When Sony introduced the Nextorage SSD brand to its PlayStation 5 console about a year ago, it saw this as a one-off move to meet the demand for PS5 storage. As it turns out, we were wrong. Sony’s Nextorage is about to get into enthusiast-grade drives, especially his client-grade SSDs in general.
In fact, at the Tokyo Game Show booth, the company demonstrated three 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB products for PC (most of which can be installed on a PC). Reported to have a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface Hermitage Akihabara.
Indeed, Sony’s Nextorage M2-2280 SSD with a PCIe Gen 5 x4 interface is capable of up to 9500 MB/s read and 8,500 MB/s peak write (determined largely by SLC caching in modern mainstream SSDs). eye-catching with ). If it can actually achieve these speeds, it beats most of the drives on his best SSD list.
With a PCIe Gen5 interface, Sony’s Nextorage drives’ peak performance is determined by the speed of the 3D NAND SSD platform they use and the company’s ability to source suitable chips, which have been said to be hard to find.
Sony’s Nextorage division not only demonstrated drivers for high-end PCs at the Tokyo Game Show, but also showed off their entire upcoming product family, including a 4TB SSD. Showing off a catalog of SSDs is nothing special for the typical OEM of his, but in Sony’s case it could indicate the big electronics company’s commitment to storage space.
The PlayStation 5 drive remains the most important jewel in Nextorage’s crown, given the brand’s owner, but Sony could soon have the drive in mainstream PCs.
