Just get a 2TB external HDD for cold storage. Costs under $60. Has a max speed of 120MB/s. Would literally take you under 7 mins to copy a 50GB file over to it or back. 

I think either of these companies putting anything more than 1TB as SSDs in these consoles now would have ben super stupid. Its a totally unnecessary place to spend money for something that can easily user-managed.

With an average size of 75GB, the PS5 should able to store at least 10 games at a time. Just get an external HDD and call it a day. 

Hopefully, the OS has a feature where it detects an external HDD used for cold storage and automatically moves games onto it that hasn't been played after a user-defined time.

How is the base memory of a brand new console only able to hold 10-12 games something in any way acceptable? I'm not sure whose fault is it, the developers who are dedicating less and less time to optimising space, or the publishers that are allowing it, but this is not something sustainable.

We had much worse case in the past. And in case you don`t know the average tie ratio is 12 games per console on a 6 year base. So this SDD size is totally ok.
