PS5 shows lower read speed on SSD than stated by manufacturer?

Dice1234ByDice1234

I installed a new SSD with a stated read speed of 7450 MB/s in my PS5. However, the console only shows a speed of 6560 MB/s. The SSD is a Samsung 990 Pro with heatsink (2TB). Is there anything I can do about this?

What the manufacturer indicates is the maximum that can be lower in practice.
1000 MB/s second, do not make a big difference with fast SSDs.

This is quite normal, for example, with PC and XBOX Series X.

This is also the case with Internet speed. This means, for example, up to 1000 Mbit/s, which is hardly reached. If I'm lucky, I'll get to the XBOX Series X at 800 – 900 Mbit/s. Mostly, however, it is only 500-600 Mbit/s. With my PS4 the download speed is much lower.

Everything has to be perfectly matched so that you really achieve the maximum speed.

The maximum speed depends on several factors so the interplay of the hardware of ps5 and the hard drive can ensure that it does not produce the maximum speed.

Furthermore, manufacturers say not at least so much speed but up to. I'd say that's all right
