Found this when looking at the WD SN570 deal. Looks like an all time low for this SSD based on the OzBargain history.

Gen 4x4 NVMe PCIe performance
Up to 3,500MB/s read, 2,100MB/s write
M.2 2280 form factor
Perfect for thin laptops and small-form-factor PCs
Easy to fit and replace

It's not officially supported by the PS5 but it still works in it, so perfect for that if you need one.

        If it was a fast gen 4 drive it wouldn't work at full speed in a gen 3 socket. But its a gen 4 drive that only works at gen 3 speeds, so there's no reason it won't work at its full speed in a PC with a gen 3 socket.

        • hamwhisperer on 29/01/2023 - 07:25

          The original spec demanded 7000mb second or some crazy figure?

          • KaTst3R on 29/01/2023 - 11:11

            @hamwhisperer: 5500mb/s read is the recommended speed but no game at this stage is optimised to use the full speed. It has been tested by youtubers any Gen 4 SSD works. It should be good for now.

    • Savvy shopper1111 on 28/01/2023 - 23:49

      PS5 needs 5500mbps read speed for optimal game loading. The one posted might "work" but its like putting e10 in a ferrari haha.

      Though if you cant afford proper ps5 internal storage and dont want external ssd options then this is fine for ps4 game library.

      Save up for one with at least 5500mbps read speed

        I don't get why gaymers like using ferrari's as examples. The nominal value of a ferrari compared to a pc part is tremendously different. One week of wages vs one year of your life is totally different.

        Wrong, digital foundry did a test using the slowest pcie4 drive wd 750se 3200-3500mbs vs the fastest drives and there was literally 0 difference in terms of loading and playing ps5 titles

        The only difference is slower copying/write data from internal ssd to nvme

          That doesn't change the desired specs which Sony listed.

          Why all the negs, literally 5500 is the Playstation recommendation. Games will get more intensive with their file sizes throughout this generation so if 550 isn't required right now it will be soon. You might get away with a lesser speed card for basic games but seems like a waste of money long term to cheap out in the short term

      • hamwhisperer on 29/01/2023 - 07:27
        -3

        Not sure why down vote, some of us actually read the articles when they added the feature.

        Even the fastest gen 4 is slower than the storage built in and they need the external to match it as close as possible

      • BusMan247 on 29/01/2023 - 08:04

        You don’t understand the practice, only the marketing.
        I have the firecuda 530, but I even know there was no reason for buying it.
        Most games don’t even command anywhere near that speed. Be aware I’ve been playing the games I play on PS3 PS4 and now PS5 all with their incremental graphical improvements. I don’t need ten times the memory speed other than for loading. The pop in and environmental load is dealt with, with much less power.

  • Larsson on 29/01/2023 - 00:00

    Wow, didn’t intend to get an ssd today, but here we are with an order placed lol.

    Thanks anyway.

    Also are these well above SATA speeds or barely beating data drives?

    • tribal on 29/01/2023 - 00:32
      +1

      SATA caps out at around 600MB/s iirc so it's 3x performance which helps throughout. Less of an issue for gaming and day to day tasks, but for lots of data transfer throughput they certainly come in handy

      • Larsson on 29/01/2023 - 00:43
        +1

        Yeah I get these generally to store large files like media which generally is a sequential read/write task I think?

        Main reason speed matters for me is though for photo archive back up. I think it’s more random read/write speed and absolutely buggers all drives. Completely saturates even TB3 interfaces…

  • OzBargainerMel on 29/01/2023 - 00:03

    "Kingston NV2 SSD Review: Cheap But Risky
    A generic budget SSD with irregular hardware"

      It is a bit tricky. Tom's hardware did receive a TLC version of 1TB NV2, but elected to review the 2TB QLC version (which is good).

      QLC versions of NV2 1TB do exist. Then, there is controller lottery. I have both 1TB Phison E21 TLC version and 1TB SMI SM2267XT TLC version. The one I received from Amazon US was SMI SM2267XT version. While overall, E21 version is probably better, I did find my E21 version (obtained from a local retailer) isn't as good as the one reviewed by TechPowerUp.

      Tom's Hardware is a bit harsh on NV2 QLC version though. It is understandable because early versions being reviewed are TLC so this swap is really dodgy. However, at this price, it is still the cheapest PCIe gen 4 x4 SSD (even though it performs like PCIe gen 3). Its QLC NAND speed is better than Crucial (for the moment, it uses Intel newer gen QLC NAND, and Intel has sold its SSD division to Hynix). 3 years warranty is also subpar.

      There is a gamble and the later to get NV2, the higher chance you get QLC.

        • gromit on 29/01/2023 - 10:41

          why would you look like a chump? No game comes close to using the speed yet and it is unlikely you will see any that will with the desire to make games cross platform. If you do find that unicorn game that requires it then you can consider an upgrade later. This falls squarely into the future proofing myth where you are paying a premium just in case something one day before your device is obsolete needs it.

      You need to read Tom's Hardware's description carefully. P3 Plus is QLC. Also, if you don't have PCIe gen 4, you won't be able to take advantage of Phison E21. P3's QLC performance is quite ordinary.

      P3 Plus Sustained Write

      Note: This is the 2TB version, so for 1TB version, you need to cut the SLC cache is half. Also, x axis is time. So, you need to realise:

      • 1TB's SLC cache is about 275GB, once that's depleted, the write speed is 100MB/s.
      • 1TB version is unable to reach 4,200 MBps even with PCIe gen 4. 3,600 MBps write is SLC's max (it's just the way QLC works, especially with 4 channels setup (instead of 8)).
    • Bii on 30/01/2023 - 01:51

      The P5 Plus is currently at $133 (buy 2 save %5) which is a good deal. I bought mine for $144 ($136 with gift card) 2 weeks ago and just arrived today.
