This SSD works great on my PS5. The load times are as good as the system’s internal SSD.

Bought to add more memory to PS5. I installed it and it is working as expected. Got it for a good price at Best Buy. Just note that you will also need to purchase a heat sink if installing in PS5 as this particular SSD doesn’t come with one.

This SSD is one of the best consumer SSD currently available. The r/w speeds are insane and this product will be relevant for years to come. I was able to get this amazing product for the price that people would normally pay for a lower tier gen 3 SSD and I think that’s amazing.

Wickedly fast. If you have a system that fully supports PCIe 4.0 and run applications that require fast read/write, you can’t find a better option. It can get hot as many other reviewers noted, but so far with a motherboard-supplied heatsink I haven’t had any throttling issue. My processing times are more than halved after switching.

You’re wondering if this thing is faster than the money left your account when you swiped and punched your code.
Faster.
You’re wondering if this thing really did load a full install of windows in 4 minutes.
Nope. Did it in less.
I’m wondering if you could somehow attach a tiny itty-bitty parachute to its rear end and send it down the road?
It’d stop the rotation of the earth.
If you’re reading this, you already made the decision to buy it. There isn’t a question.
The only question is how many.

Decided to get this over the Samsung 980 pro due to reports that you needed to update Samsung in a PC to unlock higher speeds. Paired the WD Black SN850 1TB with a basic low profile heatsink to fit in the PS5. Works perfectly and has a read speed over 6500. Plays PS5 games perfectly and transfer games so quickly. Very happy with my decision.

Picked this up to upgrade my PS5, and I’m am very happy with my purchase. You do have to get a 3rd party heatsink, but you can find a quality one on amazon for 12-20 bucks. I got it through the black Friday sale so between that and the heatsink I came out spending 80 bucks less than the same version of this ssd with the integrated heatsink. Since the PS5 requires a gen 4 ssd options are a little limited, but this should be one of your tip choices.
