Spec source
Maker's datasheet

Specifications from the maker’s own datasheet. A dash or a missing row means the maker does not publish that figure for this capacity.

Does it fit a PS5?

Yes. It meets Sony's requirements: PCIe Gen4 or faster on four lanes, M.2, and at least 5,500 MB/s. Sony recommends adding a thin heatsink, which the PS5 slot has room for. Every drive that fits.

Quality score

How we score →

Scored for a gaming PC from what the maker publishes: read speed against the level games are built around, capacity (under 1TB loses points), cache type, endurance per terabyte and warranty. Speed above the floor adds almost nothing.

100/ 100 among NVMe SSDsValue 88.6 for the price
High confidence · 100% of specs known

Value weighs the score against the price, compared with other 4TB NVMe SSDs: this drive costs $208.75/TB against a typical $163.98/TB. At a typical price, value equals the score. Cheaper raises it and dearer lowers it, but price counts for less than quality.

A factor we hold no value for scores zero rather than being skipped, so a drive we know little about never outranks a fully documented one. A low score with low confidence means undocumented, not bad. This is a specification index, not a benchmark, and it only compares NVMe SSDs with each other.
