New product as of Nov 2. See below for discussion of PS5.
PCIe Gen 4 Read/Write 5000 MB/s/4500 MB/s TLC but DRAM-less. If you are using Windows you should be fine because it uses HMB (Host Memory Buffer) which is enabled in Win 10 and Win 11.

On Amazon, it shows as $120 for me with an additional $40 off coupon checkbox. Seems like a really good deal for anyone that gets that checkbox.

Minimum recommended read speed for PS5 is 5500MB/s. This one is 5000.
I run the drive below in my PS5 and it is rated at 5000/4400 read/write and it works fine. The PS5 self test actually came up at 5636 MB/s on my drive. There are much slower drives that have been reported as working as well (e.g. 3200)
Ordered then canceled even though I got it for $86 after coupon.
I looked up the specs and it is using a new controller, IG5220, which is DRAM-less. Meaning this SSD is going to get SLOOOOOW as it fills up. I would be worried about it slowing down as the drive filled.

Also, it only has expected lifespan of 650 TBW which is really low. I would not use this in any PC application, but maybe for PS5 it would be okay? I would still be worried about it slowing down as the drive filled however.
650 TBW is pretty standard for 1TB drives. Look at the best Gen4 drives and their TBW:
WD Black SN850 1TB: 600 TBW
Samsung 980 Pro 1TB: 600 TBW
Sabrent Rocket 4+ 1TB: 700 TBW

The only thing that's needed is pci express gen 4.
