Re: PS5 SSD: Why It's Better Than HDD

I think it might have something to do with the insane speed at which data is shuffled around. Reading and writing that much data so fast, and so often. But that's pretty much all I can take away from it. I've just seen the monstrous cooling solutions some of these drives require.

The one with the drive. I have a lot of physical games. Probably around 80 or something. Besides, I would love the opportunity to buy 4K blu ray movies. I just hope this time they also support audio cd's like they did on PS3. That thing can even rip cd's and store them on the hdd. Great, because I still use an mp3 player, and I have a whole lot of music on cd. Generally I just have so much stuff on physical media that it would be dumb of me to opt for the digital version, but I totally understand why some people do!

And I'm saying it's wrong. I guarantee you Nvme drives such as the one found inside the PS5 gets MUCH hotter than an HDD. I ask again. Have you ever seen an HDD with a heatsink?
Besides, the drive in the picture is a sata SSD. Big difference, as it's a lot slower than an Nvme

Wrong! The type of SSD in the PS5 gets very hot! Most have their own heatsink, many even have their own fan. By your logic, a cpu and a gpu wouldn't run hot either, because they don't have any moving parts.
