MSI hope to “redefine the gaming SSD” with their two TLC-based drives, offering top read and write speeds of 7000MB/s and 6900MB/s and maximum capacities up to 4TB. Alas, that was the extent of what MSI revealed during their press conference, so we don’t yet know how these drives will differ from each other, how much they’re going to cost, or when we’ll be able to get our hands on them. However, we can see from the images that both look like they’ve got quite substantial heatsinks attached to them, probably ruling out any hopes of being able to stick them in your PS5. … [Read more...] about MSI have announced their first SSDs, and they’re incredibly fast

Samsung unveils 870 EVO SSDs, which are about as good as SATA drives are going to get
The Samsung 870 EVO uses the company's latest V-NAND flash memory and controller to make for an up-to-date SSD that is manufactured completely in-house. The drives employ a variable SLC buffer using Samsung's Intelligent TurboWrite tech to maintain peak performance. Overall, you're looking at reads and writes of 560MB/s and 530MB/s respectively, which are right up against the limits of the 6Gbps SATA interface. You're looking at random read and write IOPS of 98K and 88K as well, by the way. … [Read more...] about Samsung unveils 870 EVO SSDs, which are about as good as SATA drives are going to get

Xbox Series X/S 1TB expandable storage costs $220
"A significant portion of the overall size of a game is comprised of texture data," Ronald continues.
