best SSD for PS5

If you buy this for a motherboard make sure you have room for the heat sink. Bought this with a bunch of other parts. Us gamers think about performance and heat. Heat is the enemy. So big bad ass heat sink? Yes, please! But no. I realized that most of these gaming mother boards already have added big honking heatsinks and thermal paste to the NVMe ports and this will just mess up the whole thing and not fit.

I have ten different M.2 drives, all but one are NVMe, one is SATA. Five like this one are gen 4. I actually have two of these drives and the only other one that is in this speed class is a Samsung 980PRO. I purchased this drive after scouring reviews and looking at specifications, then looking for the price break point, and the best available deal. I was able to get this drive for $99.00. I have attached a screen capture of the CrystalMark numbers from a machine with a core i7-1260p and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM. Not up to the rating numbers from the manufacturer, but pretty fast none the less. After running the test the driver was at 125 degrees F. I am pretty pleased with the performance of the drive so far, but while the durability ratings are good, only time will tell in real world use. I purchased two of these drives to allow me to keep an updated clone of the system which I could swap into the system if I had a failure. Hopefully, it will be insurance that I wont have to use.

Everything is Perfect !

Bought it during black friday for 55usd. Steal! Been using it as a boot drive. Synthetic bench seq read reached the advertised 7gbps.

Blazing fast speed! This 4TB NVMe M.2 SSD is a powerhouse of performance. With personal speeds reaching up to 7000 MB/s, this SSD delivers more than a normal person will ever need. Whether youre a demanding user or a creative professional, this SSD is the ultimate choice for power and speed. I expect to have this act as my main drive for years to come.

This thing is really fast

So fast works great in my ps5
