Best SSD for the PS5 !!!!!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is the best hard drive for the PS five read & write times way above the Samsung 930 in the ps5. Pretty expensive but you get what you pay for. I’ll definitely be buying another one for my second PS five that my daughter has.

Excellent SSD option for the PS5
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Im no expert but this is an incredibly fast SSD. Read and write speeds are some the best in the market and best of all it's PS5 compatible. It also comes with a data recovery service and heatsink already installed in this version. I recommend leaving at least a quarter of storage space left in the SSD when installing games, because read speeds start to slow down if the SSD is getting really full. Taking seconds to format and simple to screw into the console, its easily a great purchase.

Worth it.
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Super easy to install into my PS5. If you're installing an ssd into your PS5, be careful not to strip the screw. Keep that screw driver at a 90 degree perpendicular angle and apply a decent amount of downward force. Games load fast on this ssd. The fastest ssd you can get for the PS5. Although the 2tb version has a faster write speed. 1tb version still blows all the other nvme ssds out of the water.

Perfect for PS5.
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Perfect for PS5, comes with a built in heatsink so you just plug n’ play. Heatsink is small enough so you can still close the PS5 m.2 slot with system cover, which sony directs us to do to allow best for the best cooling. the 1TB model is the sweet spot, good price and value. Read speeds well above sony’s minimum recommended for the PS5. Highly recommend.

Q: QuestionAfter formatting, the PS5 reports a "read speed" of 6,539 MB/s. The box says "speeds up to" 7,000 MB/s and the reviews say "maximun read speed" of 7,300 MB/s. Is 6,539 MB/s an average read speed or is there a problem? DOM on the box is 09/2021.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This is normal, this is exactly what my drive reads in my console as well, this happens with the Samsung drives as well in the PS5, this is caused by the PlayStation hardware and not the actual drive itself.

Q: QuestionHow does this connect to my ps5? Is there an adapter or something?
Asked by Bigmackman.
- A:Answer This installs in your PS5 NVME slot, it already has a heat sink so no need to add one, use a Philips head screwdriver and follow the guide on the PlayStation website to install the drive. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5-install-m2-ssd/
