While  PlayStation 5 has not been officially launched yet, there are already reports of the first fatality, and everything seems to point to the (Samsung) SSD failing.

The owner of this console is (or was) YouTuber and game reviewer Jeremy Penter, better known as ACG on the video platform. Penter revealed on Twitter that his unit no longer turns on. Apparently, the user was affected by their PS5 after experiencing problems with the " storage rebuild, "a problem that "other" influencers had already reported, but that "in my case, escalated to a large number of errors and network problems and Boot."

The most worrying thing about this is that it would not be an isolated case if other people have already told you that they have experienced similar errors. So it remains to be seen what Sony's response will be.  Besides, Penter said that "Sony and I were working on a solution to the problem when it completely died."

It's not clear at the moment what exactly caused your PlayStation 5 to fail, but considering that even Sony's attempts to fix it weren't successful, we may not know for a while. In the same way, it is too early to know if we are facing a gross exit error or if it is a few units, although, of course, no console was launched without problems.
