Looks to.be OK for ps5

PCIe NVMe Gen 4 x4 Interface
Up to 5000 MB/s Sequential Read Speed
Up to 4200 MB/s Sequential Write Speed
That IS gen 4
For those asking about this in a PS5:

Sony gives specs saying it has to be a Gen4 NVMe drive with certain read/write minimum speeds.

If you look through YouTube (NAScompares for example) you'll find a LOT of tests showing that any Gen4 drive will work even if it doesn't hit that magical (according to Sony) 5,500 MB/s mark.

Things will just be slower. Go watch some side by side tests to see if that slower speed is worth ≈$50-$75 to you. (hint: we're talking about an additional 0.5 -2 seconds load time here or there, not a difference 5 or 10 seconds…)

So yes, this should work fine in a PS5 as it's a gen 4 NVMe drive. But like all drives in a PS5 it really should have a decent heat sync attached to avoid thermal throttling.

Personally, I'd want to wait for a deal on a slightly better drive, but if money is tight, this will function fine.

For example, a P5 Pro with heat sync is currently $175 ($169 without) at Amazon. It hit $150 last month at B&H without the sync. That drive also doesn't meet Sony's minimum advertised performance numbers but tests show it is reeeealy close in real world performance to the better drives that do meet/exceed them (eg SN850/850x, 980 Pro, Firecuda 530, or Rocket 4 plus.) That for me is the current "sweet spot" drive.

But a really good sale on one of the "better drives" would obviously change that for me.

This reminds me of the old Nintendo Cartridges that held what, 1 MB of memory.

Tempted to use one of these, or one like it, on a PC that doesn't have M.2 slots but does have an extra PCIe x 16 that could be used with an adapter, but I'm not sure that I want to take the risk that it won't work.

No possibility of a BIOS update, but also no need to boot from this new drive, either, just used as a secondary.


Of course, I could just get the SATA version of this, which definitely would work, but I like to have an eye toward the next system, where an M.2 would make more sense.

Quote from TimGoPackGo :
I thought the purpose of solid state drive is for them to be nearly instantaneous on data transfer? Are there any good deals on ones that are compatible with ps5? Thanks for the warning on this one!
That IS gen 4
