Is this drive fast enough for gaming?

Yes. Its Gen4 read speed cuts load times well below SATA and older Gen3 drives. Frame rates are unaffected; storage only affects loading.

Yes. The single-sided M.2 2280 shape fits the PS5 expansion slot. Sony still requires a heatsink, and this drive's graphene layer is thin, so add a heatsink.

Is it better than a DRAM drive?

For gaming and everyday use, the difference is small. For sustained large writes, such as video editing, a DRAM-cached drive like the Samsung 990 Pro holds speed better.

The drive and a mounting screw. No heatsink, cloning software or cables are included.

Will it work in a Gen3 slot?

Yes, it is backward compatible, but speeds cap at Gen3 limits. You need a Gen4 M.2 slot to reach its rated read speed.

Our take on the KLEVV CRAS C925G M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4x4 SSD

The KLEVV CRAS C925G is a 1 TB M.2 2280 NVMe drive on PCIe Gen4x4, rated up to 7,400 MB/s sequential read. It is a DRAM-less design with a graphene heat spreader, aimed at gamers and builders who want fast Gen4 storage without a flagship price. It trades blows with other budget Gen4 drives like the Crucial P3 Plus and WD Blue SN580 on paper, but sustained writes and heavy workloads favor drives with a DRAM cache. Owners rate it highly for everyday speed and easy setup.
