PS5 Slim Teardown: Sony Makes Disk Drive History?

There’s a new PlayStation 5 in town, name of “Slim.” Word is this town just ain’t big enough for two. Time for this fella to ride off into the sunset. For the uninitiated, the new PlayStation 5 doesn’t look much different, certainly not enough to be called Slim. But it does have some nice styling and updated ports for the era of USB-C supremacy.

Thanks to Creative Electron for the awesome X-rays seen in this video!
