Sony may not be ready to unveil the PlayStation 5 just yet, but that hasn?t stopped keen observers from analyzing industry trends to find out exactly what components will fill the belly of the beast. Let?s Go Digital has narrowed down the possibilities, determining that the Samsung NVMe SSD 980 QVO drive is most likely to be used. While that particular SSD won?t be the top of the line one made available this year, it will still strike a balance between affordability and the kind of performance that Sony is looking to get on the PlayStation 5.
Sony?s talked about the PS5 SSD before, a ?specialized? solid state drive that will all but eliminate load times and allow game file sizes to be a lot smaller. In April 2019, system architect Mark Cerny said that the PS5 SSD would have a ?raw bandwidth higher than any SSD available for PCs.? That suggested that this specialized drive was not as of yet commercially available. Sony has avoided giving any specifics or naming a manufacturer, but some recent SSD reveals lend some clues as to what might be inside the console.
