From the techpowerup review:
"Our real-life testing suite goes beyond synthetics and runs the actual applications at 80% disk full, which is a more realistic scenario than a completely empty drive running a synthetic test. Real-life benchmarks are much harder to optimize for, too. Here, the Rocket Q4 shows much weaker numbers that are surprisingly low. When averaged over all our tests, the Q4 matches PCIe 3.0 mid-range drives like the Kingston A2000 and Samsung 970 EVO. High-end Gen 3 drives like the ADATA SX8200 Pro, Kingston KC2000, HP EX950, and Hynix Gold P31 are between 6 and 9% faster—not that much, but still significant."
Considering most systems only have a single gen4 NVMe slot, it might be better to get a similar price and quality gen3 drive rather than this, and save that gen4 slot for a higher quality and speed option

Digitimes: Samsung new NAND flash capacity coming online in 2H21 may worsen price falls.

Everyone has been brainwashed to eat these high price because xyz reasons. It's easier and cheaper to print ssd NAND memory than make a hard drive yet you don't see those staying stationary at 1-2TB for the past 4 years.

It's under Sony's recommended speed, but I'm sure it'll still work. Might just have loads speeds be a second or two slower at worst.

This is usable with the PS5, but not recommended. It's under the recommended speed. The Rocket Plus is the one you'd have to get.

Can u use this heatsink for pc too, or only for ps5?
Gen4 so it will work in a PS5
4700 read speed < 5500 Sony recommended
In real life, you probably won't notice any difference, especially with PS4 games.
There are many examples of people on Reddit who got "slow" gen4 SSDs working in their PS5
