Multiple lists put the 990 Pro as compatible with the PS5, so it didn't seem worth paying an extra 30 bucks just to get an SSD that has a "PS5 certified" sticker on it.
On the link it seems not mentioned, just for further's looks, imho the Sabrent Rocket may be fine, too (checking compatibilities, etc...), link on Amazon's

Ps: sorry for this OT, but this was a beaty:
Code:
Once upon a midnight dreary, as I typed another query

Seeking many a quaint and curious fact of hidden Drive Stats lore—

While I waited, time advancing, suddenly the stats came dancing

Lines of empty datasets; the database had nothing more

“Is that right?” I muttered, “The database had nothing more—

So those drives, I must explore.”

Ah, distinctly I remember, it was just past this September

I requested failure rates of Seagate drives with terabytes of four

Eagerly I typed the query, even though my eyes were bleary

The count of Seagate fours was eerie, eerie; there was nothing more.

The sad and certain count screamed like it never had before;

No Seagate drives with terabytes of four.

Presently I checked the tables, the data must be full of fables;

There are missing rows, I’m certain, and files waiting to explore.

The reality I kept dismissing, the Seagate data must be missing

With hours gone to data fishing, the facts shook me to the core;

The spinning life is over for our Seagate drives with terabytes of four—

Those Seagate drives are nevermore.

(My apologies to Edgar Allen Poe.)

(They have nice benchmarks, but for HDD only, if I recall it correctly)
