They arent useless tests.What a dumb post.
I never said slower drives would magically become faster and run at 100GB second.
The point is you can’t assume the performance of PS5 SSD just by using a slower drive. Because that same slower drive is still taking advantage of the custom I/O. It isn’t completely independent of it. So a 3GB drive would still perform better in the PS5 than it would without the PS5 hardware.
That’s why all these slower drives test are useless and doesn’t prove anything about PS5 5.5GB SSD not being needed. For a test done properly a game designed around PS5’s SSD and I/O would have to be made for other platforms that don’t have PS5 SSD speeds and custom I/O. All these test are doing is showing that PS5 can use extended storage.
A lot of people in this thread jumping to conclusions claiming victory over a flawed pointless test. Wouldn’t expect anything else from the green discord cult though.
Ringling Brothers Circus clown show is that way
The tests currently show R&C works on a 3.2 gb/s WD750.
If PS5's 5.5 gb/s SSD is so important for gaming, why does R&C work perfectly fine and Sony's SSD advice is "recommened 5.5 gb/s". It's not a mandated minimum.
As for waiting for a game that purposely uses PS5's SSD specs, where a PC SSD cant match it and the game only works if it runs off PS5's SSD, ok fine. Which game?
