Yes, you can technically use this is in a PS5, however you must install with a heat sink & read speed are "Up to 5000 MBps" not 5500 recommended by Sony.

How much impact will that have in real world use?

Currently none whatsoever. However, there may be a day where developers may really use the full 5500MBps pipe and that would translate to around a 1 sec of screen pauses at certain loading sections

I think this may be one of the models that fails to completely flush cache writes in the event of a power outage, leading to data corruption. It's worth checking via a google search.

I'd be totally fine throwing this into the PS5. 1-2 second longer loading times? I'll be fine.

The bigger issue would be potential game crashes.

Curious how you get "1 second"?
That mean that the system is loading 55,000 MB of data (the 5500MBps drive would take 10 seconds, and the 5000MBps drive would take 11 seconds).

Given the system has only 16,000 MB of RAM, this seems unlikely, as the system would have to discard about 70% of what it's reading.

I may be remembering the wrong drive but isn't this the one that was benched at 3500Mbps instead of the advertised speed? If the game requires the full 5500Mbps to stream assets wouldn't that equate to about a second pause in-game? Also, from my understanding of the ps5, I believe the architecture allows the SSD to stream data directly onto the GPU instead of going to system RAM first. That's what i got from my reading and watching videos on it.

Gawd, I'm so sick of these gamerz pivoting any Gen4 thread to that damn PS5, which is the least productive and least necessary use of the PCIe technology imaginable.
bruh, PS5 is one of the most popular devices in 2021-2022. everyone needs more memory for PS5 console

Newegg is the person on your credit card. If there's an issue you'll be asking them to resolve it. Don't give Newegg money.

When I built my new computer at the end of 2021 (Ryzen 5900x, EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra), I bought one of these to use as a non-OS M.2 drive in the system. The first drive was completely dead and could not be detected by either Windows or the BIOS.

I contacted the company to see if there was some setting or initialization that I was missing and they shrugged their shoulders and said there was not, and it must be a bad drive. I tried another of the exact same model and it was exactly the same. I ended up exchanging it for a Samsung 2TB drive that worked flawlessly. It's possible I was extremely unlucky, but I personally cannot recommend this particular drive.
