PlayStation 5 Breakdown Video Reveals What Sony Has Been Hiding Under The Hood

On their Youtube channel, tonight PlayStation has revealed a closer look at the PlayStation 5 console. In the video, they highlight each of the consoles ports, the fact it’s very quiet and a few other tidbits.

Here are some highlights from the video

The front of the console has a USB Type-C port and a USB Type-A port.
The back of the console has two Type-A ports, a LAN port, an HDMI out and a power port.
Of those USB ports, the USB-C on the front and the two on the back are SuperSpeed-rated, which means they’re capable of speeds up to 10Gbit/s.
The base is held in place by a screw vertically and there’s even a handy place to store the screw when not in use inside the base itself.
For console aesthetic, you can place a little magnetic screw-hole inside when not using the console vertically.
If you attach the base to the console horizontally it simply clamps over the back of the console.
The top of the console removes with ease.
Unlike the PS4, the PS5 has a Wi-Fi 6 wireless antenna with Bluetooth 5.1. This supports transfer speeds up to 9.6Gbit/s.

There are two air vents on the front of the console and the entire back is an exhaust port.

To clean and keep the console in good temperatures it has two built-in dust catches that can be vacuumed up.

The fan itself is a massive 120mm diameter, 45mm thick, double side intake fan. This baby is made to keep the PS5 running cool.
On top of all those cooling solutions, the console also uses liquid metal to help with the cooling process.
There is an M/2 interface/PCIe 4.0 expansion slot that looks like it’ll make installing an SSD a breeze.
