Not flagship gen4 speeds but still a really great price if someone doesn't care for the aforementioned.

Flagship nvme 4 has lower tbw so if reliability is important this is a good price point

Read and write speeds for this are 5000 MB/s and 4400 MB/s. If you are using for PS5 then you should get the (SB-RKT4P-2TB) R/W 7100/6600 to take full advantage of the PS5's speed.
Nope. It doesn't work like that. Not a single game uses the full bandwidth of SSDs, yet, so that 7100 is completely useless. It would literally load games 1 or 2 seconds faster than the stock SSD. Digital Foundry tested a drive with a speed of 3200 and even that was nearly identical to the stock one. On occasion, it took one second longer to load. That was the only difference. No mid-level loading or any hiccups.

I have one with a speed of 3600 (the PS5 reads it at 3400) and there is no difference at all. The only reason to get something as fast as what you mentioned would be for future-proofing, which is fine, but until games start actually taking advantage of that speed, it's just sitting there and it's a waste of money.

This is actually a good deal, as far as 2TB goes. This is a much better purchase for PS5 than what you're talking about.

By the time we see the difference between the nvme drives, PS8 will be out.

Before I spend money on an eye exam, can you point out where the price is in the title?

Sabrent 2TB Rocket NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-2TB)

That is POST #1. There is a post #3 that does have the price, but unfortunately, SD's doesn't use post #3 to advertise a deal.

Not sure if it helps, but this was on their website: "Our Rocket NVMe 4.0 comes with TLC and DRAM to make sure you never suffer any performance pitfalls. Be fast, day or night, and leave the competition in the dust."
