Fikwot FN960 4TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2280

Big, cool, and dependable, but not a speed demon. If you need 4TB for your PS5 and don't want to overthink it, this is your drive.

The FN960 sits at the 74th percentile for speed, which means it's better than most but not a standout. Sequential reads hit 5,000 MB/s and writes 4,500 MB/s, which is plenty for game loads and big file transfers. The dynamic SLC cache helps keep things steady, but this is a DRAM-less drive, so sustained writes can get a little wheezy once the cache fills up. Random performance lands at the 62nd percentile, so it's fine for everyday use but not the drive you'd pick for heavy database work. The heatsink does its job, and temps stayed reasonable in our testing.

Against the Samsung 9100 PRO, the FN960 gets smoked on speed and random performance, but Samsung charges a serious premium for that. The Kingston FURY Renegade is faster and has DRAM, but it's also pricier and often harder to find in 4TB with a heatsink. The Crucial T500 is probably the closest real competitor, offering better performance and similar capacity for a bit more cash. If raw speed matters, skip the Fikwot. If you just want a big, cool, reliable game library, it holds its own.

At around $530 USD, this is not a cheap drive, and the affordability percentile shows it. But you're paying for 4TB with a heatsink and a solid warranty. If you need this much space and don't want to juggle multiple drives, it's a fair deal. If you can live with 2TB, you'll find faster options for less money.

The Fikwot FN960 is a 4TB Gen4 drive that gets the basics right and doesn't pretend to be something it isn't. You're getting a huge chunk of storage with a heatsink included, and it's clearly aimed at PS5 owners who just want to stop deleting games. The headline numbers, 5,000 MB/s read and 4,500 MB/s write, are solid for Gen4 but not close to the top of the charts. What you're really buying here is capacity and convenience, not benchmark glory.

If you're chasing top-tier Gen4 speeds or doing heavy sustained write workloads, this isn't it. Go grab a Samsung 9100 PRO or Kingston FURY Renegade instead. And if you're on a tight budget, the affordability score here is rough, so a 2TB drive from Crucial or WD will treat you better.

The Fikwot FN960 is a solid choice for PS5 owners and anyone who needs 4TB of Gen4 storage without paying flagship prices. It's not the fastest drive in the room, but it's reliable, easy to install, and comes with everything you need. Buy it for the capacity and the warranty, not the benchmark scores.
