Big price drop (-$700) on this model. One of the few TLC based 4TB NVME PCIe Gen4 SSD drives.

Should be PS5 compatible, but I don't know that TLC is really required for that application, a QLC drive would be fine. It is lacking a heatsink however.

Read speeds: up to 7,300 MB/s
Endurance: 5,100 TBW
Warranty: 3-Year Rescue Service

  Tempting, but still a bit of a premium compared to some high speed 2TB models.

    It really is. They are milking us early adopters. I am still holding off for the moment, have been tossing up about the 8TB QVO SATA Samsung SSD's for bulk data storage, but my 2TB boot drive is full, so this is looking mighty tempting….

  I got a 1TB for my PS5 and it's already full. Should have got 2TB or maybe this!!

    Question for you if you don’t mind, how much of that 1TB do you actually utilise?
    Like, do you play 50 different games a month or do you have 700gb of saved gaming clips??

      All games on the 1TB but the PS5 SSD is empty.

      I play a few games at a time and have a few sport games to play with kids or mates.

  isnt it better to go with a pci card adaptor that could accommodate multiple ssds?

  i wonder how much bandwidth would be restricted if connected to 4x, 8x, 16x slots.

    Unless you have server grade motherboard, it is not worth it. Also, PCIe gen 5 SSDs are coming.
    For consumer grade motherboards, you need to know whether the PCIe x4 slot is wired to the chipset or the CPU. Also, whether it is PCIe gen 3 or 4. There are some special B550 boards which splits the PCIe x16 slots, but those are expensive.

    If your motherboard BIOS has a PCIe bifurcation option you can split a 16x lane into four 4x lanes, using a card like the ASUS Hyper M.2 x16. This is bootable. Bootable CPU software raid is also possible if you have the right magic Intel VROC plug (not recommended).

    There are also PCIe NVME RAID cards from HighPoint Technologies that have an onboard chipset to handle multiple SSD's, however only some of those are bootable.

    Myself, I use a Hyper 16x and have multiple 2TB drives on an X299 platform motherboard, as well as using the onboard motherboard M.2 slots. Works great. But still running out of storage rapidly! (and all limited to PCIe 3 due to old motherboard…)
