All the reviews on Amazon are in a foreign language. Seems fishy

There are no reviews from the US as yet on it (must have been put up as a new listing). What you are seeing are reviews from other countries which is also present for any other product.

This would be comparable to the WD SN 570 and has better performance than a lot of Gen 3 SSDs. Also uses 112 layer TLC. You can get much higher speeds from this NAND like the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus but to keep it in budget it has a weak single core controller with just 4 channels that cannot really exploit PCIe 4.

The fact that it has a Gen 4 interface really doesn't contribute to anything other than possibly not being rejected by PS5.

Better than most of the crap budget ones from Team, etc.

Pretty decent review

I thought gen 4 was the only requirement? Is there something else? Apologies for ignorance

5500 MB/s sequential reading speed is required. This one here has just 3500 MB/s. Should work fine with most current titles, but you never know if there'll be some future games that fully utilize the PS5's SSD speed.

Thanks so much. I guess it will technically work but will be slower. Looks like theverge did an article last year and reported slower drives worked but may not be very future proof for PS5

Eh, 640 TBW...

Solidigm is Intel QLC, 800 TBW.

Not sure why this drive is even PCIe 4.0 considering it has PCIe 3.0 speeds (beaten by the better PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives)

I'd recommend just getting a PCIe 3.0 drive. PCIe 4.0 generally runs hotter than PCIe 3.0 so if you're getting the same speeds out of both... just get the 3.0 imo

EDIT: Removed the part about getting a PCIe 3.0 drive for PS5 due to compatibility issues

PS5 straight up rejects pcie gen 3.0 drives, so not sure what you're trying to say there. at least this drive should work. whether it'll ever bottleneck performance, no one knows for sure. i'm personally surprised that sequential read is the parameter sony used as a requirement for PS5. IOPs would affect gaming more (at least i'd think)

Whoops, my bad. That's how you know I don't own a PS5... I'm used to PC where PCIe 4.0 is backwards compatible. I'm honestly surprised PS5 is restricted to PCIe 4.0 since its advantage over 3.0 on PC isn't that great for standard gaming use. I believe most PC users who use PCIe 4.0 do it for massive amounts of transfers for certain types of projects.

The only advantage a faster drive would get you right now would be for transferring files since downloads would be limited by Internet speed for most people and load times aren't affected too much by R/W speed according to a test done by The Verge [theverge.com]. And according to an older reddit thread [reddit.com], load time bottlenecks these days are typically due to CPU and/or GPU.

TBW is a pretty meaningless stat on it's own.
