PS5 Slim digital Edition Console

PS5 Slim Digital Edition comes in two storage variants for the all-digital (no disc drive) model: the original 1TB SSD version (launched late 2023, model CFI-20xx series) and the revised 825GB SSD version (introduced September 2025 as CFI-21xx series, e.g., CFI-2116/2100). Both deliver identical performance—ultra-fast loading, 4K/120Hz gaming, ray tracing, Tempest 3D Audio, and DualSense haptics—but the newer 825GB is a “shrinkflation” update (less storage at the same price point globally). Sony lists usable space as ~848GB for 1TB models (~667GB after OS) and ~667GB for 825GB models.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Key Difference: Only storage—the 825GB holds fewer games (~10-12 large titles like Call of Duty at 200GB+ vs. ~12-15 on 1TB). Both expandable easily (e.g., add WD Black SN850 2TB SSD you asked about earlier for ~KSh 25k). No performance hit; newer model has minor cosmetic tweaks (matte shell resists fingerprints better).
