| HollyGamer said: Just watch Digital Foundry Video , they indeed explained Sony are customize their SSD to be faster then the current market, but they said it will be available for PC market for another one or two years. I bet Sony transfer their tech to Sky Hynix so it will probably available next year. |
Lol... no tech transfers here. An NVMe gen 4 SSD should have a real-world peak bandwidth of 7GB/s (it has an 8GB/s theoretical maximum). Most of the SSDs coming to out this year are in the 4GB/s - 5GB/s range but we will have a couple of premium drives that hit that 7GB/s range maybe as early as this year. They wouldn't be cheap though.
What really makes the PS5 SSD fast though is that sony has custom hardware built into its APU to accelerate SSD specific tasks, to ensure that 5.5GB/s speed of their setup is sustained and applied to everything in their system. The closest thing to customization like that you will see on the PC is MS adding APs from the XSX to windows that allows windows better use SSD throughput.
