With an 8TB SSD like this in the PS5, who won't be able to resist, no matter the price or case design?

"Gigabyte has announced the world’s fastest and largest PCIe 4.0 SSD, the Aorus AIC, during its Aorus Xtreme Power event at Computex 2019. With 8TB of space on a single add-in card, you’ll never have to worry about your Steam library crippling your PC ever again. Oh and did I mention it runs up to 15,000MB/s read and 15,200MB/s write? Damn."

"And there’s certainly a debate surrounding whether a drive comprised of multiple smaller SSDs should be considered as a single storage drive itself. But if Nvidia can claim the “world’s largest GPU” for a bunch of GPUs strung together via switches and interconnects, I suppose Gigabyte also gets a pass."

"The CEO of Phison, K.S Pau, also made an appearance at the event touting the world’s first PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD for use with AMD’s Ryzen 3000 platform: the Phison PS5016-E16. That drive won’t max out the bandwidth available, managing 5,000MB/s read and 4,400GB/s write, but Pau teased a new controller capable of 6,500MB/s arriving in Q1, 2020."
