- Is the VP4300 Lite fast enough for gaming?
- Yes. Its Gen4 read speeds load games quickly and are close to premium drives in practice. The gap shows mainly in long sustained writes, not gameplay.
- Does it fit a PS5?
- It is a standard M.2 2280 drive, so it fits the PS5 slot. You need to add your own heatsink, since none is included.
- Does it have DRAM cache?
- No, it is a DRAM-less design that uses host memory buffering. That is fine for everyday use but slows sustained large writes.
- What is the endurance rating?
- 800 TBW for the 1TB model, which is high for this class and suits years of normal use.
- Is it compatible with PCIe 3.0 systems?
- Yes, it works in a PCIe 3.0 slot but runs at Gen3 speeds. You only get full speed on a Gen4 M.2 slot.
- What comes in the box?
- The drive itself, with no heatsink or mounting screws. Check whether your motherboard or laptop already has the screw and standoff.
