PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X vs Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 SSD vs HDD load times: Say farewell to the last generation

[Redaktion]

The PlayStation 5 has now joined the Xbox Series X in being officially launched, and the two current-gen consoles have united with a superfast Sabrent Rocket NVMe M.2 PCIe 4.0 1 TB SSD in a game load time comparison against a lowly PC hard drive. The real celebration here involves saying farewell to last-generation load times.

Wow, amazing. Never imagined that. Omg, what a technology. Wait a minute. We have this on PC for a decade now. Finally consoles get up to parity to PCs.

Why not add cheap sata ssd that pc users have had for years into the comparison?

The seams off because those loading times for a normal hard drive are very very low...

To those screeching about how PC had SSDs first for years. This is not news because SSDs are new. This is news be side up till now games were developed for lowest common denominator of HDD you had in consoles, they didn't get developed PC first, regardless of ego of PCMR. Hence why NVMe is barely any faster than SATA in gaming and has no effect on gameplay. So this is news because it brings lowest common denominator to SSD, meaning developers will be more incentivized to drop HDD support in favor of making better use of SSD. Which of course won't happen instantly, but as we move in next generation and past transition stage, usually 1-2 years after next generation release, we will see a lot of benefits from this on PC too. Just saying, because PCMR has hard time dropping childish level of "we are best" attitude, which really doesn't matter with consoles.

The Funny thing is that in term of games PC's SSD gen 3 4x are NOT  slower than gen 4....

please please please stop the hype

mod a ps4 pro Internally with that drive and a fast m.2 adapter  not usb

then compare

is this all a hype campaign or not?  because it seems to me the ps4 pro was gimped on purpose to sell the ps5, given the timeline
