What’s Inside the PS5?

You can also slide off the white panels on both sides of the console. If you do, you’ll see the main cooling fan, sitting at the top. This fan draws air from either side. If you’re afraid of dust getting into your machine, the PS5 has two dust catchers. Just vacuum out the dust through a pair of holes.
Expandable Storage
The teardown also gives you a look at the expandable storage. Once you remove the side panels, you’ll see the M.2 slot for extra storage. If you buy a PS5, you can get PCI3 4.0 drives to get extra storage.
A lot of the PS5’s parts are removable. You can remove the Blu-ray drive and the 350-watt power supply. You also have easy access to the console’s processor, memory, and SSD sections. For cooling, you can watch these first videos to check out the PS5’s cooling system.
