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.

Oops. What you quoted is 100% correct, which is why instead of disputing it, you rebutted it with an opinion about something abstract. There is no advantage now - or for the foreseeable future - of having a bleeding edge SSD. I'd also love to claim my WD Black is somehow faster than whatever SSD Shake-N-Bake is using, but our experiences are probably identical. Fantasy is fun, but there is no escape from reality.
Also, *you're.

I don't recommend these for laptops. Gen4 drives (like this one) runs very hot and temperatures matter a lot more than speed on laptops. If these gets hot the speed will throttle and even the laptop might throttle as well.
My personal recommendation is SK Hynix P31 but they are known to lose data on power loss, for most this won't be an issue for laptops. My second recommendation is the Samsung 980 (non-PRO). My personal research has shown it is one of the coolest running SSDs, I have not found a direct comparison to P31 but from comparing reviews from same site, the 980 does seem to run a little bit cooler. The 980 does NOT have DRAM, and instead uses the CPU's, in real life, most people won't notice a difference. I do not know 980's behavior during power loss but Samsung have had a good track record of dealing with power loss appropriately.
