Sabrent Crushes Samsung At Their Own Game: Builds World's Fastest M.2 SSD

HOLY SHIT JUST FUCKING LOOK AT THIS MONSTERCARD IT IS FLYING LOOK AT IT
IT FLIES!! WTF IS THIS
 
Almost 7Gbps write speed, damn, PCIE4 barely came out and it's already fully saturated... Wonder how fast this drive and the 980 Pro would be on PCIE5, the connection port is clearly bottlenecking them.
 
That's exactly what Cerny predicted in the road to ps5 conference though. he said by the end of the year, 7 GBps ssds will be out on the market.

he also said that you will need these faster 7 GBps ssds to make up for the 6 priority levels in the PS5 ssd.

So essentially, this is on par with the PS5 ssd. But nice try.

Less of a prediction. He definitely knew far ahead of time. He'd probably had discussions with manufacturers
 
So...can we drop the Fud that PS5 games won't be ported to the PC because "teh menimum speks aren't as good as the PlayStation"
 
So if Sony and Microsoft are using marketing speak to make their drives appear more competent than they are, how do we know Samsung and Sabrent aren't doing the exact same thing? After all, they have a stake in appearing as more competent than their competition.

Maybe we should just be happy that SSDs are going to be standard for consoles starting this fall, and that the SSDs on PC are high quality parts as well. Is it not enough to be happy that we have 4 distinct yet viable options to play video games in the living room?

PCs still have a lot of bottlenecks PS5 had custom silicon to deal with so... PS5 SSD profits are still better.

Its also the limit of M.2 PCIE4 so logically the fastest PCIE4 drive would be at the limit, everyone knew what that speed was we were just waiting for the drives to hit the market.
And Phison already announced they had such a controller in the works.

PCIE4 isnt even expected to last that long, this years Zen processors are the last ones from AMD to peak with it, PCIE5 should be on the market by the end of next year or 2022 latest.
7GB will be half what people expect from their drives then.

NVIDIA is about to announce a video card that has 50% more VRAM than the PS5 and 2x the teraflops, it's going to be the size of a car and require a nuclear power plant to run it, but that's the PC for you and that's why it is always the place to go for the most high-end gaming tech, always. PS5 is a nice console with some cool tech but it's a console first and foremost.
 
Well Sony isn't putting unicorns into their PS5s, they're using standard busses, it's only a matter of time until a motherboard maker copies their idea and makes that architecture for PCs.

Sony is future proofing their profits by embracing 1st party releases on PC... just like MS has been doing all along.

PS and Xbox are not comparable in terms of what they give PC keks. At all.
 
That SSD will cost more than the PS5. This is what people don't get. You'll need a $2k PC to beat a $500-600 console. This is coming from a guy with a $3k PC. Also the Console will be far more optimized since it's designed to work as one unit.

That being said I'm pissed, I bought a 2TB NVMe SSD 2 years ago. :(
 
PCIe 4.0 SSDs hitting the market after being announced for 12+ months?

Gee how incredibly unexpected....... and what does this have to do with the PS5 at all? Did anyone actually think the consoles` budget hardware would ever be able to stand up to the top of the line PC components?
I don`t think people are that stupid and, thus, I guess this is just another clickbait thread.

The SSD is only one part of the equation. The IO sub system is the other part that makes all the magic happen.

Yes, we're team PlayStation. We always win.

Do you have a heavy sum of money invested in the company or WORK for the company at a high level? If not then you're just a crazy zealot, sorry to break it to you.

If you're not one of those 2 things, then you're not "Team Sony" you're a consumer of their products, they're taking the money from you.

"Team Sony" are truly the people that make profits from them, people are so twisted up in this.

Cringe.
And yes I have invested a lot in them.

The PS5 SSD also has 12 channels for data transfer, which is the most channels an SSD has. How many channels does this SSD have?

Also, instead of writing clickbait titles, people should be glad that this could be one of the compatible SSD to use for the console.

It crushes nothing since PS5 has custom IO hardware and that's not available on PC right now. It's not just about the SSD.

Stop being insecure like that, it's okay, your PC is great. Which doesn't mean it can't be beaten in any way when console makers decide to innovate.

It will probably push PC tech forward later too, so let's celebrate.
 
Linus is jerking off the PS5 for views knowing full well when it comes out he's going to do a full heel turn and rail it for not actually giving any improvements in games
I think he genuinely probably likes it (and other consoles) but he treats it the same way any new tech is treated on the channel, it's the new hotness for a while and then things just move on from a hardware stand point.
They don't review games and a console is gonna be those specs for the next 5 years so outside of some mod that adds interesting features or peripherals like heads sets it kinda is what it is.

