[Amazon.ca] ADATA Legend 840 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe 1TB @ $129.99 (13% off)

This ssd seems quite good to me. PCIe Gen4 x4. TLC. Max sequential read and write: 5000/4500 MB/s. With a thin heatsink included. Dramless though.

Since it's the same price as Sabrent rocket on Amazon right now, I think it might be a better choice for both gaming and working. Would be happy if you guys can share any opinions.

Specs is right at ps5 min requirement. What is the actual read speed on ps5? I know slow gen 4 drives works but they might cause issues once dev really start push the ps5.

Would the gen3 Samsung 980 be better?

Not worried about gen3 vs gen4, wondering what would be the more long term reliable drive as I am not sure what a "low end InnoGrit controller" means

Go with Sabrent rocket 1tb. It has the highest endurance rating of 1665 tbw. I’m using it right now and very happy with it. It runs cooler than Samsung. Average temperature is 28 degrees with 3rd party heatsink

gen3 is 75% price of a gen4

Samsung 970 WD Blue would do the job

The WD Black SN770 1TB PCIe Gen4 is currently sold for $144.99. For $15 more than the deal OP posted, you get a much better brand and slightly faster drive too.

https://www.canadacomputers.com/product ... bo5nn8leb4

Keep in mind that both the WD SN7700 and ADATA Legend 840 drives are under the recommended ps5 recommendations, but both drives will work perfectly fine in a PS5 as well.

PS5 SSD options will require:

PCIe Gen4 interface
250GB - 4TB capacity
5,500MB/s read speed or faster
22mm width (do not go for 25mm units)
Heatsink required (built-in or DIY)

Many folks online have been complaining about the reliability and long-term use of Sabrent drives, and Samsung and WD seem to be way more reliable in that department.

Thanks for the advice. I was wondering what specs I should focus on when choosing ssd. I’ve been doing much research these days but those too many brands and series still confuse me

Would this be a good option to pair with an enclosure and use to back up a couple of devices?

i'm wondering the same thing myself. but will this be bottlenecked by USB though? would i be better off just waiting for something like the kingston a2000 to drop under $100 again?

meh, if you care about that kind of data loss, you'd have a UPS.
The SK Hynix Gold and Sabrent Rocket lost data from the power outage after the DRAM data was "flushed," meaning the data didn't complete its final trip to the NAND. That isn't entirely unexpected given that none of these consumer-class drives have power capacitors for full power-loss protection functionality, but it does indicate that some drives may have better emergency data flushing systems even without a full-fledged power loss protection feature.
