The other issue is how fast the PC space moves... A 5.5GB/s SSD may seem "cutting edge" today, but tomorrow?

5.5GByte/s for a 12 lane ssd is by no means "cutting edge". Sony's ssd could go much, much faster.

However, speed comes with a price. In this case, it's a heat issue. Really fast ssds need really big heat dissipation. Since everything else in the PS5 is already generating enough heat, Cerny very likely went with a slower, but "heat resistant" solution.
