The PS5 SSD could be twice as fast as the Xbox Series X

SSD hard drives are some of the components of the next generation of consoles that are appearing in information and articles on the new one Sony Playstation 5 for this 2020 and Xbox Series X. However, although both consoles will be able to reduce the loading time of the minute games to just a few seconds, practically disappearing these screens, the truth is that a rumor ensures that PS5 would be far superior to its rival in this regard.

This would allow a Read and write speed of 3,700 MB / s and 3,000 MB / s

respectively, currently being at the forefront of PCIe and M2 SSDs.

The possible PSD SSD

But information also indicates that PS5

could include one of Samsung's new SSDs, a PCIe 4.0 unit at the height of the future Samsung 980 Pro with V-NAND memory presented at CES, whose transfer rate provided by the technology company is one 6,500 MB / s read and of a 5,000 MB / s write. It would be twice as fast as the Xbox Series X, although the truth is that both would be very fast when loading data, and of course it is not confirmed information. There is also the possibility of Sony choosing a current Samsung 970 Pro, which matches the Xbox Series X Phison in performance …
