Best price in a long while for a top tier 1TB drive.
No deal for 2TB
Any Gen4 SSD will work. The speed doesn't matter. That 7,000 won't load your games much faster than even an SSD with a speed of 3,200, (it might load SOME games 1 or 2 seconds faster, but that's it), because games aren't programmed to use that extra speed. This is a great deal, though.

I'm assuming this would be good for a PS5 (with a heat sink)?
Product page claims 7000Mb/s read/write

Yes since it's over the 5gbps minimum r/w numbers.
The speed doesn't matter. No game uses anywhere close to that bandwidth. This will work well, because it's Gen4, not because of the speed being over 5gig. Sony's recommendation of 5,500mb/s is just a recommendation, not a requirement. Ask anyone who uses a slower SSD and they'll tell you it's just as fast. My 3,600mb/s one will load games just as fast as this. On occasion 1 or 2 seconds slower, but for the most part, just as fast. Games aren't programmed to use that extra speed yet.
2TB Nextorage[newegg.com] is same drive E18 Controller+Micron 176L and DDR4 DRAM just rebranded for $167.99 no $20 gift card anymore though.
Thanks for the link. Not familiar with this brand, no experience. 2 reviews mention pcie 3.0 speeds, which i already have. One of the reviewers has PRIME B560M-A board. Mine is 550 with 3700x cpu. This combo may or may not support pci4. That's why i don't want to spend too much on pci4 in case it doesn't work with my current hardware. I have to wait.
How do I check compatibility with my laptop, Dell Precision Mobile 5760? I was originally planning on buying this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...X0DER&th=1 but it looks like Kingston's has faster read and write. Crucial has a compatibility test, so I know Crucial one'll be fine. TIA.

I have the 2 Tb version in my ps5 with a heat sink. The read speed test the ps5 preformed after installing was 6500 mb/s for mine.
