Highlights
Quality
Full coverage, strong material, and fits great.
Low profile fits nicely and keeps the expansion drive cool in my ps5
I purchased this for my ps5 since the factory provided storage is grossly inadequate.
My 1 tb silicon power nvme was only 50mb off on read and 100mb off on write after a few months of use.

I mean really, really hard earned dollars.
It's expensive, but we'll worth the money if you want the best.

I have other ssds from samsung and silicon power, and this one from pny is the only one pretty far off the advertised speeds.
