I just don't understand why this is seemingly sooooo damned hard to include this rather crucial bit of info into a PR, so the readers don't have to go googlin or looking it up at their favorite etailer site :(

Why what? Current gen consoles have both Performance modes 60fps dynamic resolutions + FSR in certain games & graphics mode 30fps mode 4k-ish. So there should be an SSD that specifically operates at 5.9gb/s speeds. That just stupid like your pointless comment.

This will be much more interesting
Especially if it is offered in higher capacity versions. 16TB, and why not 32TB.

Yeah definitely but the price will be astronomical as well ahahah

16TB and 32TB in regular M.2 2280 i think will be impossible in current standards, since NAND must have a certain height limit, and also stacking 32 dies into a single package is difficult AF.
So even a 16 Package 1Tb dies QLC is rare to see, so 16x 1Tb (128GB) would be 2TB NAND Flash
So my guess is we won't be seeing it for years to come

We already have experience with at least two stacks on top of each other. It is not known, as nothing can follow the 16TB m.2 SSD already this year, or at the beginning of the next and 32TB at the end of 2024, at the time of presentation and market launch of the AMD processors with the ZEN 5 architecture and the competing architecture from Intel (Arrow Lake).

haha, you mean 30fps with raytracing. cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 is 30fps with RT, 60fps without …
and most ps5 version games have 60fps, at 1440p if you are going to “trash” on the PS5…
GTAV finally runs at 60fps on the PS5 (with ps5 version)

Well even the 4090 can't do 4k60 in Cyberpunk.
The difference is PC gaming is ruined by greed.

I wonder if they'll secretly change the performance of this drive like they've done with previous SSDs, such as the SX8200 PRO.
Click to expand...
They could but the PS5 has a specific performance threshold (reads / writes) that must be met, otherwise these SSDs simply will not work in the PS5.

no. (well yes, only if you consider the digital version of The PS5)

but the XPG 4TB Gammix s70 Blade is 479 canadian on amazon… (perhaps an acceptable NVME, but is is pcie4. and meets PS5 specs)

the Corsair mp600pro lpx 4TB, and the seagate Game Drive 4TB and the Kingston Fury Renegade 4TB (among others) are the same price as the disc PS5, 729 dollars canadian. (also for sale)
i wish they were the price of the digital version of PS5, 600 dollars.

It's cool that this exists but for anyone thinking they need it, you don't. Really, I had a 2tb and switched it with the computer 1tb ssd because it was just too damn much, I had a lot of games installed ranging from very large 100gb to small and still had a lot of space to spare.

Games with 100gb are fortunately still the exception, with the majority going for 30~40. That's ~20 if you consider an average of 50gb/game in a 1tb drive.
