  So PS website says you should use a SSD with sequential read of 5500mb/s. This is 10% less at 500mb/s. Will I notice a difference, or is this Sony being very safe and cautious?

    People have been using SSDs much worse than this with the PS5, don't worry about it.

  Man I'm stumped I bought this and could only get 3800 max speed for the PS5. Reformatted three times to see if the speed changes and no luck. Probably got a bad draw.

    I just got mine today and installed it and got the same 3823. Wonder if maybe there was a firmware upgrade or something required… if so that becomes a pain, gotta take it back out of the ps5 and put it into a pc and then update it and back in the ps5 :S

      I've been reading the web and haven't seen anything about a firmware update about this model only the gen4 7000s. But yeah basically that's the only way, or buy those nvme enclosures that's gonna cost another 30 bucks lol. Better just use your pc then if you got one. What a pain.

        I couldn't help myself and since it was still new, I thought I would try to update firmware and run some tests to see by putting it in my PC.

        Firmware was already up to date, and Crystal Disk Mark showed the drive with the correct speeds. I put it in my PS5 again and formatted it but still 3800mb/s. I can only assume that maybe the PS5 is not able to test it correctly. Drive still seems fairly fast when transferring data over to it… was a little slower when writing data but I guess as long as PS5 games don't lag/stutter, I can live with it.

        Here are the results and firmware info if you are interested - https://ibb.co/hR624Pg

          @zubzub: Ah thanks for this mate. I was planning to get an enclosure wondering it's just a firmware issue. But thanks for checking. So that confirms it then. Looks like we are stuck with around 3800+/- read. This was never marketed by Aorus to be used for the PS5 anyway as they have the Aorus 7000 for that. Still it works, albeit on lower speeds. The read is somewhat ok, I've tested out Horizon Zero Dawn and it still running fine.

          Unfortunate, but yup I can live with it.

            @sethr0: No worries. I'd say from what I have read about disk speed, if you can run a game like HZD without issue, it should be fine. May possibly have issues with games at the end of the PS5 life cycle as they go to PS6, but should still be ok for another 2-3 years I think. Cheers!
