Crazy how low prices have gone. Seems to be the lowest posted on OzBargain.
Have fun :)
CamelCamelCamel.
PCIe Gen 4 is backward compatible, but I don't think your Fujitsu U939X will benefit from the Gen 4 Speed.
Too easy, I'll just get a gen 3 one then…it's only for watching Youtube & torrenting files.
It will run at Gen 3 speeds since the CPU and mobo won't support Gen 4
If you're after a 4TB Drive, I would recommend the Team Group MP34, a midrange drive that has DRAM and TLC nand for a similar price
This is lower quality and if you won't get see the increased transfer rates since it is limited to Gen 3 speeds
I don't need a 4TB drive, I was just hijacking the post to grab some info!
I just want a decently fast & reliable SSD to replace what I expect will be a subpar inclusion.
Sequential Read: 3500 MB/s
Sequential Write: 3000 MB/s
Endurance (TBW): 800 TB
Warranty: 5 Years
Great option for a cheap daily driver for general populations, this is roughly equivalent to 200gb per day, everyday for 10 years.

I love the way you frame this, really puts into perspective just how f**king asinine the "bUt MuH tBw" comments that haunt SSD posts on this site are.
I mean, christ, OzB would lost it's mind over a 100TBW drive but even that would last you 10 years @ 25gb p/day, still hilariously OTT for like 95% of use cases.
The other way I like to look at TBW is that I could completely fill & then wipe this drive 100 times. And considering that most use cases for these large NVMe drives is game storage, data is (generally) being written once and then kept for a decent period of time.
But as you've rightfully pointed out - even with a 100TBW endurance, you could download a new game to that drive everyday and delete it at the end of the day and it still would not have hit its specified endurance after 5 years.
P3 plus is only $30 more for gen 4 speeds. No real world difference (unless you have a ps5 and buy a heat sink) https://www.amazon.com.au/Crucial-Plus-NAND-Drive-Multicolor…
So that will work well on a PS5? What heatsink would be best to pair?
Why do you guys need so much PS5 storage?
doesn't meet the speed requirement
Yeah it does, I have a 4tb P3plus in my ps5 right now and works just fine
I have a 4tb p3+ in my ps5 with a $20 heat sink from
Amazon and it works fine
HODL for the drop.
Wasn't the PNY 4TB at $299 way better?
imo the Team MP34 for $309 has been the best 4TB deal so far
Cool thanks, i'm out of date when it comes to PC hardware
Working great in 2019 iMac 4K using SinTech internal adapter. Shame upgrade not possible in later Macs.
Endurance not that great only 800TBW

MP34 M.2 PCIe SSD 4TB has 2,400TBW
If you don't care about TBW.
PCByte has
PNY CS2241 for $299
4TB: 900TBW
Interface: PCIe Gen4x 4
Read Speed : up to 5,000 MB/s
Write speed : up to 4,200 MB/s

Price dropped to $287.34
Just bought a refurb Fujitsu U939X 2-in-1, it comes with a 512GB SSD (assuming M2 because it's an ultrabook) but I assume it'll be the original (Samsung PM981) or a budget POS the seller installed, so I'm going to change it.
Will it support PCIe gen 4 drives or am I limited in some way?
