Note that all drives with sequential speeds above 3,500 MB/s require a PCI-Express 4.0 (PCIe Gen4) platform to reach their full potential. The PCIe Gen4 interface is present in consumer platforms based on: Klarna Bank AB (publ) is Authorised by the Swedish Financial Services Authority (Finansinspektionen) and is subject to limited regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority.

If you are looking for 8 TB of fast storage space at a somewhat reasonable price, the Corsair MP600 PRO NH is one of the most interesting new releases. It’s based on the Phison E18 controller and durable TLC NAND, resulting in an outstanding 6,000 TBW endurance rating. List of 4TB M.2 (PCIe/NVMe) SSDs PCI Express-based solid state drives in the M.2 form factor are the first choice as system drives, as they offer much higher performance than their 2.5″ SATA counterparts. However, some of the most popular high-end drives such as the Samsung 980 PRO and 990 PRO are currently not available in 4 TB capacities. It is also highly competitive in terms of pricing and the 4TB model offers a solid endurance rating of 2,960 TBW . Additionally, it ships with a heatsink suitable for the PS5.The 8TB Mushkin Gamma is yet another high-end Gen4 M.2 SSD powered by the Phison E18 controller but is specified as being slightly slower than the Corsair models (likely due to previous-gen NAND). It still gets quite close to the bandwidth limits of the PCIe 4.0 interface with a sequential performance of 7,000 MB/s (read) and 5,900 MB/s (write). Random performance is 700K/1M IOPS (read/write). At the affordable end of the spectrum – but still using the fast PCIe 4.0 interface – we find SSDs like the Crucial P3 Plus. This drive uses cheaper QLC NAND of the modern 176-layer variety but still offers an attractive mix of performance and value. Although its endurance rating is lower compared to the high-end alternatives, the P3 Plus ships with an industry-standard 5-year warranty, which is not always the case in the entry-level space.

If you just want lots of really fast storage to go, you actually have quite a few options. Unlike hard drives, solid state drives are not limited by the size of spinning platters, only by how the manufacturers decide to arrange the memory chips and layout of the PCB. Therefore they may vary greatly in size and shape. Kingston FURY™ Renegade PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD provides cutting-edge performance in high capacities for gaming and hardware enthusiasts seeking extreme performance for PC builds and upgrades. By leveraging the latest Gen 4x4 NVMe controller and 3D TLC NAND, Kingston FURY Renegade SSD offers blazing speeds of up to 7,300/7,000MB/s 1 read/write and up to 1,000,000 IOPS 1 for amazing consistency and exceptional gaming experience. From game and application loading times to streaming and capturing, give your system a boost in overall responsiveness.Many of the 4TB or larger alternatives are technically entry-level M.2 SSDs and frequently use more inexpensive parts, such as budget controllers and QLC NAND. Here is an extended list of current 4TB M.2 PCIe SSDs at the time of writing. It is roughly sorted by random IOPS throughput, which tends to be the more accurate indicator of real-world performance. Some highlights from the list (other than those mentioned above): 1. High-End 4TB M.2/NVMe SSD: Kingston KC3000 If you have invested in a PCI-Express 5.0-capable system (based on e.g. AMD B650/X670 or select Intel Z790 boards), the best-performing 4TB SSD is currently the Crucial T700. With sequential throughput of up to 12,400 MB/s, this drive is a leader among the still relatively few SSDs that utilize the Gen5 interface. For the same reason, it is also the fastest M.2 SSD overall. Nevertheless, the cost of Flash memory has been dropping for some time. And thanks to the arrival of cheaper chips in the form of high-density TLC (triple-level cell) and QLC (quad-level cell) NAND, it is now easier than before to justify investing in large solid state drives.

When shopping for external storage, it’s also worth comparing the cost of a DIY alternative. Buying an affordable 4TB M.2 SSD and installing it in an M.2 PCIe/NVMe enclosure will often result in decent savings compared to branded external SSDs.

With better heat management comes better stability during peak performance. The slim M.2 combined with a low profile, graphene aluminium heat spreader is optimised for intense usage in gaming laptops and desktops. The optional heatsink model delivers an additional layer of thermal dispersion so when the game heats up, your PS5™ console stays cool. Kingston FURY Renegade SSD matches the top-tier performance of the Kingston FURY Renegade memory line to produce the ultimate team that will keep you at the top of your game. Like the 870 QVO, the QX is based on QLC NAND and should offer about the same performance. They are also priced about the same, though the Teamgroup QX comes with an inferior endurance rating at 2,000 TBW versus the QVO’s 2,880 TBW. Other 8TB M.2 NVMe/PCIe Models 1. Corsair MP600 Pro XT At the time of writing, there is only one non-enterprise competitor to the 8TB Samsung 870 QVO and the Teamgroup QX is it. In fact, this drive is also available in an even more capacious (and expensive) 15.3TB variety. There are of course additional high-capacity alternatives on the external SSD market. Some of the most popular include: As mentioned, the list of 8TB consumer SSDs is not particularly long at this point in time, and availability is often limited. One SATA Alternative: Teamgroup QX
