Bought this for PS5. I am not a Call of Duty player so 1TB seems the right size. Very easy to install. PS5 recognized it as soon as I started it up and formatting it was simple. I have a pair of smaller games installed on it and they work perfectly. Unlike the installed original PS5 SSD, the formatting takes up very little space leaving 1000.1 GB usable for games. you can transfer games between drives. You cannot transfer the PS5 operating system or game saves to this drive. After formatting, the PS5 tested this drive showing a read speed of 6558 Mb/sec. That is slower than the 7000 Mb/sec claimed but remember that this drive can be used on some modern PCs and the PS5 operating system may have a slight bottleneck. The PS5 requires an add-on SSD drive to have a read speed of at least 5500 Mb/sec so this SSD easily meets that.

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.

Bought this for use in a PS5. Meets all requirements and has the heatsink installed.
Installation – easy peasy. Took no effort and fit perfectly. Tip though, make sure to put the metal SSD cover back in place. You may think leaving it off will allow it to cool easier, but this is wrong. The SSD bay and fan set up is made to pull the heat out of the SSD slot.
Transferring – putting data onto it was extremely fast. A lot better than transfer times on externals. Took but a minute to transfer all my data.
Performance – these specs can be found online. But I will say I saw no lag or issue on multiple games played from the drive. Saw no difference in load time.
I recommend this for the PS5. Originally bought a WD Black, but after comparison and record for durability between the 2 companies, this was a better choice for me. I keep the console until the 6 somes out.

I bought this and the WD SN850. Both load insanely fast. You can’t go wrong with either one.

Bought the Seagate Firecuda 530 SSD for my Playstation 5 and highly recommend it.

Installs directly inside of the PS5 expansion port. Super easy to install it took me 5 minutes. Yes it was expensive but worth every penny. Added 1TB of storage to my PS5 & the best part? No dangling wires or SSD plugged into my USB ports. Way more expensive as opposed to the external SSD storage, but worth having a USB port free and no extra cables & hardware dangling. PS5 formatted it immediately and was able to use it immediately. A must have for PS5 owners.

Installed on my new PS5 without any issues. Would night recommend to any PS5 owners for fast play and install!

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.
