Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between the ZP2000GP3A1001 and ZP2000GP3A4001? Which is better?(2 answers)
A: AnswerTldr: this one is officially licensed for PS5. I spent a while looking into this, because I wanted to know the same thing. It seems the specs are identical as far as I can tell from Seagate's spec sheets. The NVMe vs M.2 naming is just semantics, they are identical interfaces. The only difference seems to be that this one is "Officially licensed for PS5" whereas the older model is not. My guess is they wanted to compete with Western Digital's officially licensed ssd, and so released this version. 1001 model (officially licensed) https://www.seagate.com/products/gaming-drives/playstation-gaming/game-drive-ps5-nvme-ssd/ 4001 model (PS5 ready) https://www.seagate.com/products/gaming-drives/playstation-gaming/game-drive-m2-ssd-for-ps5/Answered by MatthewB
- A: AnswerMe again (original poster). I decided to remove the heat sink. I had to use a hair dryer to get it off of the SSD. I would not recommend disassembling this. It voids the warranty and these SSDs run very hot without the heat sink. I was lucky that I didn’t damage the SSDs when removing the heat sink. I bought a very slim profile COPPER heat sink that is 1 mm high along with a heatsink adhesive pad. I hope to install it next week. These SSDs are very high quality. I decided to do this but would NOT recommend buying this for a laptop. Desktop or PS5, absolutely. Just don’t buy this for a laptop. I got lucky that it worked out for me.

- A: AnswerWhen you compare the specs between both, the Firecuda has 100mb more Read speed at 7400 vs 7300. So in my eyes it would probably be a little better. Im gonna go with this one as well.

Great external SSD for PS5
Fully compatible with PS5. Before the procedure, more precisely, before touching the SSD, hold something metal (door handle, screwdriver bit, etc.) with your hands to eliminate static electricity from your body so that the SSD and PS5 are not damaged.
