This SSD has great read and write speeds for the PlayStation 5. It offers a very nice heatsink to keep the temperature down when installed in a PlayStation 5 closed environment. It also, will install and load games on the console very fast and would recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable SSD for the PLayStation 5.

Easy installation in my PS5. Just power down and follow directions on YouTube. It snaps right in and marries up to the PS5 internal memory to give you 4 more terabytes to enjoy. Works flawlessly so far. A great value at around 300 dollars

I bought this a few months ago. I must say that this product works!! I am able to install it on my PS5 and download so many games. I still have some storage left. It reads and writes really fast! I am so happy that I got this and it still works very well now. You won’t be regret!

I bought this for my PS5 when it was on sale for 50% off so I am writing from that point of view. It is faster than the stock SSD. Easy install and have had zero issues.

I bought this for the PS5. It was an easy installation. The drive meets all the requirements. A friend recommended that I get a SSD with the heatsink already installed since he was nervous when he installed his. This one fits the bill. 5yr warranty from Seagate. This is also the largest capacity the PS5 can support; no need to upgrade for the rest of the console cycle. No issues so far. NASCompares' YouTube channel pretty much convinced me to buy this drive above all others.

I admit that this drive is EXPENSIVE but completely worth it. I play a lot of games, so many that I have always expanded my consoles in some way, either I got a console with a lot of memory or I did it myself. This thing is blazing fast and extremely easy to install once you figure out how to take off the ps5 cover without breaking it. I honestly struggled more with that stupid plastic cover than slotting the ssd in and securing it with the screw. It’s a perfect fit and it’s plug and play. Once you get your system back on, the PlayStation will pick it up immediately and ask you to format it and that’s honestly it. Congratulations you’re good to go! Also you can still use an external drive if that is your prerogative, just plug it back in after you format the ssd, it won’t pick it up otherwise. Moving the games took seconds, like it’s literally insane how fast it is. My advice if you’re looking for a good amount of memory but don’t want to drop the money for a 4TB, get a 2TB and no lower, the write and read speeds are not simply there. The drives can go up to the speeds that are advertised on the box but it’s a different story once you plug that drive in, with everything the more memory you have the better performance you’re going to get out of it. Keep that in mind when you’re trying to make your purchase. Hope this helps!

I was at first intimidated by having to open up my ps5 to install this only to find out how Easy it was to do so. youtube made it even easier so I suggest that first, especially if you have never done it before. And now I have 4 tb of external memory on my ps5.

Very happy with the purchase. I bought it for my PlayStation 5 & I’m happy I don’t have to keep moving my games around or deciding what to delete etc. I don’t have any issues with it at all. Good buy even though the price makes me want to cry.

I have been eyeballing this SSD since it first came out and it still top of the line after a few years being on the market and what they going up and down in price it was a no-brainer to get it at the price it was I'm very happy with my purchase it feels so great to have so much space on my PS5 now that I can have all of my PS5 games that I own on the SSD and leave my main console memory for screenshots and videos since the PlayStation doesn't have a lot of memory.
It's super fast and super reliable the form factor is just perfect I wish I didn't have to put away in my PS5 and never see it again I wish there was a way for me to see my SSD every single day!
After using it for almost a month it's definitely changed the way I look at my PlayStation Now!
And with so many games coming out in the year it's great to know that I'll be able to have them on my PlayStation without having to delete one or the other mortal Kombat comes out tomorrow and it's at 140 GB and then Spider-Man next month and Alan Wake 2

Great product! I used it in my PS5 and it is blazing fast. Games load just as fast if not faster than the PS5 internal game drive. It is pricey but I would definitely recommend if you are looking to add space and speed to your PS5 or computer.

I paid half price for the best SSD with heat sink in the market. It runs beautifully and gives me the amount of space needed so that I don’t have to delete any games to install another game. Pay the extra dollars for the better SSD, save yourself the inconvenience and just play. Highly recommended.

Lots of superfast storage. I do heavy 3D Design work and this drive is great for loading lots of assets very quickly. The difference between this SSD and my previous SSD is like going from a HDD to a 2.5 SSD. 7,000MB/S is blazing fast and my wait times have gone down significantly since installing this drive. I needed the space for my large amount of assets that are held in a database, and the read write on this drive is just incredible. My previous m.2 took between 20-30 second to load some assets and with this drive it take a mere few seconds.

Kinda pricey I should say but definitely worth to buy if you are planning to put more games into your PS5 console. Best part is that it already comes with the heatsink so you just have to install and you're ready to go.
