sorted byFrom the Amazon description its M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 so the physical connection to the motherboard is M.2/ using pcie lanes / and the card size size is 22mm wide x 80mm long
PCIe 4 is backward compatable with older motherboards that only support PCIe3 but you will only get PCIe3 speeds
as a result ....and you may save some money by buying a PCIe3 SSD in the 1st place.
Like most people I get confused with this area...maybe have a look here
Crucial Explanation
(The heatsink version of this is £50 extra)
amazon.co.uk/dp/…h=1
After a few searches it appears you can use an M.2 SSD with PS5 without a heatsink, but it's not recommended by Sony. Basically as the console heats up the performance of the drive will be affected and the result will be slower read and write times than would be achieved with a heatsink fitted, casual gamers that play short sessions will probably not notice, but hardcore gamers who play long sessions and care about performance will be more likely to notice the issues.
Copied from Playstation.com...
"Using an M.2 SSD with your PS5 console requires effective heat dissipation with a cooling structure, such as a heatsink and a heat transfer sheet. You can attach these to your M.2 SSD yourself, either in a single-sided format or double-sided format (single-sided cooling structures are an easier fit). There are also M.2 SSDs that have cooling structures (such as heatsinks) built in. For information on how to attach the heat dissipation mechanism, check the instructions that come with it".
Planning on building a new PC in Feb and will carry this drive over to that.
For PC's/laptops, cheaper Gen3 SSD's are as good unless you really need those high sequential read/write speeds for large file read/writes.
PCIe Gen4 has no benefit for gaming/everyday use.
I've used a few of the blue Gen 3 version of this drive, worked perfectly and very quick, no issues at all (edited)
Was £77 now £124 😡 (edited)
I have installed it in my second M2 slot which supports PCIe 3. My first slot supports PCIe 4 but currently has a PCIe 3 drive. Is it worth cloning the original drive to the new one to swap them over to make use of the faster speeds?
