Damn...

Nvme speeds are getting crazy fast

fast enough to be certified by sony for ps5? as for price i sure there still ridiculous

Absolutely fast enough.

While it's great with so fast writes it only really makes sense for a user with another fast SSD, copying from one to the other.

Not sure why. Read speeds, which is what most people are about, are the same. Unless you do a lot of copying from one m.2 drive to another, most people don't care that much about the extra write speed. That said, technology gains are always welcome and will push others to go even faster.

Soon we'll be saturating that 4 x Gen 4.

Its great SSD but limited, no 2TB and no 4TB I rather have more space then faster, anyway what matter is 4K reads and writes, sequential speed is irrelevant I have x2 2TB Corsair MP510, so 4TB in RAID 0 and x3 4TB SATA Samsungs, still not decided to raid 0 or not to raid 0, dunno how x570 is stable with raid

But... 4K ?

Well did anyone even expect a console maker to have achieved hardware performance which PC makers could not follow in a few months? They can even go to a price range of the whole console if they please.

Not necessarily. The way I see it, the only reason to have drives like this is for those with data-heavy workstations. Even SATA is still fast enough in most everyday cases, since the average real-world application or game isn't bottlenecked by storage. Those that can actually take advantage of such high read speeds can often take advantage of such high write speeds too.

Read speeds, which is what most people are about

yes,but it's random that's important not sequential I bet this is another mediocre 60-70mb/s drive.sorry,but my m9pey on pci-e 2.0 could do 63-67mb/s,and it's over 3 yo 980Pro hits +90mb/s

you are right to do so noting comes close to 980pro/sn850 as yet

Gamers still have no use for them. Games will load just as fast on a cheap sata ssd.

Questionable read is irrelevent at this point, that is no longer the problem the problem random read which how much everything read. Till that is fixed I rather higher capacty for at much more affordable prices that is currently. I see ZERO diffrence between gaming on HDD and SSD in games very very few games benfit from cause very few actual do sequential reads and large files at that. in fact very few things do that in first place and majorty thing that do are thing most people dont do are use.. The speed is overrated and price is still not worth less you are do those things that actual use sequential majority of time

Undying:

At risk of get flamed. I dont see diffrence between PS4 game loading time and PS5 games loading time, almost no game use sequential reading speeds, There is is almost no diffrence between Nioh and Nioh2 for ps4 and ps5 load times imo, and Control Ps5 load times are terrible imo IF the game is actual using sequential read speed that anothering but really how many games are doing and how many games are actual just hand full of LARGE Files? to actual read those speeds. I did test few days ago to see how fast Nioh Load speeds are on PC using 860, the SSD bearly broke 280mbs load the game load save or anything most time it just going up and down in speed cause going from file to file, that was small at this only large files ones that actaul went fast those, loaded before drive actual hit its true speeds. There not for gaming, only way that will ever come true is if game is is split into say 5+ files that huge that can be read using sequential speeds. atlest imo I could be wrong They all adertise those 7000mb/s but leave out the fact that is squietinal and random reads dont even come close to that which how most read happen in firstplace

IT CAN help but for most part it does not, Streaming data it is helpfull, not so much in terms of actual loading times cause it still at mercy of being random read, is faster then HDD sure but is premium on cost worth the increase? that is all in the eye of beholder to me it not worth. and the "fixing" texture pop in is debatable, that issue could easlity be cause game engine it self is unable to proccess textures fast enough, no mater how fast drive is, then engine has be able to do it in first place. and Exmaple of that Nioh and nioh 2 and FF7R and there " enemy listing" complete with there image and detail that huge delay before those textures even show up that same on HDD/SSD and NVMe. cause game engine is read speed are capped. Fix the Random read speeds and I might agree the extra cost is worth it

Sabrent rocket plus does... on paper anyway.

not where it matters most my 8200pro reads 4k faster on pcie 3.0 https://static.tweaktown.com/content/9/7/9769_13_samsung-980-1tb-2-ssd-review.png

While i agree nvme drives are overkill in some cases... its not all cases, the division2 on my Sabrent rocket plus 1tb is better than it was on my mp600 2tb, switching to map and inventory screens are a marked improvement, loading Ets2 with mods like promods amp and rusmap.....well on standard ssd you have time to make a cup of coffee, i dont see the point in having a system capable of such speeds and not taking advantage of it, its like people holding on to windows 7.....why!!!!, it took years to get 64bit mainstream for the same reasons, and yet when there is a new gpu.....people are all over it.
