I wonder why they're not using TB/s like 14.9TB/s
Edit: GB/s
Because those are megabytes, not gigabytes
Oh good point. 14.9GB/s
probably a holdover from the sata days, or simply because it's nice to show the number doubling into tens of thousands
Assuming you meant GB/s, not TB/s, I think it's for the sake of convenience when doing comparisons - there are still SATA SSDs around and in terms of sequential reads and writes those top out at what the interface allows, i.e. 500-550 MB/s.
Yeah, i meant GB/s. Thanks for pointing that out.
Because bigger number better.
That's basically how all storage speeds are handled. HDDs are around 300MB/s, current NVMEs are around 7000MB/s, etc. Keep everything in the same scale for easier comparison.
So computer illiterate don’t think it’s a smaller number
