So you have to ask you the extent to which you can do without physical disks. Considering, however, that the internal hard disk space of both models is limited.
Is there the PS5 in black too?
So far, Sony has announced the PS5 only in white, from a black model was not the speech so far. But of course, diverse fans and graphic artists have not stopped to design or even render black models themselves. A design of a black PS5 has even succeeded that fans even want to send it Sony.
Meanwhile, several unofficial dealers have tried to offer a black PS5, or colored Face Plates. Really smooth but this does not work so far, so: order at your own risk! It can be good that today's dealer deletes the shop and customers the opportunity to reclaim their money.

Hardware specs - the technical data of the PS5
The exact hardware details of the PlayStation 5 were already revealed by Sony's console architect Mark Cerny already in March 2020. Here is the most important data for performance:
- CPU: Eightkern Zen 2 with 3.5 GHz clocking
- GPU: 10.28 Teraflops, 36 CUS (RDNA 2)
- Memory: 16GB GDDR6
- Hard Disk: 825GB SSD (available only 667.2 GB)
- Erw. Memory: SSD slot
- Drive: 4K UHD Blu-ray-Drive
For comparison: The standard PS4 comes straight to 1.84 Teraflops, the Pro to 4.2 Teraflops.

Info about the CPU: The Zen 2 CPU comes from manufacturer AMD and contains 8 computation, just like the PS4 Pro. It was probably not necessary here simply, finally the Zen architecture ensures that the PS5 is likely to run significantly faster even with the same clock rate.
PlayStation 5-SSD ensures more speed
Although the storage capacity is slightly reduced compared to the PS4 Pro and the Xbox Series X, as John Linnemann announced from Digital Foundry on Twitter, the speed of the hard drive (5,5GB / s RAW / 9GB / S compressed) is still "the craziest The PS5 ". Not only is she from the pure values already very fast, the SSD should be a lot faster than those of the Xbox Series X.
Speed Example: To make the SSD speed tangible, here is the example of Cerny from the March Stream: 1GB data previously loaded from the PS4 in 20 seconds, now 2GB of data should now be in 0.27 Seconds are processed.
But what new possibilities arise through the SSDs - and how much will we really notice in games in the long term? Exactly these questions are trying to answer in our great special for you:

More memory space? The SSD hard disk space of the PS5 can be extended by the way. With commercially available, external SSDs, which are checked by Sony for compatibility. However, that will be possible only after the launch.
Faster data processing speed: Thanks to SSD, according to Sony statements, the PS5 is even 100 times faster than the PS4. Thus, Sony refers to the data processing speed of the Next Gen console (not the loading speed in games). What the fast SSD means for us players, we explain to you in a separate Test article:

The storage space usage of the PS5 has become more economical by the type of game installation.
