Model overview based on user reviews
The Apacer AS2280Q4U series offers a range of SSDs with capacities from 512GB to 8TB, providing high peak speeds at a reasonable price. Users appreciate the inclusion of a radiator, which aids in cooling, although some have noted noticeable heating during use. The SSDs are equipped with different internal configurations, such as the Phison 5027-e27 controller, but lack a DRAM buffer, which might affect performance in certain scenarios. Despite this, the SSDs perform well in speed tests, making them suitable for applications like gaming and virtual machines. However, finding detailed information about the chip model and memory modules can be challenging. Overall, the Apacer AS2280Q4U series is a decent choice for those seeking fast and affordable storage solutions.
Pros
Cons
Very fast SSD. Just installed it, but it passed the tests well. I will use it for games and virtual machines. Speed, configuration Difficult to find information about the chip model and memory modules  Petro: use Apacer AP2TBAS2280Q4U-1 less than month |
When I bought the PS5, I almost immediately faced the fact that it disastrously lacks space for games (~ 620 GB), which amounts to 3-4 AAA titles. So, I started looking for expansion solutions and was surprised to find that it's done very easily and without any special skills: take off the panel, one screw, and that's it. I spent a long time choosing models, watching reviews, and debating whether I needed a heatsink or if I should save money and get one without it. But the knowledgeable gurus on the forums specifically recommended this model + it comes from the factory with a heatsink and is adapted for the PS5. Taking the SSD out of the bright branded box, I noticed that it is very solidly built and quite heavy - the heatsink is clearly not just for looks. It fit perfectly into the PS5; once I turned it on, it was immediately formatted and passed the write and read speed test - everything was as advertised, with no surprises. I loaded the same game that was initially on the native SSD onto this one and compared the launch speed - there's absolutely no difference. As for heating - after an hour of use, it remained as cool as before. I've been using it for a few months - I have no complaints and can recommend it to everyone. Well, now it's probably just the price. Aleksandr Ch: use Apacer AP2TBAS2280Q4U-1 few months |
These disks may have different filling. I got a Phison 5027-e27 without a DRAM buffer. On 1TB there are 2 memory chips of 512GB T27HGA5A1V. They are arranged on one side, the disk is thin. High peak speed for a reasonable price. Radiator included. Noticeable heating. No DRAM buffer.  vlursu: use Apacer AP1TBAS2280Q4U-1 less than month |
