I must say prices have fallen a great deal... Don't look at the 4TB version of this drive at $499

Not necessarily the best performant compared to newer stuff but those prices are pretty amazing and you don't need all that much for the PS5 (beware they can be one of those brands that like to switch components around, personally I prefer to buy directly from the nand manufacturers - micron, wd/kioxia, samsung, hynix - even if the price is a bit less competitive)
However, for the past several years, I have stuck to, and had the best luck with the WD Black series, specifically the SN750x & more recently the 850x, which is one of the fastest, most reliable drives on the market ATM, and with the recent rock bottom prices, the best bang for your buckies too :D
