The PS5 SSD has been defeated - Aorus GEN 4 8TB SSD - 15GB/s almost x3 faster than PS5 SSD ($2000 SSD)

[MRORANGE]

It's expensive, but damn it's fast.

PCI-E 4 is mighty impressive. While the price is high, it's bound to get cheaper in a few years when GPU's start coming on board with PCI-E 4, however you will probably need a dedicated X16 lane unless Motherboard M2 slots improve I guess.



In the benchmarks they we're seeing 13GB/S read's and wires.

 

[FernandoRocker]

Nice. Can't wait.

What I find annoying about the PS5 SSD is people pretending that the XSX uses still a mechanical HDD or a slower technology, when in reality both have very fast SSDs.

 

[Brass Body Dave]

Unreal. It'll be the new normal soon! Can't wait!

 

[Deleted member 23212]

So Linus put that in there and didn't even show any actual applications to show their speed.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Was fun while it lasted

 

[Deleted member 21709]

I knew it was about the LTT troll video.

 

[MonsterMech]

Damn. PS5 bout to hold games back. SMH

 

[nsilvias]

thats cheating
its just a raid device

 

[Jedi2016]

Benchmark tests don't mean shit compared to real-world applications. Let's see how fast it runs when you load a game level.

I mean it IS slower thats just a fact the I/O throughput of the Xbox drive is only 2.4 GB/s while PS5 is sitting at 5.4 GB/s the xbox drive is still plenty fast but the PS5 still beats it because of the custom I/O controller.

 

[Kalentan]

It looks like a graphics card, that's crazy.

 

[defaltoption]

Yeah it's awesome, requires a lot of cpu cores to fully utilize though, thank goodness amd has really pushed CPUs.

And those already existed. Another un-researched thread about the topic

 

[Schlorgan]

You could probably buy 3 or 4 PS5's for the price of this thing.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Blah, forget it.

 

[AlexBasch]

Imagine having that thing installed and getting used to see black screens because all the people in Destiny 2 you get paired with, still use HDD's.

Seriously though, investing in a SSD is one of the best purchases I have done for my PC, just got a basic M.2 extra storage unit, but I'll save some cash for a beefier SSD later down the road.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Epic games was pretty clear that just the SSD speed alone wasn't the game changer with PS5

It's addressing the bottleneck all throughout the I/O as well

 

[Shoichi]

yup the new Samsung NVME Gen 4 drives coming soon look pretty good as well

=$5000 to get it working properly at those speeds

 

[Mad_Rhetoric]

And so ps5's ssd had been technically beaten before it even releases. Of course its still cost prohibitive but even so.

Jesus Christ, this is why I stick to consoles and upgrade my PC mid gen 😁.

 

[Rodrigues solitaire]

Lol that title won't do you any favours but in all fairness,

Spoiler

you dish out some, you take some.

 

[JusDoIt]

This is actually great news for the PS5. Those internal expansion drives should be hitting the market soon, right?

A 4tb at 1/3rd of the speed shouldn't hurt too bad.

 

[AfropunkNyc]

It's expensive, but damn it's fast.

Aorus GEN 4 "8TB" SSD
I mean a 2tb ssd alone is already expensive enough so i could image a 8tb being mind blowingly expensive.

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

Watch Linus open it again when the Samsung 980 Pro comes out.

pretty much

DirectStorage from MS needs to come out so these can be properly put through their paces in games

 

[Uzupedro]

Hadn't he made a video literally explaining that no matter the speed of the SSD, on the PC would there be an overhead (or something like that, I'm bad with technical terms) that would prevent using its maximum capacity?
Or is this solved in the video? (I can't see it now).

My paltry 3.5gb/s SSD loads Doom Eternal's levels in 2s and I'm sure this will annihilate that. So pretty quick I'd imagine.

 

[FTF]

lol wait, is it really $2,000??

 

[platocplx]

Raid Devices are different than a single drive. Of course raid devices are faster.

Anything that has 8TB of storage is pretty expensive still

 

[Milennia]

Need a smaller storage size and I will jump.

 

[tapedeck]

So by this logic it can load games in negative 3 seconds?

 

[Midgarian]

PC2 does it again.

 

[Vulcano's Assistant]

That's the TRX40 board I've been looking into. I thought he was going to at least show if the Thunderbolt 3 was reliable, but alas.

 

[Arkham]

And how's the overall system I/O infrastructure with esoteric premium gear like that? There is no basis for comparison.

 

[Lace]

It would have been interesting to seem them show real world usage of the drive. Benchmarks are fun but what does a 5k system get you in game loading times compared to a regular SSD?

 

[jett]

lol wait, is it really $2,000??

Click to shrink...

It's eight terabytes.

 

[Deleted member 34714]

It's essentially a PCIe raid card with 4x2TB SSDs. You could have already done this and shown crazy theoretical speeds before this thing. The problem is nothing really handles that speed out there in real time use.

Came here looking for this, as expected OP didnt do his research, or actually he did but supressed the fact. Would bet on second.

People say the PS5's SSD is significantly faster than that of the XSX and that is a fact.

It's not that simple.

 

[zerocalories]

Well glad to hear the tech is here already. Just waiting for the price to come down. Is there some api or initiative from Microsoft that will let developers use this high through-put?

 

[jroc74]

Damn that's a big boy.

First post and it's already console wars and persecution complexes.

This is going to be a looooooooong console generation.

Also, the original post and title are so full of selectively forgotten facts that a console wars derail can only make this discussion better.

 

[Tathanen]

Next gen had a good run.

There will be smaller, human size ones later this year.
