The Patriot VIPER PV593 is a 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe SSD with TLC NAND and 4GB of DRAM, designed for compatible systems that need high-speed storage for gaming, large applications, or demanding file workflows; it is rated for sequential reads up to 14,000 MB/s and writes up to 12,000 MB/s.
Recommended For
- Desktop creators who regularly move or work with large video, image, or project files and have a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot can make use of the PV593’s high sequential-transfer performance.
- PC builders who want a 4TB drive for a large game library, while also using a PCIe 5.0-capable system and suitable M.2 cooling, may value its capacity and fast game-storage benchmark results.
- Enthusiast desktop users who want a high-end Gen5 SSD but are mindful of drive power draw may appreciate reviews reporting strong performance alongside comparatively efficient operation.
- Users building a DirectStorage-compatible gaming PC who want an SSD tested with that feature can consider it, provided their games and system also support DirectStorage.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When installing a large PC game library, the 4TB capacity gives you room to keep more titles and game files on one internal drive, reducing how often you need to uninstall games to make space.
- When editing high-resolution video or working with large raw-media and project files, the PV593 provides fast local storage for active work; review testing found strong results in a mixed-file transfer test.
- When adding storage to a compatible PS5, the PV593 can hold more installed games for quick access; allow for a suitable SSD heatsink, since this model is sold without one.
- When loading games from an M.2 drive, the PV593 delivered a game-load result in the top third of the SSDs tested by The SSD Review, though actual load times depend on the game and system.
- As a Windows system drive for everyday apps and files, it offers responsive storage; daily-use benchmark testing placed the PV593 in the upper third of SSDs tested, rather than showing a guarantee of a specific boot-time improvement.

Reference Q&A
Q: Is the Patriot Viper PV593 4TB worth it over a PCIe 4.0 SSD for gaming?
A: Choose the PV593 if you also need 4TB of storage or regularly move large files and have a PCIe 5.0-capable system. For gaming alone, a good PCIe 4.0 drive such as the Samsung 990 PRO is often the more practical choice: the PV593’s much higher sequential-speed rating does not guarantee noticeably faster gameplay, and a Tom’s Hardware test across 11 games found little or no consistent difference between SSD generations in most titles.
Q: Patriot Viper PV593 4TB or Samsung 9100 PRO 4TB—which should I buy?
A: Both are 4TB PCIe 5.0 M.2 drives aimed at high-bandwidth workloads. The PV593 is a fit if its price is lower and its listed speeds—up to 14,000 MB/s read and 12,000 MB/s write—meet your needs. The Samsung 9100 PRO has higher rated sequential speeds, up to 14,800/13,400 MB/s, so consider it if you prioritize Samsung’s higher published throughput. Check that your system supports PCIe 5.0 and provides suitable M.2 cooling before choosing either.
Q: Should I get the PV593 2TB or pay more for the 4TB model?
A: Choose the PV593 4TB if you keep a large game library, media projects, or other sizable files on one drive; it provides twice the listed capacity of the 2TB option. Choose 2TB if that capacity is sufficient and the lower purchase cost matters more. Compare current prices per terabyte, since pricing can change, and confirm that the selected capacity fits your budget and storage needs.
Q: Patriot Viper PV593 4TB or Samsung 990 PRO 4TB for a desktop PC?
A: Choose the PV593 if your motherboard supports PCIe 5.0 and your work benefits from faster large sequential transfers; its listed maximum is 14,000/12,000 MB/s read/write. Choose the Samsung 990 PRO if you want a PCIe 4.0 drive for gaming or everyday desktop use, especially if the system lacks a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot. Samsung rates the 990 PRO at up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s, and game testing suggests the PV593’s higher peak bandwidth may not translate into a consistent gameplay advantage.
Q: Will this SSD work in my motherboard or laptop?
A: It requires an M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe NVMe storage. A compatible PCIe slot may run the drive at a lower speed than PCIe 5.0, so check your device’s supported form factor, interface, and capacity before buying. M.2 2280 fit alone does not guarantee laptop compatibility.
Q: Does this SSD include a heatsink?
A: No. The product is listed without a heatsink. If your motherboard has an M.2 heatsink, check that it fits and use it as directed; otherwise, consider whether your system’s cooling is suitable for your workload, especially during sustained transfers.
Q: Who is this 4TB SSD suitable for?
A: It suits desktop users who need 4TB of internal storage and have a compatible PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, particularly for large game libraries or file-heavy work. Its advertised sequential speeds are up to 14,000 MB/s read and 12,000 MB/s write; actual performance depends on the system and workload.
Q: Will it reach its advertised speeds in my PC?
A: Only if the system supports the drive’s PCIe 5.0 x4 interface and can provide suitable cooling. In a slot with a lower PCIe generation, the drive may operate at that slot’s lower speed; listed maximum sequential speeds are not guaranteed in every system or workload.
Q: Is the PV593’s PCIe 5.0 speed worth paying extra for gaming?
A: Not necessarily. In a Reddit gaming-PC discussion, commenters said Gen5 speed may not make a practical difference for gaming and that a Gen4 SSD can be sufficient. The PV593 is specified for sequential reads up to 14,000 MB/s, but whether that extra speed is worthwhile depends on the price difference and your workloads.
Q: Does the PV593 need a heatsink?
A: The listed 4TB model does not include a heatsink. In a Reddit PC-build discussion mentioning the PV593, commenters raised heat as a concern with Gen5 SSDs and recommended cooling. Check whether your motherboard provides an M.2 heatsink; if not, consider adding compatible SSD cooling.
Q: Is a 4TB PV593 a sensible choice for a gaming PC?
A: It suits a build that needs 4TB of fast internal storage, provided the system supports an M.2 2280 NVMe drive. Reddit build discussions also suggest comparing its price with less expensive Gen4 storage; if gaming is the main use and the savings matter, Gen4 may be the more practical choice.
