PCIe NVMe Gen 4 x4 Interface
Up to 5000 MB/s Sequential Read Speed
Up to 4200 MB/s Sequential Write Speed
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.

Not everyone needs the biggest and baddest, just a good drive.
