SPECIFICATIONS

The SIX M.2 NVMe SSD 512GB PCIe 4.0 is a high-speed internal solid-state drive designed for gaming PCs, PlayStation 5 consoles, laptops, and desktop computers that support the M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 x4 interface. With advertised sequential read speeds up to 5,000 MB/s and an included aluminum heatsink, it offers a substantial performance improvement over SATA SSDs and older PCIe Gen3 drives for everyday computing and gaming.

Key Features

PCIe 4.0 NVMe Performance

• PCIe Gen4 x4 interface
• NVMe protocol for low latency and high throughput
• Advertised sequential read speeds up to 5,000 MB/s
• Sequential write speeds typically vary by capacity and model but are generally lower than read speeds.

Compared with a SATA SSD (around 550 MB/s), this provides dramatically faster:

• Operating system boot times
• Game loading
• Large file transfers
• Application launches

512GB Capacity

A 512GB drive is suitable for:

• Windows or Linux installation
• Productivity software
• 8–15 modern AAA games (depending on title size)
• Thousands of photos
• Hundreds of videos and documents

Users with extensive game libraries or large media collections may prefer 1TB or 2TB capacities.

Aluminum Heatsink

The included heatsink helps:

• Dissipate heat
• Reduce thermal throttling
• Maintain more consistent performance during extended workloads
• Improve cooling inside desktops and PS5 systems (if the dimensions meet Sony's requirements)

PS5 Compatibility

If the drive meets Sony's physical size requirements with the heatsink installed, it can be used as expandable storage in a PlayStation 5.

Keep in mind:

• Sony recommends PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSDs with read speeds of at least 5,500 MB/s for the best PS5 experience.
• Since this drive is advertised at 5,000 MB/s, it falls slightly below that recommendation. It may still function, but users seeking guaranteed performance should choose a model that meets or exceeds Sony's recommended specification.

Compatibility

Compatible with:

• Desktop PCs with an M.2 PCIe slot
• Laptops supporting PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 SSDs
• PlayStation 5 (subject to physical fit and performance expectations)
• Windows
• Linux
• Some Intel Macs that support NVMe upgrades (model dependent)

Not compatible with:

• SATA-only M.2 slots
• Older computers without NVMe support
