The Patriot VIPER PV593 is a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe SSD with 2GB of DRAM cache, rated for sequential reads up to 14,000 MB/s and writes up to 12,000 MB/s; it suits high-performance desktop builds with a compatible PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot.
Recommended For
- Desktop creators and workstation users who regularly move large video, image, or project files and have a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot; testing found very high sequential throughput and strong transfer performance.
- PC builders upgrading to PCIe 5.0 who want a fast M.2 2280 drive for a high-end desktop or workstation, and can use their motherboard’s M.2 cooling; reviewers found the PV593 relatively manageable to cool for a Gen5 SSD.
- Enthusiast gamers building a PCIe 5.0 desktop who want a high-speed 2TB game library drive and value top-end sequential performance; the Gen5 advantage is less compelling if gaming is their only workload.
- Users who want a high-performance SSD but prefer a comparatively efficient Gen5 design: reviewers noted the SM2508-based PV593’s manageable thermals, including a 2TB test that saw little thermal throttling.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When building a high-end desktop, use the PV593 as the Windows, application, and active-project drive; it provides a fast PCIe 5.0 storage base, though everyday responsiveness also depends on the rest of the system.
- For a PC game library, install frequently played games on the PV593 to keep launches and level loads responsive; compared with an already-fast PCIe NVMe drive, the Gen5 link may make little noticeable difference in many games.
- When moving large video, photo, or project files between fast drives, use the PV593 as a high-speed working or destination drive; transfers can benefit from its sequential throughput, while actual speeds depend on the source drive, file sizes, and transfer workload.
- In a supported DirectStorage game, the PV593 can serve as fast storage for game assets, but the experience depends on the game and system; current testing does not show a consistent, large Gen5 advantage over other PCIe NVMe drives.

Reference Q&A
Q: Patriot PV593 2TB or Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB—which should I choose?
A: Choose the PV593 if its listed speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s read and 12,000 MB/s write meet your needs and it is priced attractively. Choose the Samsung 9100 Pro if you prefer a drive with independent review testing and Samsung’s SSD software; its 2TB model is rated up to 14,700/13,400 MB/s read/write. The PV593’s listed figures are specifications, not results from a direct head-to-head test.
Q: Is the PV593 2TB faster than the Crucial T705 2TB?
A: The T705 has slightly higher published peak sequential speeds: up to 14,500 MB/s read and 12,700 MB/s write, versus the PV593’s listed 14,000/12,000 MB/s. Those specifications do not establish which drive is faster across real workloads, and no direct PV593-versus-T705 test is cited here. Choose the T705 if its higher stated peak is your priority; the PV593 is a suitable alternative if its listed performance meets your workload.
Q: Should I get the PV593 or a PCIe 4.0 SSD like the Samsung 990 Pro for gaming?
A: For a gaming-focused PC, a PCIe 4.0 SSD such as the 990 Pro can be the more practical choice if it costs less; game-loading tests show that moving to a faster PCIe generation does not necessarily produce a similarly large reduction in load times. Choose the PV593 when you also expect to move large files or run workloads that can use its higher sequential-transfer bandwidth. The PV593 itself was not directly tested against the 990 Pro in the sources cited here.
Q: Does this SSD come with a heatsink, or do I need to add one?
A: It does not include a heatsink. Use a compatible motherboard M.2 heatsink if available; otherwise consider adding one, particularly for sustained heavy workloads. Check that any heatsink fits your system.
Q: Will this SSD work with my motherboard?
A: It is an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. Confirm that your motherboard has a compatible M.2 NVMe slot and enough physical clearance. The listed speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s read and 12,000 MB/s write require a compatible PCIe 5.0 x4 connection.
Q: Can I install this SSD in a laptop?
A: Possibly, if the laptop has an available M.2 2280 NVMe slot and supports the drive’s interface. Check the laptop’s service documentation for slot compatibility, physical clearance, and cooling before buying; laptop support and achievable speeds vary by system.
Q: Is this SSD a suitable PS5 storage upgrade?
A: Do not assume it is a supported PS5 upgrade. This drive is PCIe 5.0 x4 and has no built-in heatsink; check the console’s current M.2 requirements and add a compatible cooling solution if needed before purchasing.
Q: Does PCIe 5.0 make a noticeable difference for gaming or everyday use?
A: The PV593 is rated for up to 14,000 MB/s sequential reads, but a Reddit discussion about this drive says Gen5 may not make a practical difference for typical use. It is most relevant if your work benefits from very high transfer speeds; compare its price with a Gen4 drive before choosing it for general use.
Q: Will the PV593 work alongside another M.2 SSD?
A: A Reddit build discussion lists the 2TB PV593 alongside a second M.2 SSD and asks about motherboard compatibility. The replies say the proposed boards can support that build, but slot availability and shared PCIe lanes depend on the specific motherboard; check its manual before installing multiple drives.
Q: Is the PV593 worth choosing over a cheaper SSD?
A: A Reddit build discussion asks whether a cheaper 4TB SSD would be similar, and a commenter describes the PV593 as a low-cost Gen5 option while noting that Gen5 may not improve practical use. For this 2TB model, compare the price and capacity with alternatives; its listed advantage is PCIe 5.0 performance, up to 14,000 MB/s sequential reads.
