- Do I need a PCIe Gen 5 slot to use it?
- No. It works in Gen 4 and Gen 3 M.2 slots, but it will run at the slower speed of that slot. Full performance needs a Gen 5-capable M.2 slot.
- Does it come with a heatsink?
- The drive is sold as a bare M.2 2280 module. For sustained writes, add a motherboard heatsink or a compatible aftermarket one.
- Is it worth it over a Gen 4 SSD?
- For large file transfers, game installs and future-proofing on a Gen 5 board, yes. For everyday browsing and office work, a Gen 4 drive is usually enough.
- Will it fit a laptop?
- It fits M.2 2280 slots, but check that your laptop supports the drive's length and has room for cooling. Many thin laptops cannot sustain Gen 5 speeds.
- What is the usable capacity?
- It is a 4TB drive, so the formatted capacity is slightly lower after overhead. It holds a large game library or media project set.
- Does it work with a PS5?
- The PS5 uses its own expansion slot and does not support this drive's Gen 5 interface at full speed. Check Sony's compatibility list before buying.
