| Summary | Its controller and flash changed between batches under the same name, so later drives can be slower. | Comes with a thick, glued-on heatsink that may not fit some motherboards or may block a nearby slot. | Same controller as the GAMMIX S70, but its thin, separate heatsink fits the PS5 and laptops. | Draws less power than earlier PCIe 5.0 drives, so its thin included heatsink may be enough; it fits the PS5. |
