Your discussion is not really about storage. It is about interfaces that storage typically (not always) use.

Sata is also not "up to" 500MB/s.
Sata 3.2 is actually up to "1969MB/s." (16Gbits)

Sata 3 tops out at 600MB/s.
Sata 2 tops out at 300MB/s.
Sata 1 tops out at 150MB/s.

If they retain their use of mechanical disks... Then outside of burst speeds (Aka. Data loading from a Hard Drives cache to Ram), you will not see a difference between Sata 2's 300MB/s and Sata 3.2's 1969MB/s.

I am aware that I focused on interfaces... I said that in the thread. I did it that way because the intrfaces I described are the most common or likely things we would find in the new consoles. And they are what will determine what kinda storage solution we will use. Which brings us back to storage.

I am also aware of SATA express or SATA3.2, but you and I both know thats not going to end up being in the new consoles. There are very few consumer devices that even uses it today and they have been around for a good while now.

Thanks for your input though, and that is what this thread is for.
