The one endurance figure here
No other listing on this shelf states a TBW rating. 600 TBW for 1 TB is a usual figure for a TLC drive of this class, and it gives the three-year warranty something to be measured against.
The price
$168.99 on October 26, 2026: $17.58 more than the Gen 3 Intenso, and less than every other Gen 4 drive here.

The questions that come up before an order
What does 600 TBW mean?
The drive is rated for 600 terabytes written over its warranty: the write volume the maker agrees to stand behind for three years. It is not a prediction of when the drive will fail.
Does it fit a PS5?
The title and the bullets name the PS5. The console needs a heat sink on the drive; this page names graphene cooling without saying whether a heat sink is fitted.
Our score
8.4/ 10
The best value on this shelf by its own page: Gen 4 speeds, 600 TBW and three years written down, at the lowest Gen 4 price on this date.

The buyer this one serves, among network and storage gear
A desktop, laptop or PS5 slot where the lowest Gen 4 price and a written endurance figure both matter.
What this one costs among network and storage gear
A reference exists on these Amazon stores: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. Listed is not the same as in stock — availability changes daily.
Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 50.
The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.
Sources
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for network and storage gear and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
A Gen 4 ×4, NVMe 2.0 drive with 7,400 MB/s read and 6,500 MB/s write, HMB and an SLC cache, and thermal management named — and no endurance or warranty term on its Amazon.com page.
Best for: A desktop or laptop Gen 4 slot where the cloning software and NVMe 2.0 are useful and the warranty can be confirmed separately.

A Gen 4 drive with the highest read figure on this shelf, 7,450 MB/s, a random figure of up to 1,000K IOPS and a thin heat sink — and no endurance rating or warranty term on its Amazon.com page.
Best for: A desktop or laptop Gen 4 slot where the highest read figure on this shelf is wanted and a written warranty is not essential.

The only Gen 3 drive on this shelf and the cheapest at $151.41 on Amazon.com on October 26, 2026: 1 TB in M.2 2280, 2,100 MB/s read and 1,700 MB/s write, and no endurance, warranty or cache figure.
Best for: A machine with a Gen 3 M.2 slot, where a Gen 4 drive would run at Gen 3 speed anyway.
