participated for the first time. IKEA has already been reported in this media, but I would like to introduce other interesting discoveries. In the second large system software update for PlayStation 5 (PS5) delivered on September 15, we finally supported the expansion of storage with M.2 SSD. As the capacity of game titles increases, the storage capacity of the main unit tends to be exhausted, so many people will be saved. However, a heat dissipation structure such as a heat sink that meets the size requirements is required. It takes a little time to install it by yourself. Under such circumstances, I discovered Nextorage's PS5 compatible built-in SSD "NEM-PA". It was exhibited in the IO Data Device corner in the Happinet booth. Since NEM-PA is an M.2 SSD with an integrated heat sink, it can be installed in the expansion slot of PS5 as it is. In addition, compatibility with PS5 has been confirmed, and it has gained the trust that the image of the PS5 itself can be posted on the package. By the way, the reading speed when installed on PS5 is a performance exceeding 6500MB / s. When I tried moving a game of about 11GB from the main unit to NEM-PA at the venue, it was completed in just about 15 seconds. Even if you actually touch NEM-PA, it is hot enough to touch. Combined with the heat dissipation performance of PS5, it works without problems. Not only will it make up for the lack of capacity on the PS5, but it will also improve performance. However, due to the combination of semiconductor shortage and resale, PS5 remains difficult to obtain at regular price even as of October 1. If this situation improves, it seems that peripheral devices will be improved a little more. (BCN, Ryohei Nagumo)
