Although only discounted by 13%, the 4 TB Silicon Power XS70 (model number SP04KGBP44XS7005) NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD is now at the lowest price it had on Amazon. While its current list price is US$329.99, back in early March 2022, this PlayStation 5-compatible SSD was available for no less than US$749.99.
Featuring a unique heatsink design that provides excellent heat dissipation and thermal management, the Silicon Power XS70 is a PCIe Gen 4×4 SSD fully compatible with the Sony PlayStation 5 console, but also a good choice for use in PCs. With an all-time high price of US$749.99 on Amazon (according to Camelcamelcamel), the 4 TB model is now down to US$329.99. However, this price is the result of a modest 13% discount, which applies to a list price of US$379.99. Based on the last 39 changes, the average price of this SSD is US$500.08.

This drive also has a freely available software companion, namely SP Toolbox. This piece of code allows the user to run benchmarks, check detailed device information such as used space, temperature, and TBW value, and more.
After 325 validated user reviews, the Silicon Power XS70 lineup has a 4.5/5 rating on Amazon. This value comes after 77% perfect scores and 12% 4/5 assessments, but also 7% minimum scores.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I’ve been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
