Corsair 2TB SSD PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280
The PS5021-E21T controller and TLC NAND deliver 7000 MB/s reads and 6500 MB/s writes, meeting all PS5 M.2 requirements with a low-profile aluminum heatsink to prevent throttling. The DRAM-less design keeps costs down while hardware encryption and a 1200 TBW endurance rating add long-term value. Best for PS5 owners who want to expand storage for large game libraries without paying a premium for a heatsink-equipped Gen4 drive.
