Sony already announced that off the shelf PC SSD that meet PS5 speed specification will work, so no need to "adopt" anything new. PS5 actually has some advanced I/O that isn't quite standard on PC, but also can use PC standard SSD if it's crudely fast enough. If Sony's advanced I/O standard gets popularized on PC that should help prices drop faster since it doesn't need as high of crude speed. |
Samsung has new SSD's on the market that are faster than the Playstation 5.

Yes there are plenty of ways.

USB 3.2 aka USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, thunderbolt 2, external PCI-E are options, ethernet, USB 4.0 has been ratified as well which would provide the necessary bandwidth for the Xbox Series X.
The Playstation 5 would need Thunderbolt 3, External PCI-E, Ethernet or USB 4.0.
