[edit - fixed my conservative capacity description in post title]

 

Purchased impulsively from Amazon and imaged my simrig onto it immediately but realised I couldn't easily install it in the right NVMe slot available without too much hassle .(Silly air cooling rig and installation - don't ask).

 

Not worth sending back to Amazon for credit so flicking it on here for $130.

 

NOTE: This is QLC Dramless (I think) and sustained write performance can be bad - in some cases it's no better than a SATA SSD apparently. Early reviews of this model were also based on better hardware - Crucial were d*cks and substituted parts after the initial runs of the product.

 

But it's also a brand new 1000GB NVMe SSD for $130 + 5 shipping. (I'll wipe my iracing install before sending in the original packaging)

 

 

Cheers - N

You may want to change the subject line to 1000GB or 1TB, I don't think you'll get much interest for a 100GB drive :-).

My first thought was - Why is someone bothering to sell a 100GB NVMe?

Excuse my ignorance but Would you know if this would work in a PS5?

Thats would be a no, sustained sequential read is likely lower than half the required for ps5. You need a pci-e 4 drive with 5500MB/s read speed.

Ah thank you, I'll keep an eye out.
Plus I might revert back to my initial plan of using an external hard drive as a cheap temporary measure.
