Factoring in compression for certain data, we are getting close to the amount of memory bandwidth PS3 and 360 had (disregarding edram)12GB/s
Not via Flash. You need a different memory type of which i don't know if there is one. In the absence of that, you just have to fall back to the existing ways of dealing with latency between storage pools - buffers and precaching. The issue you speak of is no different to that faced from a processor needing data that's in registers versus that in main RAM, and the solutions are the same.
I had an NvME PCI4 1TB SSD from Seagate die recently after only 3 years of operation.
Is that the norm from wear, or an outlier from a defective product? Outliers will always happen for any product.
That was the tech a couldn't remember!
but thats the thing - it will never be dumped entirely if people count on low tech PCs to be able to run a bare minimum version of a Current Gen only game. There are still plenty of People out there with 4 Core CPUs and a damn RX 480 or similar GPU... And those poeple will not have a SSD either. So PC Based Games will never drop Last gen iam affraid. Your only hope will be PS5 Exclusives later ported to PC will will hopefully leverage the PS5 to an extent that menitioned PC Setup is not even able to reach the main menue.Can't wait for last gen to be fully dumped. PS5/Xbox SSD and direct storage on PC...I feel like devs can be creative with exploiting to some degree the lack of storage bottleneck on a variety of applications. It doesn't have to be extreme edge cases like portal transitions but other things we might not think of
I hope an outlier as it was my first NvME SSD. I got two NvME WD SN850 after and I expect them to be good for a long time. It was a wake up call tough, since SSD when they die, they really die, very low chance of recovering data unlike an HDD.
That's true but at the same time console adoption is what raises the baseline spec. Requirements lifted when PS4 and Xbox one were the hardware being targeted and the same will be true once last gen is dropped. Hdd owners who want to play certain games will be forced to upgrade to ssd. In the crossgen phase there is no need but that will change
Was it in a low memory system? The only time I've seen an SSD die from wear was in an 8GB system that required 32GB. It still took about 2.5 years of writing 17GB every hour on average.
It's still very much out in the enterprise domain, even if commodity versions are rare. 3DXPoint is a joint venture between Micron and Intel; the consumer-facing branding was Intel's Optane lane. For enterprise-grade use, the priority focus was minimizing latency rather than top-line maximal bandwidth numbers -- although later versions continue delivering on both fronts.

Sony revealed 30Millions sold true PS5 by Jan´ 23. So combined with Xbox S and X there should be all in all around 50Million Current Gen Consoles. I think PS4/Xbox One Adoption rates where similar enough when they droped Xbox 360 /PS3 support back then. And i think it was also around 2 years in the cycle...
