Pros & Cons
Pros
This is an exceptionally fast nvme drive that at times can outperform the advertised speeds. I personally believe this is the fastest gen4 nvme ssd i have personally used. I am sure it should be more than fast enough for the foreseeable future.
Highlights
Quality
I bought a heatsink from sabrent and slapped it into my ps5, no issues whatsoever and games load fast!
Immediately recognized by the raid, no issue at all
Every time i have tried to move lots of data to the external drive, it overheats and fails.
If the transfure requires sustained writes for more than 5-10 minutes, the transfer will fail.
Price
I purchased this 8tb drive on cyber monday for 40% off ($600) and it was sold through a 3rd party - antonline.
Now ill have to re-purchase at full price and it seems that i'm not the only one they ripped off looking at the other reviews.
I bought these two at the price of 18.
Funny enough if they did mean to list the 4tb version, it was still $100 over the $500 retail value.
Packaging/appearance
Packaging sécurisant, facile à installer, aucun bug par la suite.
I was a little doubtful be cause of the packaging, i would like it to be more robust, but every thing arrived safe and sound.
Competitiveness
They sent me a 4tb hardrive and refused to replace it with the correct model and honor the deal.

Aside from that i did end up putting a basic thin heatsink on this drive as it can get hot easily which can impact its performance but with a heatsink the same heating issues were no longer a problem
