The SSD is a Corsair MP600. Yeah PS5 is a launch one. Trading up to a PS5 pro is a good idea maybe I'll just do that.

This drive has TONS of issues with the PS5. From not recognizing to system crashes. Get a refund on this drive if you can or try another drive. I’m telling you right now if you remove this SSD everything will go back to normal.

Also you need a speed of 5500mb/s as a requirement. Quick google search had that at 4900. Unless it is the elite which is 7k. Still tons of issues with this model.

Ah yeah it's a pro, specifically CORSAIR MP600 PRO LPX 2TB
I did google plenty of other people reporting issues both with that model of SSD but also many others with the launch ps5. Overheating, crashes, similar to what I'm seeing. PS5 seems very limited in the error reporting, it shows definite signs of overheating or potentially a failing power supply but I can't find any log where it records that that's what's occurring.
If I was to buy another SSD I'd probably just get a ps5 pro instead anyway since my ps5 is literally a launch day one so it's closing in on 5 years of life and is probably due to die. It gets extremely heavy use, mostly from the kids.

The 30 minute session crashing has been happening for quite a while since I installed that Corsair SSD last year but it never really bothered me much until recently. I rarely get time for longer play sessions, I plat'd Expedition 33 without much annoyance since there's nothing in that game that takes long in between save points.

It's really an issue for me now though since I'm back to trying to finish the FF7 Rebirth plat and you have to beat two bosses in a row without being able to save in between. Hard mode Rude+Elena followed straight up by Rufus. I can't get through both of them in 30 minutes.. With enough practice I could but I cant get enough time to practice on Rufus due to the crashing.
