Bought for PS5, Excellent for the price!

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2021
Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSDVerified Purchase

You should and will need a compatible heatsink for this drive, regardless of what youtubers or others say. If you wish to extend the life of this device it is paramount to get one. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KDDKDNN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for $17.99 and it is an EXCELLENT fit and I mean PERFECT. Super easy to apply and install and takes less than 5 mins. Even comes with a screwdriver that can be used to also unscrew the ssd compartment on the console, one tool for the job!

As far as this drive goes, once installed it ed at 6532.91 MB/s which is significantly faster than the internal SSD. I transferred 5 games totaling about 200gb in under 5 mins to this ssd from the internal storage. Afterwards, I proceeded to some games from the PS Plus collection and several others from previous free PSN games. That obviously took some time but after finishing I now have about 13 games at 900GB and still have 1.3 TB of space available. Unlike with traditional or hybrid HDDs you get the FULL D SPACE. Not 1.97 TB or 1.8 TB, 2 TB which can be used immediately upon rebooting your console.

Booting up Farcry 6 with the disk from the home screen to the saved game position took about 25 secs give or take a couple for me to move the cursor to Continue Game. I have had no game crashes as of yet and no issues with pop in or textures or assets missing other than what the game shipped with. No slow downs and load times from death screen are about the same as internal storage which is approx 6 secs. Don't expect to load large open world games like that any faster than internal storage unless made by first party studios. Primarily, this drive is to allow you more space for your current collection. I have 37 games, 9 of which are PS5 games and in theory I could install my entire library between the internal and M.2 storage.

Tips: Make sure you either take a picture of your drive before you install the heatsink or write down the serial number as it is not on the box so you can it at Wester Digital for your warranty. I did not do it and would have to remove the card, remove the heatsink and get the product serial number then reassemble and reinstall (dammit bobby!). Warranty is 5 years which is better than spinning drives which tends to be about 3.

The Samsung 980 is the comparable drive releasing end of this month for $449.99 and the only main difference is the price and convenience of plug and play, no additional heatsink purchase necessary. However, if you want to save $110.99 buy this drive and the heatsink I linked and you save bigtime, using the extra money for your next game!

Should you later decide to get a larger 3 or 4 TB SSD you can take this one and add it to your PC. Or if we get a PS5 with a 2TB SSD built in then add this drive to that console and double your storage capacity which would be more than enough until the next console cycle. I really hope this review helps others specifically buying for their consoles. I cannot speak to the performance on PC at this time. Game on Comrades!

Expensive, however offers great performance

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2021
Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSDVerified Purchase

Now from my perspective I’m not going to get into the nitty-gritty about write and read speeds and maximizing them because I installed the storage for real world usage, not its maximum benchmarks.

I did get the slightly hampered 2GB model, because it’s worth noting at the one gigabyte model seems to put out better numbers, however either way you go you will get a very performance storage drive that is rather easy to install, depending on your motherboard.

My motherboard had a built in heat sink for the NVMe slots left on the board, so I did not need to buy one separately for this stick, nor buy the one with the heat sink on it. But I emphasize that you will need the Heat dissipation. Using the drive you can certainly tell that it is getting rather hot while in use.

So I do primarily gaming and loading up virtual instruments for music production on this particular drive and I have seen no particular issues or hiccups that I would expect. Adding and mounting the drive was very easy, and my particular OS, which I am using windows 11 preview, picked up the drive just fine. Write speeds are incredibly fast, maximizing any both times, transfers, and gigabit s. All incredibly fast.

The price is a bit steep but you know what you’re getting into when you’re paying for this at this particular time. It is cutting edge speeds so there’s an expected on that. In of comparing it to GEN3, I don’t think you’re going to see or notice the difference enough during regular use or even gaming for that matter if you were to make the upgrade. Probably a few seconds here and there. However I went from a standard SATA SSD do this thing. It is a substantial difference.

So this product is best for people who are just entering into the M2 space. There are a few competitively priced alternatives to this drive such as Sabrent Rocket Plus, however the warranty that comes with this drive is a notable difference.

Loads PS4 and PS5 games fast and moves data between drives quickly and without issue

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023
Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSD w/ HeatsinkVerified Purchase

I'll it to some trepidation when ordering this, because extended storage in the PS4 and Xbox One generation (and also switching your main HDD) was a mixed bag. I many nights wondering why various operations were taking so long.

