Sony has introduced the ability to easily expand the capacity of an SSD before. It will be enough to remove the plastic cover of the console and insert a compatible one SSD M.2 disk into an empty slot. This is currently not possible. According to Bloomberg, this is due to the heat that an M.2 SSD would generate. Sony must first improve the cooling system, respectively, increase the fan speed to better cool the slot area.
