Pros & Cons
Pros
Good purchase, could be falsely advertised read speed. Not the fastest but who cares if its the fastest -- does it work is the only question here. Phison controller is better than my sabrent rocket controller.
As of today the 3rd of september 2023 (ordered yesterday), i'm happy to report the 4tb drives, at least those shipping from amazon, are still using the phison e18 controller and micron tlc nand. Either way best ssd for the price storage ratio for ps5.... Read More
Cons
This is explicitly stated its compatible for. Pretty disappointing and no where near the claimed speeds. Max i get is less than 1/2 of that (crystal diskmark) the ps5 needs at least 5500.
Trying to do something with this drive has been a bit of a nightmare. Both sides were stuck like adhesive, and no feasible surface to pry it off. This comes with it's installed heat sink which is nearly impossible to remove if it needs to be installed... Read More

Mine says 6049 when i installed it but people should also know the r/w speeds in a ps5 is capped at 6100.
Shipping
The speeds are as fast as advertised and games load crazy quick.
Gt7 also loads just as fast as the stock ssd.
Packaging/appearance
It works, it's cheap, it has a heatsink for use in the ps5.
In the second image you can see the new storage in the ps5.
2 didn't have much point and also that mobo (x99 m-ws) was designed to shared bandwidth with .
I did add the aiqaede ps5 thermal dust cover to allow some heat to escape, and installed the kiwihome cooling fan - both of whi... Read More
Competitiveness
Simple to install and use in a ps5.
As well the phison controller is better than my sabrent rocket controller and that sucker has been going strong for years now @... Read More
I will not use this drive in a ps5.
Worked well otherwise, readily formatted making a 4tb drive.