They gave the switch a review and I think the only time they ever revisited it was when they put android on it.
 
Fuck you Samsung!
Never paying an arm and leg for an SSD from these skates.


Thank fuck Sabrent are pushing out a highspeed Phison E18 early.
Adata shouldnt be too far behind with a drive atleast at Samsung speeds.

Not sure why OP decided to twist the headline into a PS5 title....but whatever.

Yep. I bought a Sabrent 1TB 3.0 NBMe for $119 from Amazon. Has a 5 year warranty. They use chips from Hitachi. Ive had zero problems.

3.2GB read and 2GB write.

You forgot to consider our dedicated IO silicon.
This is not even our final form. You have no chance, kiddo.
If our games arrive on Steam in 2024 you will get a bit of power too.
Enjoy mate.
Two sony games that didn't even crack the top 75 on Steam. Thats how little pc gamers care about sony shovelware :messenger_tears_of_joy:

You need amazing gameplay to succeed on pc not scripted events and cutscenes.

No.

It's not a fud, but again when you will be able to buy an SSD that is as fast as PS5's and performs in your pc as fast as the one in PS5, then they will not care that you, the one guy on the planet, have this SSD.

They will wait until the mid rage pc gamer has a PC-SSD combo that performs at least a bit better than the PS5-SSD combo.

Or Sony will drop the quality at halo infinite levels to support more gaming platforms day one. I hope not.

Sony games have better gameplay than your favorite pc games. This ignorance doesn't drive you somewhere.

Part 2 and GOT and Bloodborne and GOW and Horizon and,and,and have not amazing gameplay... Yeah. lol
Because they have also better script, character development, graphics, and art direction than almost any game you have ever played, doesn't mean they don't have amazing gameplay.

You can read any bs you can imagine in forums these days.

Because people don't get anything in return for buying a Sony console and games to play on it?

From your perspective everyone on here is a supplicant of some hardware/software publisher.

Good thing we have someone like you who isn't a FOOL and doesn't own any gaming hardware like an IDIOT.

True, but why do we have to care about niche technology as consumers. Devs don't care about what technology in the size of my a house could produce, rather they care about what mainstream technology can offer.

Not only game devs or game companies but also car manufacturers for example and car consumers think the same. Unless you are driving on the city streets with a NASA's Apollo 2020.
:p

Well, it shows the path forward. That level of performance will not cost that much forever. For evidence, I typed that up before the presentation, and after, Nvidia announced a set of cards that are both way more powerful and much more reasonably priced than first thought. So, a $500 card will get you the same performance as their current $1200 GPU. These GPUs are going to be extremely successful. Not just that but they announced a set of technologies around I/O that everyone, including many in this thread, cannot exist on PC.

Again, not knocking the PS5, it looks like a nice system, but again, it's a console.

Ok, but I prefer instead of waiting to see ''if'', to support a cheap and efficiently designed platform only for gaming, that devs keep focusing on it as their priority(literally on the one that I will have in my living room), and then buy a PS5 pro(if I find the upgrade necessary).

But this is me I guess :)

Yeah well, it damn better crush the theoretical specs for that price? However, only someone that is uneducated will believe that numbers equal real-world performance in practice, always.

For example, how many games will be optimized for the use of this SSD, compared to the PS5 SSD? Also, a PC with that SSD won't have the PS5 I/O innovations, so I think diminishing returns will kick in hard on this one. Anyway, it's great that technology advances, of course.

But as a PS5 owner, I highly doubt this is something that will make me jealous ^^

12 channels is 12 channels.
Plus one would need a PCI Express 4.0 motherboard and these are just minimum requirements.

The amount of people who would own the needed spec would be to small to bother with porting... unless they gimp the PC versions.
 
Cool. Now, tell me: how much of these read/write speeds will be actually available for games? What about random read speeds and latency? Is there additional customizations that will increase overall efficiency of hardware? How much these NVMe drives will cost and how many gamers will have them in their gaming rigs?
Sorry, but aforementioned SSD is not "crushing" PS5, because you just cannot put it inside PC and expect it to work at 100% efficiency all the time. It doesn't work like that.
The thing is: all PS5 consoles have a state-of-the-art I/O hardware and software solutions that all developers can always count on. On a open platforms you cannot have that at all. Some gamers using HDD for games, some use SATA SSD, some use NVMe SSD... No real baseline.
So, until every gaming pc in the world has a really fast SSD that works at 99-100% of its capabilities, we have no right to talk about any superiority to console solutions.

Now you cut that logic out!
