I was wondering, games for the current consoles are being presented as being able to create a whole new experience of gaming because of ssd, but ssd has been on pcs for a long time and there was no such a thing as new way to experience games besides short screen loading times. While on consoles, ratchet and clank introduce new dimensions, ff XVI shows different phases of combat and more, and other games also show all kind of new experiences because of the ssd

When I was a kid, write speeds of a dozen megabytes a second felt fast.

I had the pleasure of using a M.2 style SSD not too long ago. It had a write speed of over 3 gigabytes a second. Over 3000 megabytes.

I want to say it was actually over 7, but I can’t remember for sure, and I feel like 7 GB a second would be ridiculous, but either number is amazing.

I guess that’s really doesn’t answer the question, but holy crap. I very was impressed.
