- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 4000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 7300 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 6600 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: M.2 2280

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Speedy and reliable. Works great with PS5.
Fast and works as advertised. I purchased this as an expanded storage for my PlayStation 5 Pro. The preinstalled heatsink is a necessity when used on a PS5. PlayStation 5 read speeds reported at 6,600Mbps. A little less than advertised by likely due to the PS5 hardware interface limitations than the drive itself. This SSD comes with dram so it’s ideal for use with PlayStation. Other lower cost SSDs might not have the dram and relies on HBM (memory from the host machine) for caching, this is fine for PC and possibly for PlayStations in most use cases. Just note that the PlayStation 5 does not support HBM. I have had good experiences with Western Digital drives and this one is no difference. The drives are reliable and is speedy as advertised.
