any good for ps5?
Apparently its Compatible with PS5
Good for now. In the future? We don't know.
I'm looking for 2 ssds, one for windows and one for my steam library. Would this be good for either? What would the better options be for each use case?
These are totally fine. Looking at synthetic benchmarks to justify (not) buying an m2 drive is as dumb as it can get. Real-world performance differences are negligible. People already cannot tell the difference between "slow" SATA and "fast" M2 drives in blind tests at all, let alone between two already fast M2 drives.

Yep, fine for both.
Unless you're regularly moving multiple gigantic (100GB+) files between SSDs and filling them right to the brim, any old modern drive is generally fine 👌
WD SN570 could be a good starting point.
WD SN770 could be a good PCIe 4 Drive.
I'd avoid Samsung for now until they fix their 0E drama (they said the firmware will fix it but will it?)
about the only company that produces NAND chip themselves (that you can buy here in Australia) without drama going on recently.
Any suggestions for an enclosure for this SSD with usb 3 cable interface for a desktop without motherboard slot for these type of SSD. What is the best solution.
I wouldn't recommend using this in an enclosure. They heat up so much of the enclosure, being not as efficient as more expensive drives.
