if its gonna be a boot drive you for sure want a dram drive. for a game drive or general storage this is more than fine.
If there's a substantial amount of DRAM or everything else besides the DRAM is equal, then choosing a boot drive with DRAM would be true. But between the 670p and P41 Plus, the 670p doesn't have enough DRAM to outperform the P41 Plus' newer Gen 4 controller combined with Solidgm's driver and HMB. The P41 actually performs moderately better than the 670p in most scenarios and they both have the same weaknesses associated QLC NAND speeds plummeting after their cache is filled.

The dram is not just for speed, it's also for the longevity of SSD drive. Even if the better controller makes this one a bit faster, I'll pick 670p day and night,

Way too slow. PS5 min read requirement is 5,500 MB/s, this is 4,125 MB/s.
Sony made that shit up to sell their own NVME.

$64.99 on Amazon if you want to avoid Newegg.

If you get the 5% Cach Back from Prime visa, this makes it cheaper than Newegg at approximately $61.74 AFTER cash back.

The average person using an NVME drive will:

1) Not notice the speed difference between GEN3/GEN4 outside of benchmarks or system compatibility (PS5 requires GEN4).
2) Never get close to reaching the manufacturer's stated MTTF or TBW.

If all else is equal, get a drive with higher speeds or MTTF/TBW. But if you stuck a P41 and a 980Pro/SN850X into a PS5 and loaded a game, nobody without a stopwatch would be able to tell the difference (you're arguing over tenths of a second).

Nah bruh. The only requirement is Gen 4. I have no issues with this drive in my PS5. Heatsink also a must.
A bit of a misnomer any SSD needs a heatsink for PS5. Almost every actual test I've seen is that even very fast gen 4 SSDs do not throttle when used on the PS5, without heatsink and the cover on. Tomshardware got 71c max temp on their tests of 2 very fast gen 4 drives which is pretty far off from throttling range of high 80s, but their testing was done with the PS5 not in an enclosed area (like a closed media center or something) and the ambient room temp was 23c which is about 73f.

So it really depends on where your PS5 is and how hot the room is. If you dont have a/c in your house and it gets hot where the PS5 lives in summer time, you probably want a heatsink. If you keep your room on the warmer end even with a/c like say highs 70s/low 80s (27c-ish) at times, you'll want a heatsink. If your PS5 is in an area like enclosed media cabinet where hot air will recirculate within it, you probably want a heatsink.

If your PS5 is like mine in a fully temp controlled basement that's 5+ f cooler than rest of house even in summer time and the temps rarely get over 70-ish (21c) and is sitting out in open air (not enclosed) then there's really zero need for a heatsink for the SSD in a PS5 in that situation. Everyone's situation is different though, certainly never hurts to put one on and you can do it for like $10 or less even, but it's not necessary in situations like mine where the PS5 lives. The temps on my SSD will never get close to throttling.

All true. But keep in mind that any drive can fail well before getting anywhere close to MTTF/TBW, including the "invincible" Samsung drives. Yes, Samsung drives can die, too.

I've heard a lot of bad things about Newegg's return policy and support, so I'm hesitant to purchase from them. And right now, Amazon has the same drive for $5 more with a supposed 20% discount. But I'd like to wait and purchase this a little later, so does anyone know if this is this an actual discounted price at Amazon and likely to end at any time or just the same price it's been for a while? I appreciate any help.
I've returned things a few times to newegg without any difficulties or problems but I've heard the bad stuff about newegg returns too - I would say at this price probably worth the gamble though Smilie

I notice it falls under the newegg "standard return" which is apparently also their "no hassle" return policy. One important thing.. I would install it right away as soon as it comes... sadly newegg is known for not putting enough packaging/padding around it's stuff when mailing it and sure enough I had a box dented and messed up so badly that not surprisingly the (3.5 form factor SATA) drive I ordered didn't work but no problems at all returning to newegg for a full refund. Definitely hang onto the box and any packaging materials for the full 30 days you have in which to return it to. In all fairness amazon has also done a terrible job packaging electronics or other breakable things they've shipped to me too as well as Best Buy, and so forth and so on it just depends on your luck.

As far as buying it later.. I know the m2 and ssd drives have been low priced for a very long while now which is great Smilie .. I have no idea how long the price drops will last but the longer it goes on the more nervous I get about the prices suddenly rising again.

There's a raging argument about whether or not it's worth the additional money for DRAM with a lot of people arguing if it's going to be a windows/boot drive you want DRAM on it .. here's a tom's hardware review if this helps anyone

https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...ssd-review

I think the big question here is given m2 drives like the samsung 970 evo plus is $36 more for 2 TB but apparently better performance (there's a BIG debate on that which I will do my best to dodge Stick Out Tongue ... I like to err on the side of safety and just get the highly recommended m2 drives with DRAM) ... and that they're also relatively low in price now compared to where they were before.. is it worth spending the $36 extra for the samsung say from amazon ?

What performance can I expect in a Gen 3 slot? My laptop only has Gen3
