- Is the Predator GM7 good for a PS5?
- Yes. It is a single-sided M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 drive, which meets Sony's requirements, and its speed is well above the console's minimum. You do not need a heatsink for the PS5 slot.
- Does it have DRAM?
- No. The GM7 is DRAM-less and uses host memory buffer instead. That keeps it cool and cheap but can slow sustained writes compared with drives that have onboard DRAM.
- Will it fit a thin laptop?
- Yes. It is 2.2 mm thick and single-sided, so it fits most M.2 2280 slots, including slim laptops where double-sided drives do not.
- How does it compare with the Samsung 990 Pro?
- The GM7 matches or nears the 990 Pro on rated sequential speeds but trails it on sustained writes and software support. The 990 Pro is the safer pick for heavy workstation use.
- Does it come with a heatsink?
- No. It ships as a bare drive. Most desktop boards and the PS5 provide their own cooling, but check your slot before heavy sustained use.
- Is 4TB enough for games and media?
- For most people, yes. It holds a large game library or a big photo and video archive in one drive, which saves swapping drives later.
