Patriot Viper VP4300 2TB PS5 SSD for $149.99
The Patriot Viper VP4300 is an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 solid state drive with rated transfer speeds of 7,400MB/s read and 6,800MB/s write. That makes it well above the PS5’s recommended 5,600MB/s speed requirement. It also makes the Viper’s performance on par with other high-speed SSDs like the WD SN850 or the Samsung 980 Pro.
The Viper includes two heatsinks: a thicker aluminum one and a thinner graphene one. We recommend using the aluminum heatshield because it offers better cooling, it can be removed if necessary, and most importantly for PS5 gamers, it still fits in the console.
Both the WD SN850X with heatsink and Samsung 980 Pro with heatsink cost $179.99. That’s a great price, nevertheless it’s still $30 more than getting this Patriot Viper right here. Patriot has a good reputation in the enthusiast PC RAM and SSD market, so you won’t go wrong with choosing any of these three brands.
