High end micron 176L TLC + Phison E18 + Heatsink, cheapest 2tb Phison E18 yet? Thanks for listening to my ted talk
CamelCamelCamel.
2x the speed also comptaible with PS5, possibly will matter more once direct storage becomes a thing? However high end Gen 3 drives are around this price anyways.
Found the answer.

Though pitting it against the WD SN570 is a bit poor. Better compare something like the EVO 970 Plus.
So with heat sink ps5 all good? Decent deal on them for ps5?
Reliability? Obviously heard the brand but not one of the few big brands.
Yup, amazing for the ps5
Do the heatsinks come off these easily if i'm planning to use the motherboard one?
4 screws and sticky silicon pads on each side
This is a good deal for PS5 users but would not recommend for PC
XS70 is basically an overclocked KC3000 with heat management issues
Wait for the 2TB KC3000 or SN850X deal
Thank you. I'll wait then :)
Unless you really have to, SSD with heatsink done by the SSD maker is generally a better setup than the one provided by motherboard. For most people, I guess the cosmetic side might be more important since how many of us can actually run a PCIe gen 4 x4 SSD in a situation where it throttles a lot.
Not sure what motherboard makers will do in the future, but most, if not all, PCIe gen 5 x4 SSDs should come with built in heatsink.
Do you have more info on the overclocking and heat management issues? XS70 doesn't seem to perform that well if it is actually overclocked. The included heatsink is decent enough I thought.
Do most OZBers really need flagship PCIe gen 4 x4 SSDs? KC3000's late SLC recovery seems like a pretty layback way of handling SLC.
Is this on par with the K3000 and 980 Pro in terms of the PS5? Bit worried about the comment above about it being overclocked since my ps5 gets pretty hot
$220 for me after the GST. That said, how much of a difference with anything faster than Gen 3?
