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.

Get 4 packs of Airtags for $250 total. It much better than the portable monitor that you hardly used and it's not even touchscreen.

There are mixed reviews about whether the chips are TLC or QLC for Costco & non-Costco version:

Still good deal though since we won't notice much difference for PS5 use case.
The more reputable sites say QLC. The controller they list is a QLC controller

you can also add a bag of liquid IV for 28 bucks instead of the monitor and it comes out to like 215 or so before tax. OR some protein shakes. for 30. there are 12 pages of items that qualify for the 40 off of 250.

Thanks. for the info. QLC at this price is not worth it in my opinion.

This Costco version is actually a QLC variant fyi
That is unfortunate. I can't stand it when manufacturers do that. A slightly different part number that is a completely different product.

I guess I need to think about how that matters for this use case. The issues with a QLC drive in the PS5:
* Lowered wear lifespan - Probably not a huge deal on the PS5 which should be highly read intensive
  • Writes are horribly slow when the SLC cache is exhausted or not available - This is still an issue on the PS5 although, again, writes will be less common than reads
  • It is DRAM-less which means it relies on HMB. Except the PS5 doesn't support HMB...
I guess I need to decide if I can live with those tradeoffs or if should cancel/return it.

In general, it feels it isn't as good a value for a QLC drive unless you really want the accompanying monitor.


As a side note, is it possible to edit these posts in a different editor to properly apply formatting?

100% QLC The Costco model is SE (Special Edition for retailers) which is QLC the regular version is TLC. Even with that you'd have to write 650+GB continuously before cache exhaustion. This memory is designed specifically for a console where there's much more read than write. For a PC it would be great as a 2nd storage drive.

I know it's not a hard requirement, but isn't gen 5 recommended for PS5?
No , gen 4 is recommended for ps5, above 5000mb/ps, gen 5 came out later. Makes no difference in games

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
