PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X vs Sabrent Rocket PCIe 4.0 SSD vs HDD load times

Father__Merrin|1242d ago |Article|97|

The PlayStation 5 has now joined the Xbox Series X in being officially launched, and the two current-gen consoles have united with a superfast Sabrent Rocket NVMe M.2 PCIe 4.0 1 TB SSD in a game load time comparison against a lowly PC hard drive. The real celebration here involves saying farewell to last-generation load times.

Interesting mix, Xbox and PS5 are practically the same and not a big difference between the two. What really shows is the difference between SSD and Mechanical.

That 2 to 3 seconds is a big deal when used for fetching in game assets from the SSD.

Good riddance to HDDs. Most aggravating system bottleneck for literally decades. I finally got an SSD for my D: drive on my PC (boot drive was already SSD)...my old HDD is now relegated to being little more than a file dumpster. There's no reason to buy HDDs anymore unless you just need absolutely stupid amounts of cheap space. Soon even non-game apps will be developed with the expectation that they'll be run off an SSD. HDDs will be nothing more than archival storage.

I get paid over $90 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing,

These sites are dense last gen games dont get the same benefits on ps5 as far as loads. Digital foundary already spoke about this. Only next gen games will get near instantaneous loads. It's like the media hasn't been paying attention

I'm so sick of going to articles expecting to see the performance of PS5 games running on an external SSD compared to the internal SSD and Xbox external performance, only to come to another ridiculous last-gen SSD battle that has already been done to death, and seeing people in the comment section acting like they haven't seen the 12 other articles just like it and people and tech sites constantly saying last-gen games don't maximize the SSDs on the consoles -_-

I like notebookcheck for quick mobile GPU performance (laptop and similar devices), but this was an unnecessary article from them.

We really need to just stop comparing the two consoles over a measly few seconds.. Pick the console that offers the games you want to play. Simple. If you like sony exclusives, get sony.. if you want xbox exclusives, get xbox.

It is 2x...it's just a tough pill to swallow for certain individuals...like it's hard to swallow the higher fps count in performance mode in dmc 5 or how horizon 4 looks worse on series x than one x.

This is just pure load times on current gen titles. Once games are developed only for ssd pc will be left behind almost all pc won't have ultra fast ssd apart from those who seem to remain on Web forums

Pc standardizes though, so new customers and upgraders will have pcie4 and nvme prices are only going down within MONTHS. Then a few years or so and pcie5 comes and repeat. PC never gets left behind.

How many PC gamers upgrade every time there's an advancement in tech? Bugger all, yes the products are there - just percentage wise next no one has them.
How many PC gamers are M.2 as we speak?
How many games are designed around NVMe?
That's the difference between console and PC, that's the benefit of each. One is cheap and cutting edge, the other expensive, bloated, prone to compatibility issues between GPU's and some games.

@NEXUS-6 Lmao. Cutting edge? These things were outdated on arrival, especially compared to rigs like mine. That's the only difference that matters between consumers. You pay more over a generation period for less in return. Asking who owns what isn't an argument. For example, I can sell a single part whenever I feel like and pay half or less of what I'd need to and completely scatter your grandiose delusions into the wind for years. Same song and dance every generation when 'certain' people get a taste of tech modernity that's existed for years elsewhere.

People comparing games made for last gen . Use games made specifically for PS5 and it’s SSD maybe ? Just makes sense really , but that’s too much to expect isn’t it .

PS fanboys. 😄

“Just wait till the SSD shines with next gen games.”
“Sony will add receiver support for 3D audio eventually.”
“The PS5 will support VRR and 8K eventually.”
“Smart resume style will be on PS5, eventually.”

“Hahaha Xbox fans look dumb now because AC:Valhalla isn’t as good on Xbox, it has 1 FPS LESS!!! Now they’ll just make an excuse and say, “developers haven’t figured out the system, yet. Hahahahaha”

Ya’ll are exhaustingly immature lmao. There are 2 new consoles on the market, go play them. I wish I could but I’m stuck at work wishing I was playing and looking at you children fighting over them.

You completely missed the point of the entire post, I’m making fun of all of you. You claim one side makes excuses and then make excuses for the console you prefer. I’m just sitting back and laughing at all of you.

@Challengerscatpack

Then you missed my point as well. All 6 of your quotes are attacking Sony fanboys, don't act like you are a non bias awesome gamer that are just so cool standing on the side laughing at the situation. Sony fans dislike MS so much because they are hurting the industry, consoles have always been about bring new concepts/capability for each generation, and MS is pushing it to a PC upgrades because they can't compete.

Lol this guys all worked up. It’s okay buddy, if this offends you it’s probably because you take your plastic box war too seriously. I really don’t care about what console you play on, I’m pointing out how ridiculous you all are. Enjoy your PS5 if you got one, can’t wait to get mine tomorrow from UPS.

It's the reason why I stopped posting on here or any other gaming platform seriously. I have to say though as a neutral and lover of all gaming, that N4G is very much a haven for PS diehards.. so the only way to get any satisfaction is to tease them with over the top bating and sarcasm!
