Lexar Play SE 4TB SSD Review: The oddball of the bunch

The Lexar Play SE 4TB SSD is a budget-friendly option suitable for PS5 and desktop use as a secondary or games drive. It features a DRAM-less, QLC-infused design with an InnoGrit IG5236 controller and Intel 144-Layer QLC flash memory. The drive offers up to 7,000 / 6,000 MB/s for sequential reads and writes, with a five-year warranty and high endurance levels. The absence of external DRAM leverages HMB for cost savings and potentially reduced power consumption. The unique hardware configuration and flash memory choice make the Lexar Play SE an interesting option for those seeking extra storage capacity at a reasonable price point.
