Not bad for a £249 console

Still kind of long. Where did The "lol 2s vs 4s" go, because people have said that series s is just as good as series x, just tuned down gpu.
Can we assume that it takes 11-12s to load on series x too then?
But definetly good enough, if everything loads under 20s on all next gen systems= good
Keep dreaming.10 seconds really doesn't impress me that much. Expecting 2-3 second full initial loads on PS5.
It's hardly an improvement due to SATA controller being connected through USB controller, I think.How does it compare to Xbox One S with regular SSD?
That's what I would like to know.
Keep dreaming.
Like I said, keep dreaming. It will be faster, but you are not going to be loading into games in 2-3 seconds.Sony has built in a lot of custom hardware to eliminate I/O bottlenecks all through the system architecture, to actually hit that 5.5GB/s number in real life situations. Seems like MS hasn't gone to the same lengths.

How can it not impress people? MS haven't done a Sony and gone on and on about minimal load times with SSD secret sauce, this is just a nice bonus from MS imo.10 seconds really doesn't impress me that much. Expecting 2-3 second full initial loads on PS5. It seems like the actual difference in loading speed will be larger than the 2.4x difference in raw read speed suggests.

Games that are actually made for next gen will make better use of the SSD for faster load times.

11 seconds ? This is not even a next-gen game with more assets. This is a XB1 game with max 5GB of data. So they'll need 15 sec for a next-gen game running on XSS (7.5GB) and >20 seconds for the XSX version with bigger assets (13GB).
People are going to be disappointed of their Xbox I/O when they'll see the other side.
Sure, jan.
Lets see once Sony decides to show it.
16 GB of RAM, at 5.5 GB/s... do the numbersLike I said, keep dreaming. It will be faster, but you are not going to be loading into games in 2-3 seconds.
I’ve never seen anyone with an ounce of technical knowledge state that SSDs will load 50 times quicker. I’ve seen plenty say 5x though. Check your expectations.It's a nice improvement, sure, but it's only about 5x faster than the extremely slow XB1 HDD. The SSD should be giving larger improvements than that (theoretically something like 50x), which is why I'm not that impressed.

They have already showed their loading times. Goes from 0.8 sec to 2 sec.Sure, jan.

There isn't one. Everything we've seen from Sony has been optimised for the SSD, which is a completely different beast.link?
Source?
Yeah, hopefully the Playstation is quicker because consider me disappointed. You just know in a few years time when they start using heavier assets with better optimisation that load times are going to increase back up to what they are now.Ok... this is much longer than I expected. And this is not even a new gen game. Kinda let down, to be honest.
Go and watch some YT videos of load time analysis of SSDs V HDDs.

First up, there’s the matter of load times. Sony has touted the speed of the PS5’s solid-state drive, and how it virtually eliminates long loads. In practice, we watched as Kena was launched from the PlayStation 5 system menu. It took about two seconds. That’s not resuming a suspended game, but launching the game fresh.
“They have a whole thing set up where you can do transition and it’s very nice, but frankly it doesn’t have time to play the animation. It just loads the game so fast,” says Josh Grier, chief operating officer at Ember Lab.
So we're supposed to expect read speeds of just 250-500MB/s? I've never been told that, seems terrible. Source? If it's that bottlenecked, MS has seriously fucked up.

PC SSDs? Not relevant. Well, maybe it is for the Xbox, don't really know. But Sony has done much more than just thrown an SSD into the PS5, it will outperform any consumer PC SSD by a large margin.
