Rank #2 in Best 4TB SSD for PS5: 10 Ranked, and the Speed Numbers That Don't Add Up
Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 4TB PS5 SSD
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 4TB is the runner-up in this guide, at £415.01 with 4.8 out of 5 from 10,543 ratings. It is a PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe drive, which is the generation the PS5's M.2 slot actually runs — the listing says it "exceeds all Sony PS5 M.2 performance requirements" and ticks Sony PlayStation 5 under Compatible Video Game Console Models. Its headline read figure also survives the check that trips up other drives here: the bullets claim up to 7,100MB/sec sequential read, and the spec table's Read Speed field says 7100 Megabytes Per Second. Same number, same unit.
The write figure appears twice as well — up to 6,800MB/sec in the bullets, and 6.800 MB/s under Media Speed, with a comma standing in for the decimal point. Where the listing does slip is the field labelled Data Transfer Rate, which reads 7100 Megabits Per Second. Megabits, not megabytes: an eight-fold gap with the Read Speed field on the same page. Two smaller oddities sit beside it — the drive is listed under Product Features as "Portable" and under Hard Disk Form Factor as "2.5 Centimetres", neither of which describes an M.2 stick. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing by us.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought the 2TB for £135 back in 2023 for my PS5. Still to this day it has been fantastic! Not had any issues and works perfectly. I only have 300 GB Left but its still held so many games.”
Verified purchase“I picked up the Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 2TB M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for £125.99 in 2024, and it has been absolutely flawless from day one.Installation in my original PS5 base model was quick and painless — it fit perfectly, the built-in low-profile heatsink meant no messing around with third-party cooling solutions, and the console recognised it instantly. After formatting, the reported read speeds were right in line with expectations, and in real-world use it's been lightning fast. Games load incredibly quickly, large titles transfer in no time, and I've had zero crashes or compatibility issues.This year I upgraded to the PS5 Pro, and I'm happy to say it's running just as brilliantly in the new console. No hiccups, no reformatting drama — just seamless performance. The drive keeps up effortlessly, whether I'm jumping between massive AAA titles or installing chunky updates.For £125.99, getting 2TB of fast, reliable Gen4 storage from Corsair feels like an absolute bargain. If you're expanding your PS5 or PS5 Pro storage, I honestly wouldn't hesitate — this SSD just works, and it works beautifully.Highly recommended.”
