SSDs guide

How to choose ssds

Solid state drives store the operating system, games, and creative project files in flash memory and read from them in microseconds. NVMe SSDs connect directly to the CPU via PCIe and lead the consumer market. PCIe 5.0 doubles peak throughput over PCIe 4.0 in supported flagship drives.

Form factor and interface

M.2 2280 is the standard form factor for desktop and laptop SSDs. NVMe is the protocol over PCIe. PCIe 4.0 x4 supports peak sequential reads near 7000 megabytes per second. PCIe 5.0 x4 supports peak sequential reads near 14000 megabytes per second on the Samsung 9100 Pro and the WD Black SN8100.

NAND and DRAM cache

TLC NAND stores three bits per cell. QLC NAND stores four bits per cell at lower cost and lower endurance. DRAM cache speeds up small random reads and writes. DRAM-less SSDs use the host computer memory through Host Memory Buffer at slightly reduced random performance.

Endurance and warranty

Total Bytes Written measures how much data the drive can absorb over its life. The Samsung 990 Pro 2TB rates 1200 TBW. Most NVMe SSDs ship with a five-year warranty. Workstation drives carry higher endurance ratings than consumer drives.

PS5 compatibility

The Sony PlayStation 5 accepts M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs of 250 GB to 8 TB. Sony recommends drives with sequential reads of 5500 megabytes per second or higher. The drive must fit a 110 mm length and benefits from a heatsink for sustained workloads.
