Review on πŸ’Ύ PNY XLR8 CS3040 4TB NVMe Gen4 x4 M.2 Internal SSD - M280CS3040-4TB-RB by Chad Aguirre

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works great on PS5, but get the version without a heatsink!

Suitable for PS5 if you have beta 2.0 system software. FYI your expansion slot is not activated unless you are in beta testing or until the public release is released. The most popular and most expensive brands were sold out. I didn't want them anyway, but I was a little concerned that I might miss important technical requirements if I went for an unofficially approved brand. This PNY met all the specs, so I gave it a try. I'm glad I did because I got a $550 solution for $300. More expensive brands had 7000MB per second, this one is just over 5600 (5500 minimum) and works great. If you're looking for a cheaper option, this is the key. It's installed, working and at the moment I have 1TB of games loaded on my system. Works flawlessly! You need to get your own heatsink. I used MHQJRH for the perfect fit.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Hard to say
