    Sony recommends Gen4 5,500mb read minimum for PS5. This drive is 5,000mb. It may technically work for now in a PS5 but there is no guarantee you will not have issues in the future as Sony does not recommend a drive with these specs.

      PS5's test on SSD so far has been a bit strange. This SSD and the PNY one both showing 5600MB/s sequential read. So, that points to sequential read test with 0 fill, which a lot of SSDs can benefit from (getting much better result than standard default sequential read test). For some odd reason, Samsung 980 Pro did well in the test in the beta firmware but that figure drops a lot in the release firmware.

      We are yet to see 1 game where these below specs SSD struggles. SN750 SE is below specs (and yet PS5 reports is read being 5000MB/s - again, probably because it is 0 fill so it can kinda cheat). SN750 SE is really at PCIe gen 3 level, but to save cost, WD picked a 3rd party cheap PCIe gen 4 controller (no 3rd party PCIe gen 3 controller can compete with WD or Samsung's in hose controller so WD had to pick a cheap PCIe gen 4 one).

      PS5 internal SSD with custom SSD core definitely is able to do some multi priority level reads well. Problem is, the programming side to really use all 6 levels at once is really complicated and that complexity is difficult to code / keep track.

        SSD drives such as SN750 SE may technically work for now but there is no guarantee that in the future they will work on newer games and not cause any system issues. If such issues were too happen it would then not be Sony's fault and consumers who did use below spec SSD drives would be the ones to blame for themselves for any issues relating to their PS5 as they were warned prior to using officially by Sony.

  It may be budget, but has 3x the endurance of the Samsung 980 2TB. Odd that?

    This SSD's main competitor is PNY XLR8 SSD CS3040, which has basically the same design (same controller, same NAND provider, except different batches) and same endurance rating. It appears to be decent over-provisioning. However, we know Samsung does underquote the endurance rating.

    PNY XLR8 SSD CS3040 basically undercuts it in price (though that special OZB deal from PCCG has ended a while ago).
