PS5 SSD:
Samsung has announced a new version of its flagship PCIe SSD, dubbed the 990 Pro. Not only does the PCIe 4.0 M.2 storage device get even closer to being as fast as it can theoretically be, but there’s also the option of getting it with a heatsink that comes complete with RGB lighting (though, if you get that version to upgrade a PlayStation 5, which requires add-on SSDs to have a heatsink, those lights will likely get lost behind a layer of textured plastic).
The 990 Pro’s big selling point over its predecessor is that it’s even faster: in sequential reads and writes, it can do up to 7,450 MB/s and 6,900 MB/s, respectively, and it can achieve 1,400K random read input / output operations per second (or IOPS). That’s compared to the 980 Pro’s maximums of 7,000 MB/s for sequential reads, 5,000 MB/s for sequential writes, and 1,000K random read IOPS. While these speeds aren’t completely unheard of, they’re certainly not the norm — even high-end models from WD and Sabrent don’t really come close when it comes to write speeds.
For those that want the bleeding-edge performance of the latest and greatest — or that sweet RGB heatsink — the 990 Pro will go on sale in October, retailing at $179 for the 1TB model and $309 for the 2TB version. (For those counting, that’s $20 and $30 more than the comparable 980 Pro models’ MSRPs. Inflation is indeed hitting tech.) A 4TB model is coming next year, according to Samsung.
PS5 Beta Test:
Both the PS5 Tournaments feature as well as its public beta will be available in select countries in “coming weeks.” We currently don’t have a full list of countries but the U.S. is a lock.
PS5 Price Increase
Sony has announced it’s increasing the price of the PS5 console in territories like Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, China, and Canada. Jim Ryan takes to the PS Blog to say this is due to “high global inflation rates, as well as adverse currency trends, impacting consumers and creating pressure on many industries. Based on these challenging economic conditions, SIE has made the difficult decision to increase the recommended retail price”. The USA is not affected by the price increase.
PS5 Harry Potter:
Off the back of a new trailer presented at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022, Avalance Software has shared the pricy Hogwarts Legacy collector’s edition. Costing £274.99 on PS4 and £279.99 on PS5, you’ll get a copy of the game in a steelbook case and a magic wand that floats in the air when placed above a book detailing the layout of the school of witchcraft and wizardry. The video above shows you how Muggle technology makes it work.
