"According to Western Digital, the Xbox Series X's WD SN530 SSD isn't a stock OEM drive that's limited to PCIe Gen3 x4 performance. Instead, the drive has been outfitted with a special ASIC that enables both PCIe Gen3 x4 and Gen4 x2 performance, which allows for up to 3.938 GB of max throughput. For reference, the Series X targets 2.4GB/sec in uncompressed data transfers."
So is that why we are not actually seeing much different in loading times from Games for both PS5 & Series X cause turns out the SSD speed for the Series X is actually
3.9GB/sec which is a lot faster than the 2.4GB/sec they listed.
