M.2 seems easier for normies to mess up and SD cards have traditionally been significantly cheaper… plus a microSD card is smaller than M.2 by an order of magnitude.
The ps5 port only requires one screw to access.
I know the hard drive on the PS4 was only one screw to access as well.
I’m uncertain of the Xbox, they had a proprietary hard drive for the 360 so I didn’t go down that path.
While that is slightly more complicated than inserting a SD card, it is not technical.
IMO SD cards are not good for gaming and accessible M.2 should be more common

Okay, but as I understand PlayStation and Xbox do not have easily accessible drive ports at all. Or am I mistaken?
It’s not about what is common but instead that micro sd cards aren’t typically designed for so many reads and writes.
