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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Along with SSD, I should have purchased the Controller+Charger bundle ($69.99 after $20 off) instead of protein powder (I already have portable monitor). I was too hung up on getting something in $25-$30 range to get to $250.
I got PS5 slim disc with 20% Paypal cashback, and getting 4TB SSD, extra controller, charger for $255 ($225 + $70 - $40) + tax would've been nice.

DRAM less design. Is it a good option to use as external drive to run guest OS on this one? of course after removing the heatsink
No, that's where these things fail, no hmb over usb

My order for the SSD got cancelled. The protein I ordered was delivered though with partial discount.
