HP SSDs are made by Multipointe. They are a channel partner to HP. They have rights to use HP's branding on their SSD.

Saw this on the Newegg email today. Great price. I would probably take this over the other 2 nvme drives floating around on slickdeals right now. The Gammix and SX8200.

You're comparing ps5 to a drive that is almost 2 years old. You need a nvme with pcie 4 or higher since if you want the speed.

Much slower than the PS5. Look at the specs of the new Samsung 980 and the Xbox Series X proprietary storage cards, and then imagine a couple ticks faster.
