Do you think I would notice a huge difference in gaming if I bought this compared to the 980 pro?

For gaming, you won't notice any difference. Even for game load times on a SSD, the bottleneck is the CPU decompressing the textures before sending it to the GPU and other such stuff. We are well past the point that NVMe drives are the bottleneck in the chain.

I had the same concern, from the brief reading I did, the difference between PCIE4 and 3 NVMe performance for gaming will be neglible. I ended up grabbing this Evo and I'll reconsider a gen 4 drive once prices drop a bit.

Does anybody use these in enclosures? Wondering if I should purchase this or a T5/T7. I would primarily use to edit videos directly on the SSD.

But will it work on PS5?

Ps5 support gen 4×4 and this one is gen 3×4. Sony hasn't revealed too many details on NVMe compatibility yet. So the answer is probably no for now.

Good for Ps5 ?

Maybe? Playstation 5 does not support storage expansion at the moment but it has USB slots. The internal storage is soldered on. Consider buying a USB enclosure for a M.2 SSD or other USB storage device.
