    Great little SSD drive. I bought 2 of these 2TB drives. I use on on my PS5 and the other on my Xbox Series X.. I went online and bought a couple of 3ft UDB 3.2 2x2 cables because the ones that come with the drive are only a few inches long.. that's really my only complaint. The drive is a lot smaller in real life than I thought itd be. Ive only experienced 5 Gbps transfer performance on my Xbox Series X.. Hopefully the PS5 will be faster. These drives are great if youre looking for tiny and super portable.

    Extremely Fast! Plug in and that's it! (Heads up: it's not defaulted to NTFS so you may wish to format before adding files) Extremely Slim! (Perfect for my New Razer Blade 15 Advanced Edition) Very impressed! This is made for next gen USB ports (it's Gen 3.2 2x2) It's a little costly but that's how all new technology is sold to the consumer. Don't let that scare you. It's definitely worth the purchase!

    Great SSD, Some Limitations

    Very fast for an external ssd. So far no problems but have only used it for a few weeks. I'm currently using it with my PS5 which works well. If thinking about this for a PS5 you should know that you will only be getting 1000MB/s due to the USB-C on the console, not the advertised speed of 2000MB/s. It is also expensive so I can't recommend to everyone. Otherwise, I am happy with this purchase.

    The PS5 does not come with much internal storage. I purchased this external storage for my son’s PS5 and he was grateful that I did. It is SSD drive and should last longer than Gen 1 external drive.

    Works just like it said it would. No difference playing a game from my PS5 or the external. The price is extremely high though.
