There are 8 bits in 1 byte. So if you want to compare the speed, it would actually be ~16x slower to download vs transfer from this drive into internal PS5/XSX console.

Everywhere else, such as Amazon, Best Buy, it's: SDSSDE61-1T00-G25
Is this just Costco's way of making it their own like they do with other products?
now with that being said for everyone who's asking about the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5
This will not be as fast nor as "up to date" as your current next gen consoles internal drive - those are proprietary and they limit what external drive you use and what it is capable of running.
As for speed, some tests show an external like this one runs PS4 games faster than the internal SSD on the PS5. YMMV of course. Personally, for PS4 games played on the PS5, this should do me nicely and I'll probably grab one.

Tonight I'll be a sneaky boi and try to see if Best Buy can price match the drive so I can ship the $10 game for 8/15.

This comparison only applies to this Sandisk and the t7. Other Sandisk products are not really there yet. We will see if they will improve after WD took over.
ps. i previously bought a t5 and last week when i got this sandisk, i realized this sandisk has a much shorter usb-c cable than the t5. It's no big deal as I can replace/interchange the cables easily.
