I have the 1TB WD Black SN850, came with heatsink, read speed came in at a touch over 6500, forgot how much i paid for it.
I picked up a Sabrent with their specific PS5 heatsink, does the trick. 1TB is decent size on PS5 given their Kracken compression on storage.
no that won't work, not because of speed but because it's a gen3 SSD, need gen4 SSD for ps5. For a cheap/budget one, get one of these: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09QV692XY https://www.umart.com.au/product/kingston-1tb-nv2-2280-nvme-ssd-65928 Also Sony's 5.5gb/s read speed is a recommendation, not a requirement. I have the 3.5gb/s Kingston one running fine in my PS5. Just slap on a heatsink and go!
season 5(0) might be the longest combined lap time of all seasons. there are some long tracks this season.
