It appears that my PS5 had no issues that needed to be repaired, which is frustrating for all the hassle and losing some data from the internal drive (some games and capture data). It must be the M2 SSD that's the issue. I plan on returning my SSD if I can and getting a bigger HDD. The internal SSD and a 2 TB HDD Is not enough for me. I'd like to get a 4 or 5 TB HDD and keep the 2 TB HDD as a spare since the PS5 can't use 2 HDDs at once (yet another annoyance).
As frustrating as this all is, the first months of the PS5 with no extra SSD support and no cold storage of PS5 games on HDD seems awful. So, I'm glad I didn't have one then.
