Choosing between Lexar's 4TB drives
Start with Lexar's Gen4 drive. The Gen5 one is held to Gen4 speed by the PS5's slot, so it costs more without loading games any faster.
Today 3 of the 8 Lexar 4TB listings have a heatsink fitted. The main 4TB page ranks Lexar against every other maker at this size, which is room for roughly 53 games of 75GB.
