TEAMGROUP T-Force CARDEA Zero Z440 1TB DRAM SLC Cache, 3D NAND, TLC NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280 Gaming SSD Read/Write 5,000/4,400 MB/s TM8FP7001T0C311
Specs seem pretty good. Seems to be the lowest price according to the three C's.
I bought one to try on the PS5 since it only misses the mark by 500 MB/s but is substantially cheaper.

Good call. I cancelled my order and got the ceramic as well.
Glad I could help. Thanks for posting the deal!

Thanks! Also went with thin ceramic cooling to ensure it fits the PS5!
*Though it looks like the OP version has a copper/graphene heatsink installed. I'm sure either will suffice if one or the other isn't available for purchase.
Review for ceramic.

I received my drive and the PS5 says its read speed is 5622.61 MB/s exceeding what the rated speed is and fulfills the PS5 minimum requirements.
My only concern is that I got the ceramic version and the ceramic part comes off fairly easily. The adhesive doesn't seem to be very sticky.

Not sure. The adhesive seems like double sided tape. I wonder if the heat generated will eventually make it more sticky. Please update if yours came off easily as well.

The question is are you willing to risk it to buy something that isnt fast enough and later on sony updates firmware to block the use of these drives that dont make the cut. It could happen.