I had nothing to worry about. Installation was easy, which I expected, but holy cow, I didn't expect to move Final Fantasy Remake (PS5, 90GB) from the main drive to this in less than 10 seconds. I didn't know how much of a performance difference I should expect between the two drives, so the night I got the system I was experimenting a lot with launching the same game from both. Not much difference. Honestly, this integrates so well into the PS5 that it's easy to forget it's not standard-issue.

I wish I could speak more to the technical aspects, but I gotta Todd Howard this one. It just works. If you get this (I have the 2TB version), you'll have plenty of room for everything that has a permanent place on your system, recent purchases and the PS+ games you're looking to try out, and still have space remaining.

Good value, large SSD. Nice and quick and easy to install. I had intended to add this with my 1TB of the same make, but that one died on install to a new slot. Unsure if that was due to static discharge, or if it was down to a dodgy SSD. It had been around 5 years old at the time. If this one lasts longer we know I'm the problem.
Never had an issue with performance or heat, seems good quality.

Excellent bit of kit, greatly expands your PS5 game storage options

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2023
Capacity: 2TBStyle: SSD w/ HeatsinkVerified Purchase

As someone with a lot of PS5 and PS4 games I felt that I really needed an extra place to store my games. After doing some research I noticed that in the PS5 there is a M.2 drive slot which is a brilliant way to add a drive into the PS5 without it being too complicated to install.

In of fitting this drive into your PS5 it's worth watching a video online with instructions. While it's not particularly complicated I would say take it slow and carefully just to make sure you do it the right way. When it's fitted right it sits perfectly and there shouldn't be any issues while it's being used. It will cater to M.2 drives of various size which is great as it means you can decide how much you want to spend on one depending on your usage case. I'd say for the average you'd be happy with a 1TB drive but if you a lot of games then you would probably want 2TB or 4TB.

In of the heatsink option it is heavily recommended you get the M.2 storage with a heatsink particularly if you play for long sessions when you're on your PS5.

If the majority of games you play are PS4 then you may want to consider getting a USB external hard drive as PS4 games will run off that (PS5 games however must be either on the internal memory or on the M.2 drive) Overall I am very satisfied with my WD_BLACK SN850 2TB drive, it's definitely a great solution for my setup and I do highly recommend you pick one up at some point if you do get a PS5.

Capacity: 1TBStyle: SSDVerified Purchase

I bought this to upgrade my new laptop.
Spent a bit of time researching drives and this one came up above all the others, when looking at speed, price, size, and reliability.
It is always difficult to look at specs for these because only experience using it can give you a real feel for it. So you need to rely on manufacturer's info and reviews.
Using it now for two months and it works great. Fitted right in on my HP elitebook laptop, but for sure it will be compatible with others. Quite fast, and as far as I can see runs really cool even when I'm running simulations on Matlab.
It double my storage which is perfect for me at the moment.
In my opinion this is excellent value for money and I would recommend it, if you are upgrading your machine or getting a gaming machine built.

Excellent SSD Upgrade For My PS5

Capacity: 500GBStyle: SSD w/ HeatsinkVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

A great SSD, built-in heatsink and perfect for my PS5!

After 2 years of owning a PS5 I've come to the point where I need the extra SSD space for my growing PS5 game collection, my PS4 games are all stored on an external HDD so I could have as much stock SSD storage as possible without wasting it on PS4 games that don't benefit from the SSD.

Installing this SSD takes all of 5 minutes, I've built PCs and have a bit of experience but even then it's a very simple task for someone that hasn't done it before. Once installed turning on the PS5 greets you with the 'Format new storage' just like it did with my USB HDD, once that's done in all of a minute or so the PS5 launched as usual.

Now all that's left is to organise the new drive with a few games which is very easy as the PS5 allows you to move the PS5 games to the new M.2 without having to delete and reinstall!
As shown in my clip the copying is super quick! I was able to move 130+GB in just over a minute 😃👍🏻
I can also change the default install location to the new SSD instead of the stock one without too much fuss.

Overall I'm really happy with this upgrade, the SSD works flawlessly and seems to boot games faster than the stock PS5 SSD 👍🏻
Purchased on offer for just under £70 for the 500GB version.
