Can I expand the PlayStation 5 SSD?

The SSD featured in PlayStation 5 will be of NVMe PCIe 4.0 technology in an 825GB denomination. Sony has confirmed that you can expand the console's storage via a special slot, but you'll have to do so while waiting for it to reveal which SSDs are approved for installation inside PS5.
