XPG Atom 50 2TB PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1.4 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive SSD Up to 5,000 MB/s (AATO-50-2TCI)

Great budget M.2 drive for your PS5. It worked and as far as I know, games are loading extremely fast, comparable to onboard storage. The drive read speed was 5,100MB/s when it was formatted by the PS5 upon boot, so the system did warn that the drive was slower that its 5,500MB/s, but real-world usage, works fine.

I have been using this drive for a while and I am very satisfied with its performance! It has excellent speeds, and I got it at a good price, so I am satisfied.

UPDATE: My initial review below was for the 512 Gig version on a Z390 PCIE3 system. Since then, I have upgraded to a Z690 PCIE4 system and was looking to update to some faster NVME cards as well as replace a Platter HD. So I was only looking for Cheap and faster than what I had. The second image is the PCIE3 NVME drive I am replacing for reference. This was on sale and the cheapest/ best performance that I could find. Great Bang for the Buck. Keep in mind that the Read/Write speeds vary depending on the size NVME that you get. Typically the larger the drive the better the write speeds. Original Review: I got this to help in testing of external hardware. I needed a fast Gen 4 NVMe drive and this has been working great. I have an external SSD enclosure capable of 40 Gb/s which as a theoretical maximum allows up to 5000 MB/s which will never be achieved. What I did notice is this drive performed better on my Thunderbolt 4 port over my Thunderbolt 3 port. 2 different systems. I am not sure why the performance difference between the TB3 and TB4 ports since the TB port specs are the same. This is a good HD as it will work in your PCIe Gen 3 slot, (but only up to the 3000 MB/s speeds) until you get a newer system with a PCIe Gen4 slot which will give you max speed from this HD. Good price and performance for the price.

This m.2 card work with the PS5. It dosent have a heat sink, it has a thermal shield. This m.2still works well and so far has handle the heat nicely its not the best or the fastes. For a m.2 1tb for 87 us dollars I couldnt pass it up.

XPG is ADATA chips. Beware

It’s pretty fast on reading memory for playing games and multitasking different tasks.

Affordable and 5000mbs is more than enough you will not tell the difference in the extra 2000mbs for 60 dollars more

Fantastic, would recommend 100%. However do not purchase with anything else from Amazon. It will be shipped an unpadded envelope along with other orders. Yikes....

Working great on PS5, using an EZDIY-FAB M.2 SSD 2280 heatsink.
