While the PlayStation 4 launched with 500GB of HDD storage and the PS4 Pro topped 1TB, the PlayStation 5 will host 825GB of internal storage on a solid-state drive (SSD). The console?s Lead System Architect, Mark Cerny, explained this detail during this morning?s PlayStation 5 presentation.
According to Cerny, in traveling the world to visit with publishers and developers, there was one common request with regards to next-gen hardware. More than anything else, developers wanted an SSD for new consoles. It seems Sony aims to deliver said request in spades. Whereas the PS4?s HDD takes approximately 20 seconds to load 1GB of data, the SSD for the PS5 will allow 2GB to load in 0.27 seconds. For gamers, this incredible speed means no load screens. Better still, players should expect to hop right back into the experience after their character dies. Fast travel should occur at a ?blindingly fast? speed, too, Cerny teased.
