PNY - XLR8 CS3040 4TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe with Heatsink
- 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: 5600 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 3900 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Interface(s): PCIe Gen 4 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Does this work as an internal storage for the PlayStation 5?
A: I'm wondering the same thing. I think the metal plate on the ps5 might not fit back on, due to the thickness of the heatsink. I'm trying to find out for certain. It probably is too thick. Someone needs to create a 3rd party ssd cover that's for sure. Or you could just create a custom case for the ps5 and void your warranty. I think console manufacturers should move to custom building options. And stick with services and branding. They would be better off financially. Then again they'd be opening themselves up to the freedom of pc gaming. And they would have less control over decisions. The community would drive the corporations options. Turning the tables on themselves so to speak. I would suggest trying it out and if it doesn't work, you'll have the option to return it by Jan 6 of 2022. Only if you can afford it. I also wouldn't want to risk damaging your ps5.
