PS5 doesn't even support PCIe 5.0. It's a 4.0x4 M.2 slot. You'd get zero benefit from a 5.0 drive, and likely have a worse time with temperatures since these early gen 5 controllers run hot.

Community Reviews

This bundle pairs a 4TB Lexar PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with a 15.6 inch MSI portable monitor, and the standout appeal is the storage capacity for PS5 expansion. The drive is described as TLC in some reviews, while the Costco model is also called out as QLC in others, so the exact NAND type is a key point to verify. For PS5 use, the drive is still framed as a read heavy fit, and the heatsink can be removed if needed. The monitor adds extra value, especially with its full size HDMI port, making the package feel more compelling than the SSD alone.

  • The Lexar 4TB PS5 NVMe model reportedly uses TLC, which can ease concerns about rewrite ability and longevity.

  • The SSD heatsink can reportedly be removed, which makes installation more flexible for different setups.

    Slick_Drone

  • The deal can work well for PS5 storage needs because PS5 space can run low even after adding a 1TB SSD.

    dalto

  • The PS5 only supports PCIe 4.0x4 M.2, so a PCIe 5.0 drive would provide no benefit for that console slot.

    johnny_5.0

  • The Costco version is reportedly a QLC variant, which can reduce wear lifespan and overall value at this price.

    jaybuk6er

  • The SSD is reportedly DRAM-less and relies on HMB, but PS5 support for HMB is questioned and USB use reportedly lacks HMB.

    daltomegablank

  • QLC tradeoffs can include slow writes after SLC cache exhaustion, which may matter for workloads with heavier writes.

    dalto

  • The deal may be less attractive if the portable monitor is not needed, since the SSD alone is the main decision point.

For those curious about the drive, I found a review of this model number, and it shows it is a TLC drive (I was worried it was a QLC drive, which potentially has less of an ability to rewrite sections of the drive and may have lower life). This would be a good deal for the drive alone, the monitor included at that price is awesome.

I know it's not a hard requirement, but isn't gen 5 recommended for PS5?

This is a great deal. I was just noticing last night that I was almost completely out of space on my PS5 even though I added a 1 TB SSD a few years ago.
Although, I now have too many portable monitors. I will probably need to return the AOC I picked up a few days ago. I like that the recent AOC has an integrated cover but I like that this one has a full sized HDMI port.

Do the USB-C ports on these things also output display?

You can remove the heatsink, per the link @Mike_W posted.

There are mixed reviews about whether the chips are TLC or QLC for Costco & non-Costco version:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/2...eview.html
https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews...index.html

Still good deal though since we won't notice much difference for PS5 use case.

What's a good 4 TB, hard drive for upgrading PS5.

Find something else in the promotion that costs $25, add it to your cart and the cost will be $210.
