Perhaps the announcement today will give more info on DirectStorageAPI?!
What time is the announcement?
So i assume this was nothing?
Basically just top of the line PCIE 4 drive maybe pushing the limits of the spec a bit further than others.From my take:
-SSD speed up to 7.3 GB/sec (theoretical max)
-Endurance: How much you can read and write at same time: 5100 total Terabytes (700gigabytes write per day) or 70% of drives capacity every day for 5 years. Great for content creators especially dealing with 4k movies (!?). The FireCuda prevents you worrying about when the SSD is going to fail you and extends the lifespan of the NVMe SSD drive
-Cooling: Speed and Endurance can create a lot of heat, so their is liquid cooling with heat sink SSD from EK
Didnt mention anything about DirectStorageAPI. Emphasis on PCIE Gen 4.
I'm not too tech savy, but this sounds good so far..
Will this be the drive to use in the PS5 to expand its internal storage?From my take:

They didn't mention it in their presentation, so I am not sure.Will this be the drive to use in the PS5 to expand its internal storage?
$139.99/$159.99 -heatsink (500GB), $239.99/$259.99 -heatsink (1TB), $489.99/$539 -heatsink (2TB), and $949.99/$999.99 -heatsink (4TB).Price? That's the only thing I'm worried about with these things.

That's more than I have seen other brands price em.You know what, that's not too bad. Not bad at all.
It's not just nvme drives, all nand has durability loss and lifespan normally measured in data written. It's actually been getting worse, as they have been making different types of nand to bring down the costs the trade off has been durability/lifespan. That said it shouldn't be much of an issue for the general user (us).I didnt realize there is a lot of 'wear and tear' when using NVMe SSD's. What is the average lifespan of NVMe SSD's? Has there been additional technological innovations to extend the lifespan?
"It's Ridge Racer! Ridgeeee Racerrrr!"What a legend, full swagger.
I uh... wonder what they're going to do? lmfao

We already have M.2s that do 7gb/s though.From my take:
-SSD speed up to 7.3 GB/sec (theoretical max)
Wait, is this some new technology that utilizes multiple drives to achieve faster performance?
lol.. RAID isn't some new technology lmao.We already have M.2s that do 7gb/s though.

Does PS5 utilize standby differently? On a PC sleep mode saves the current state to RAM, not the SSD. Hibernate saves to your drive, but no one uses that anyway.For gamers, though, the saving grace of reads not counting is not helping anymore, because we're using our SSDs to the max. Every time we turn off the system, we're now writing the entire RAM buffer to a QuickSave file on the SSD to come back to later. We're streaming our gameplay and caching some if not all of that before transferring it to the cloud. We're patching and repatching the games we already have on storage by the multi-gigabyte. We're really just popping shit in and out of there all day long, because SSDs are awesome, and we're not thinking right now about what happens when one turns from awesome to a disaster. But, for now, they're really handy to use as we're using them, and in the future when we do have to replace our onboard SSDs with a new one, the solutions should be there (what's up, Sony? MS, you're good) and the written data should mostly still be there to make use of. But we'll see how bad that gets when we get there...
Sarcasm my dude.lol.. RAID isn't some new technology lmao.
Any this is such bullshit. Everyone knows that Sequential Read isn't indicative of real-world loading performance.
Notice how they conveniently cover up the Random 4K results? The very bottom one... which remains the same 83MB/s....
lol
