Yep Cerny speculate that because of the lack of priority levels the system would need to abstract it so to get similar results to the internal 5Gb/s drive you would need a standard (2 priorities instead of 6) that reached 7 and yes Gb/s. The reason they were talking about validation as well is because most of the high speed SSDs available had form factors that wouldn`t fit into the console (like heatsinks as whatnot).

Don, @bold, are you sure it is not GBps? From the road to PS5 video, cerny shows slides that mention 5.5GBps (gyga bytes per second) for the PS5 SSD.

Well probaly would be GB/s. But you understand the point =p any drive that fits the slot, have speed should be available, the important part of the I/O happens outside of the drive, not sure about the MS reasons (I know there integrated heatsink and I think some of the logic may be there) but perhaps grey companies will sell their SSDs for Xbox as well.
