People here need to realize that the real value of the drive is in the endurance specs. It's 3600 TBW. That means this drive can be overwritten 1800 times and it will still perform within spec. That's like filling this drive for everyday for 4.5 yrs. That's some insane psuedo enterprise-level specs. Even the WD Red NVMe SSD's that's advertised for NAS usage has 2500 TBW. It may not be a speed demon but it's an endurance demon for sure. Most of these drives will outlast the consumer electronics they are installed in. That's a good thing. Time will tell but this is hella good deal. The last time it was anywhere near this price was almost 5-6 months ago when Newegg had a surprise 25% coupon for SSD's and this was priced $250 at that time (effectively $187.5). BEWARE: this is a double-sided NVME. May not work for all slots. Do your research on slot clearances before you order.

For Gen 4 NVMe SSD in this size, I would say yes. AMD has been PCI-E GEN4 for a while, and only recently with Intel with the 11th Gen series (with 5x0 Motherboard and UP).

Also should be good for a PS5 (for speed requirements).

If you don't have those, there is no real advantage in speed over a cheaper ("slower") GEN3 NVMe SSD.

Any Gen 4 will work, regardless of how below the PlayStation specification it is. So far there's been absolutely no impact for in-game performance with any games tested. This could always change in the future, at which point you'd have to put the new game on the internal and the rest can safely stay on this expansion drive.

Yes. Need a heat sink for PS5 use, though

Best Buy is selling the same drive for $330, so seems like a great deal!

It would be if it included a heatsink
It's not like heatsinks are expensive so I don't understand this as a reason to knock it.

This is the cheapest I've seen a 2TB Gen4 NVMe drive so far. I don't regret picking up a WD Black for my PS5 back around Christmas but I also paid $100+ more for it.

Isn't this an amazing price even if you don't need GEN4?

Same with me, paid around $300 for WD SN850 😢

Kingston has one cheaper, but also didn't include a heatsink.

I'd say it's a valid criticism, though, because it's a hidden extra cost

Niw Amazon has gen 4 XPG s50 lite for 169 with 20 off clipped coupon. But it slower in terms of read and write

For what it's worth, the PS5 recommends sequential read speed of 5500MBps or faster, and this is 5000. I'm not sure if the PS5 will actually check performance and not use this, but it's worth noting. Anyone know? Will the 500 difference disqualify this from being used, or is that just a recommendation?

I've read articles when people successfully used XPG drive with 3000Mbps on PS5
