PS5 SSD Drives - Enquiries - 09-06-2022
Hello,
I just bought a PS5 and am wanting to expand my storage space. I'd love a 4TB, BUT, can't justify spending the cost of a SSD that's the same or more than the PS5 itself. haha.
I was debating between the FireCuda530 and the WD Black SN850X, 2TB's.... And it seems like your article I read said that the FireCuda 530 was BETTER than the SN850X... Correct? (both are same price at Amazon right now)
BUT, I just saw this on Amazon, and some people are saying it's even better than the FireCuda?
ITs: "SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 M.2 2280 Internal SSD"
Would that be the better choice over the FireCuda 530? IT's $10 more than the FireCuda.
Thoughts on what's best?
Thanks!

Honestly, all Gen4 NVMe will have a similar speed. You will barely notice a difference in a gameplay.
The main difference is SSD endurance.
Here are few stats
970 pro – 0.66DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 510 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 520 -0.9 DWPD
Seagate IronWolf 525 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate Firecuda 530 – 0.7 DWPD
Synology SNV3400 – 0.68DWPD
WD Red SN700 – 1.0DWPD
I hope this helps.
