For such a large drive, you probably want good sustained speeds.

exactly, and due to its QLC memory This is not the case here. Once the cache is full you have speeds of around 70mb/s!!!! That is slower than even a HDD. IT is okay for games but not if you need to copy over larger files.

Technically, what matters most isn't the drive speed but the access times. That is why HDDs feel so slow, their access time is terrible.

This is the 3rd generation drive. It will not be supported by the ps5. Ps5 only support gen 4 that's the reason the price has gone down.
