PlayStation 5 gamers thinking of upgrading their internal storage, may be interested in the new range of NEM-PA Series M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSDs unveiled by Nextorage this week. The PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 (“PCIe 4.0”) M.2 2280 NVMe SSD “NEM-PA series” will be available throughout the United States later this month and are equipped with a PCIe 4.0 / NVMe 1.4 controller and a 3D TLC NAND and heat sink.
Supporting the PlayStation 5 games console the SSD drives can provide sequential read up to 7,300 MB/s, sequential write up to 6,900 MB/s, and random read/write up to 1,000 K IOPS when installed in a PC. Compatibility was tested in PS5 (version: 21.02-04.00.00). Although it is worth remembering that “This is not a product developed under the license program of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. Compatibility and performance are not guaranteed for all game titles.”
“The combination of an 8ch controller and a 1200 MT/s 3D TLC NAND fully utilizes the PCIe 4.0 data bandwidth (about 8GB/s), achieving both top-class sequential speeds and random access performances for fast transferring and smooth operation of heavy workloads . High performance and stability lasts thanks to the optimized heat dissipation design ― NEM-PA series comes with an aluminum heatsink* coated with a highly thermally radioactive black alumite, which suppresses thermal throttling (speed limit activation to prevent thermal runaway.)”
