Rank #8 in Best 4TB SSD for PS5: 10 Ranked, and the Speed Numbers That Don't Add Up
fanxiang S660 4TB PS5 SSD with Heatsink
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The fanxiang S660 sits at number 8 in this guide. It is a 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive with a heatsink in the box, listed at £399.99 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 3,715 Amazon ratings, and the bullets name the PlayStation 5 among its compatible consoles.
The number to watch here is the speed. The product name and the first bullet both promise up to 5000MB/s, the Read Speed field in the same advert says 4800 Megabytes Per Second, and the Data Transfer Rate field says 5000 Megabits Per Second — megabits, not megabytes, which is roughly 625MB/s if you convert it. A fourth figure, 4500, appears in the Hard Disk Rotational Speed field, on a drive with no rotating parts; the bullets give 4500 as the write speed instead. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from any test we ran.
How those 3,715 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.
