External SSD doesn't run optimized games

You do realize when we say exponently faster we are talking about gbps and less.bottle necks right?

Storage cards run at 4.8gbps and has direct access to the north bridge as its sitting on the pcie bus and has 8 lanes to the cpu and. memory

Your ssd is limited by the USB bus and everything else.between it and the north bridge

500mbps and you have to goto the USB host controller then pcie and the South bridge and then north bridge

A d this I'd why computers and modern devices don't use hdds anymore for bootup I boot up in seconds not 5mins

The idEa is To have a consistent experience you which is why optimized games are group together you don't want half your players loading 5mins laater then others just because they are only running at a quarter of.the speed as the other hakf

Even internal had manufacturer had that problem because of the old.bus masters hddbusmaster and then the pcie then your Northridge etc

Every bottle neck adds more.time

There is no update, nor will there be. The internal storage and the Seagate card are exponentially faster than any USB 3.0 drive.

You also cannot run PS5 games from external drives on PS5

You can run Xbox One and PS4 versions from those drives.

Ok, Ploy it is then. Looks like I gotta spend twice the price for storage. I hope they push an update soom.

It's working as intended. Series X optimized games will only work on the internal drive or the expansion card.

If he has a Series S/X and is trying to play a Series S/X optimized game, it will only run on the internal drive or on an expansion card made for the Series S/X. It won't run on a regular external hard drive or SSD.
