  PS5 has stopped using zero fill test for quite some time now (because Phison E16, E19, E18, E21 SSDs can cheat big time in such test). As such, this SSD is now correctly tested by PS5 to be below the recommended read speed.

  Don't get me wrong, I personally use a E16 based SSD with my PS5 (coz. it was the cheapest at the time). E16's sustained write is quite ordinary, and all E16 SSDs have really high TBW rating.

    all E16 SSDs have really high TBW rating

    Why is that? Seems weird when Samsung and WD are only advertising 1200 TBW.

      My guess is that E16 SSDs have more spare cells and / or the 96L TLC from Toshiba happens to have better total write cycles. Another reason could be E16 SSDs needed something to entice buyers so the TBW is closer to the real TBW. Majority of the SSD makers tend to underquote. The TBW is basically something to stop people from doing non-stop crazy writes on SSDs and then claim through warranty.

      However, pretty much all my failed SSDs were not readable on PC (completely dead) so how would the RMA department read the stats? 50% of my failed SSDs had warranty done through the retailer and the retailer didn't even test/check. All my failed SSDs had less than 1.5TB total written so TBW to me is pretty useless.
