Excellent price for a 4TB NVME TLC SSD. Lowest I've seen for a decent 4TB NVME, and this is the lowest this has been at CCC. This is $699 at PCCG.
- 5 year warranty
- TLC flash
- Has DRAM
- 1.3 PCIe Gen3x4 — NOT SUITABLE FOR PS5
- Read/Write Speed up to 3,500/2,900 MB/s (likely around 400GB of SLC cache at this speed when empty, ~2000MB/s write when full)
Yes, this item ships to Australian addresses from Amazon USA (amazon.com). If you try to purchase from Amazon Australia, prepare to pay more ($664AUD).
Tip: Pay with a low-international fee card, and select "USD" at checkout to save ~3% more. Up bank, ING etc.
I'm curious;
There was a LOT of debate over the PS5's need (vs its ability) to use top of the line SSD's.
I remember a few users and reviewers proving that older gen worked fine on all games (released as of 2020).
Has something (a game? A firmware patch?) Been released since to make the need of latest gen NVME drives actually required?
I was always impressed it had the ability to use such fast drives; but nothing was taking advantage when I looked into it at the start of the pandemic.
Things change?
