The Fikwot FN955 is an M.2 2280-form-factor NVMe SSD using PCIe Gen4 x4 interface and NVMe 1.4 protocol. It employs 3D NAND TLC flash, and advertises extremely fast sequential read/write speeds — up to ≈ 7300 MB/s read and ≈ 6300–6800 MB/s write, depending on the capacity variant. Fikwot markets the FN955 as compatible with desktops, laptops, and gaming consoles (incl. PlayStation 5), and as suitable for gaming, creative workloads, or general high-speed storage needs.

PCIe Gen4 x4 offers high bandwidth; ensures the drive can deliver maximum sequential read/write performance and makes it more future-proof than older Gen3 drives.
High sequential read/write speeds are beneficial for tasks like game load times, transfers, loading large files. Random I/O performance matters for OS boot, application load times, and responsiveness.
TLC NAND generally balances performance, durability, and cost well (better endurance than QLC). Endurance rating (TBW) is important if you plan to write a lot (e.g. heavy workloads, frequent reinstalls).
High-speed NVMe drives can heat up under load. Effective heat dissipation (heatsink, graphene sticker, good airflow) helps avoid thermal throttling and ensures stable performance.
The drive must match the physical form factor (M.2 2280) and meet the interface/protocol requirements of the target system. For consoles like PS5 — there are additional requirements (minimum speed, heatsink, sometimes firmware validation).
The PCIe Gen4 x4 + NVMe 1.4 interface of FN955 gives it a theoretical bandwidth that lets it reach ~7300 MB/s read and ~6300–6800 MB/s write, which is comparable to many premium SSDs on the market. This speed helps dramatically reduce load times, speed up file transfers, and improve responsiveness — beneficial if you run games, heavy applications, or large media editing tasks.
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
I’ve had this installed for a few months and have had 0 issues. But I usually don’t have my ps5 in rest mode.
Putting the heat sync on was easy, and they give you an extra thermal strip incase you mess up with one of them. The screws that came with it to pin its ass end down didnt fit my mother board so have a few on hand just in case.
