The comment about the SSD is cryptic.
Cerny says it has bandwidth higher than any PC SSD. But what exactly does that mean? SATA SSD or NVMe? Or maybe it has some kind of cache that allows very high burst speeds?
If he means faster than any PC NVMe drive then that's both very impressive and very confusing.
We are talking about loading times for games here, and despite NVMe being 5-7x faster than SATA based SSD's, the load times on NVMe only offer a ONE SECOND advantage over SATA SSD's. I don't know why but you can check any number of NVMe benchmark videos and they will show you HDD = 47seconds, SSD = 17 seconds, NVMe = 16 seconds. And that kind of ratio repeats itself again and again.
So if NVMe only offers a minor advantage over SATA SSD's then why bother with something faster and presumably more expensive?
BTW - My first post! Happy to be here.
