Should I bother with PCIe 5 SSDs?
Unless you're trying to run your company's database from your lapto;.... Don't worry about it. A PCIe 4.0 or even 3.0 drive is more than fast enough for most people and most use cases. Do be sure to opt for a drive which does NOT have a heatsink - Those will not fit into virtually any laptop (Framew

Looking for best SSD for PS5
Whichever M.2 SSD: • Meets your budget. • Is a reputable brand. • Meets the recommended spec to be compatible with the PS5. My recommendations: • WD_Black SN850X w/ heatsink • Seagate Firecuda 530 w/ heatsink • SAMSUNG 990 Pro w/ heatsink • Crucial T500 w/ heatsink

Which one should I choose? Please give me advice! Thanks!
I totally agree, something cheap doesn’t mean its good. IT IS CHEAP for a reason! I use Crucial T500 1TB and would recommend it if you’re going for an AM4 rig.

Razer Blade 16 (2023) Which M.2 slot runs cooler?
I’d prioritize the OS drive in the slot that has the more direct thermal path to the chassis, tbh, even if that means testing both with the second drive removed first. When I hit NVMe heat weirdness in a thin laptop, the biggest difference was good contact, not just the drive model, so check that th

Looking for best SSD for PS5
Most PCIe Gen4 NVMe drives that meet Sony's speed, size, and heatsink requirements are compatible. For the best value in the 1-2TB range, the Crucial T500 and WD Black SN850X are among the strongest options. I built a tool that filters PS5-compatible SSDs and ranks them by value: diskhunt.com

M2 ssd
Aynı anakartı kullanıyorum, Crucial T500 1TB (Heatsinksiz) versiyonunu öneririm. Anakarttaki siyah plaka SSD soğutucu görevi gördüğü için soğutucusuz versiyonunu kullanabilirsin. (İşlemci soğutucu'nun altında ve ekran kartı'nın üstünde, dalgalı görünümü var.)

Best SSD to Upgrade
Crucial T500 or any other drive with lower power consumption. Many like the WD Black SN7100m but at the time of purchase was way overpriced (almost double the crucial) and one particular review (techpowerup) showed that the low power mode at idle looked like it wasn't being activated on that drive.

Thunderbolt 4 external NVME
I guess, the Crucial T500 is the better choice for your MacBook Pro M4 setup with the Satechi enclosure. Both drives offer near-identical PCIe 4.0 speeds suitable for Thunderbolt 4/USB4: the 990 Pro hits up to 7,450 MB/s read and 6,900 MB/s write, while the T500 reaches 7,400 MB/s read and 7,000 MB/
