What you get

With a 2TB capacity, you have enough space for several large AAA titles, work projects, plus OS and your main applications – without constantly juggling what to delete. The PCIe NVMe 4.0 interface and speeds of up to 7100/6700MB/s give you fast boot, short loading screens, and a more responsive system, especially with heavier games and software. The 3D NAND QLC memory type is optimized for large capacity at a good price, making it a logical choice for primary storage for games and multimedia. An MTBF of 17,500,000 hours indicates designed long-term reliability, suitable for daily intensive use. And the fact that it is compatible with PlayStation 5 significantly eases the upgrade of the console's internal storage.
