One of the biggest questions surrounding the PlayStation 5 SSD has been how that will translate to external storage solutions. Standard disk-based hard drives on current USB protocols simply won?t be able to keep up with the speeds required. Games designed with an internal SSD in mind will require similar specs for any external option. Patriot may be demoing of the first-ever PS5 external SSD options at PAX East this weekend.
Patriot Gaming is getting ready to showcase the Viper PXD M.2 SSD. It?s a PCIe 3.0 4x m.2 form-factor SSD that can reach up to 1GB/sec read/write speeds on the NVMe 1.3 protocol thanks to Phison?s E13T memory controller. In layman?s terms" It?s fast, one of the best external SSD solutions available. The Viper PXD uses a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C interface, which is where things get interesting.
