High-capacity 4TB solid-state drives are going through their attractive discounted run on Amazon, and one model that caught our eye in particular that delivers an incredible ‘price to performance’ ratio is the Silicon Power UD90. While it might not be the fastest 4TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD available, it is speedy enough to be compatible with your PS5 while also being compatible with your PC or laptop. With its standard 2280 size, slotting the 4TB SSD in a vacant M.2 slot will be a piece of cake.
However, ensure that the M.2 slot supports the PCIe NVMe Gen 4 protocol because while the UD90 is compatible with older standards, you cannot experience the full speeds. Speaking of speeds, this 4TB SSD can top out at 5,000MB/s in the sequential reads department while reaching 4,500MB/s in sequential write. The company is also giving the buyer peace of mind through its 5-year limited warranty, but it is still recommended to backup all of your data routinely.
For those wanting to take advantage of the entire PCIe NVMe Gen 4 bandwidth, we have an alternative for you. For just $10 more, you can get the Silicon Power US75 with the same 4TB capacity, bringing the total to $229.99. This solid-state drive’s sequential read speeds can touch 7,000MB/s and 6,500MB/s in sequential write. However, none of these speeds will matter much if there is an inadequate cooler installed on the SSD, so make sure that the heatsink is properly secured to the drive to prevent thermal throttling.
