Best forGaming and general high-performance PCIe 4.0 storage
The 2TB SN850X and Samsung 990 Pro are close enough in purpose that price and cooling requirements deserve more attention than peak transfer rates. Check whether you are buying the bare drive or heatsink version. A PS5 installation needs suitable cooling, and results for other capacities do not automatically describe this 2TB model.
