“The downsides of this design decision are obvious, as Sony’s PlayStation 5 console will only support M.2 SSDs that meet Sony’s speed, thermal and size limitations. This means that M.2 SSDs with heatsinks are unlikely to be supported; and that SSDs with the potential to overheat could also prove problematic. ”
My PC motherboard has a m.2 slot and comes with a heatsink cover for the drive. Heat consumption for the expansion SSD could be incorporated into the console design.
