According to Mike those slow SSDs are not matching the internal drive. So I wouldn't say they are performing equivalent to it. I'm pretty sure the recommending specs are for the drives that will.
Also the nice thing about the PS5s I/O complex is that it applies to any NVME that you put into the system. The I/O structure goes beyond just the drive.
This is a key point. Fitzgerald explicitly points to the I/O path and hardware decompression being used by Ratchet and Clank. Again, this is why Nvidia is developing RTX IO.
