Tom's Hardware has released a step-by-step guide explaining how to install an M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD in a PlayStation 5 to expand storage capacity in 2026. The guide notes that such upgrades are now essential as AAA games grow larger and Sony moves away from physical discs, and confirms that installation with a compatible drive will not void the console's warranty. It also recommends drives like the WD Black SN850X and Samsung 990 Pro, both rated for sequential speeds above 5,500 MB/s.

Amazon is selling SanDisk's 256GB microSD Express Card for $58.99, down 16% from its $69.99 list price. The card uses a PCIe/NVMe interface rather than standard UHS-I, enabling faster load times and support for high-bitrate video capture, while still remaining backward-compatible with older UHS-I devices.

A developer released sm750hdmifb, an experimental Linux DRM driver specifically for the SE-DP750A-HDMI PCIe card built around the Silicon Motion SM750G10-AC GPU and SiI9024ACNU HDMI transmitter. It enables true 2048-wide output or a scaled 2560x1080 ultrawide desktop with more efficient colour conversion and update handling than the older sm750fb kernel driver it replaces.
