A new video comparing the speed and performance of the PlayStation 5 internal SSD with an M.2 drive has been shared online, highlighting some interesting facts.

The new video, shared on YouTube by MiDASTECH, compares the console's internal SSD with a Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB drive. While load times and performance do seem to be pretty much identical in games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it seems like transferring games from the M.2 drive to the internal SSD takes way too much time, given the drive's specs. It took around 2 minutes and 51 seconds to transfer 39 GB from the M.2 drive to the internal SSD, which seems to indicate that write speeds are currently being limited in this scenario. As the firmware is still in beta, there's the possibility that this won't happen in the final release of the firmware.
