Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought to upgrade my ps4. Windows 10 boots at lightning speed, which is what i was looking for. Used this to upgrade the nvme drive in a 2017 5k imac (with adapter) consistently getting 3000mbs r/w with this thing.

I cannot tell a difference between this one and the internal drive that came in the ps5.
Competitiveness
Marginally faster than the default ps5 internal ssd.
I have been looking for a 4tb drive for my ps5 for a while now but did not want to spend $1000 (cdn).

And of course, you need a amd cpu to take advantage of the 4.

Great nvme just soooo expensive for what it is

Be careful though there are 2 controllers more recently and one restricts the write speeds to 2500 mbs which is a far cry from 4200 mbs sequential that this drive provides
