PS5's SSD Won't be the Fastest - PCs Got Something Better
Although Sony pitches PlayStation 5's SSD as a real breakthrough, it turns out that there is already technology available on the PCs that offers more than twice of its data reading speed. But there's a catch.
Since Sony began to reveal PS5's specs, one of the March presentation, we know it will be up to 9 GB/sec). However, it turns out that this is not entirely true - as reported by DSOGaming, the market currently offers SSD Element LQD4500 with a data read speed of 24 GB/sec.
There is one "but" - this device is dedicated to server rooms and workstations, which means it is not cheap. There are no details on the web, but the prices are not even listed in Liquid's product catalogue - to get to know them, we have to the manufacturer personally, which means that they are most likely to be breathtaking. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that PlayStation 5's SSD will indeed be the fastest hardware of its kind available to gamers - but it cannot be called the fastest SSD there is.
