PS5 only cares about gen 4. It could be the worst gen4 and PS5 don't give a crap.
And based on review, as well as my own experience, no game to date take advantage of gen 4 speed. Even the worst gen 4 SSD tested by digital foundry shows no meaningful difference between the inetnal drive, and the best gen4 disk

Decision decision
"TLDR: please avoid the 2TB version if possible.
After I transferred my entire Steam/EPIC library to the new drive, the speed dropped drastically and we are now talking about SATA level of performance. This is less than half of what Kingston promised to deliver and I have decided to return it. The 2TB version uses a DIFFERENT controller than the 1TB version reviewed by TPU, the different firmware version confirms it."

The Gen 3 versions of SK Hynix P31 and Samsung 970 Evo Plus have same read, but faster write.
3500mb/s - 2300mb/s - Kingston
3500mb/s - 3200mb/s - SK Hynix P31 ($150 2tb @ amazon)
3500mb/s - 3300mb/s - Samsung 970 Evo Plus (Has been $150 many times)

Really slow (560mbs/530mbs) vs the speed that I listed.
Only get a SATA drive if your laptop is really old and doesn't support NVME.

I'd go with a trusted name brand for installing Windows on.

Tested it for the past few days without any perceivable slowdown compared to running games off the internal NVMe drive.
This whole 5,000MB/s thing is nonsense for gaming reads / writes.
I've also installed a nice aluminum heatsink shroud (2 pack for 10 bucks on Amazon to keep the drive cool inside my PS5.
At $110 you can't go wrong with it.
