Fantom Drives 2TB NVMe Gen 4 M.2 SSD Upgrade Kit for Playstation 5 - VENOM8 PS5 Solid State Drive with Heatsink - 3D NAND TLC Internal Drive - Transfer Speed up to 7400MB/s (VM8X20-PS5)

Just got this 1tb gen 4 nvme for my ps5 memory expansion. It came in a very sturdy tin box (beats a paper box) and with great padding for the m.2 ssd. The installation was very easy on the playstation 5. Really good for the price and it is well worth it. After installing the PS5 ssd (literally took 30 seconds), it asked me to format when I turned it on. After, it showed me how fast the drive was on the playstation. I got 6206MB/s speed. Very satisfied because I know the PS5 specs are lower than gaming pcs and when I had tested my previous nvme from WD (i had the SN850), I only got 5700MB/s on the PS5. I called fantom drives to see if they had a heatsink and they said they will be launching one in a couple weeks. tldr: better speed than the WD SN850 on PS5 with lower price. highly recommend.

The only thing I can say about the installation process was that the instructions for removal of the PS5 outer cover was a little confusing but not hard to figure out. The rest of it was quite easy. Im satisfied with this product. No issues with performance or anything after 1 week of daily use.

This was so much easier to do than i thought it wouls be. It only took me about 15 min to replace my hard drive in my PS4. The only issus i had was the screwdriver provided. It was so short, it was impossible to use. Once i used my own, it went quick as can be. If you have alot of games on your hard drive,be prepared for long download time. Definitely worth the price.

It works great not one issue fits right and takes seconds to install and setup.

works mint once installed. super easy to remove the drive and install the new one, the trick is the software update part. On the web page that the included pamphlet sends you to, there is a download option right at the top of the page for the current update. This is not the file. This file is about 300,000 kb, the file you want for the install is further down the page, nearly the bottom. The file size for this is about 800,000 kb. You also have to create a couple of folders and move the file to the folders in the included memory stick, using your own personal computer. You need to do this first before you try updating the files from the memory stick into the newly installed drive. The details of this are all included in the pamphlet and easy to follow. Once the format is righted on the stick, exactly as stated in the instructions, install is a breeze. The other pain is having to reinstall all of your game data disc by disc or from the download store as a digital file before you can install all of your saved game data from a memory stick or the cloud. Playstation really dropped the ball with the default memory of just 500 gb, especially with all these new games coming out and the gigantic worlds. Having installed this first before I ever bought or downloaded any games at all would have been the move.

I hate that every time I want to revisit a game or download a new one I must delete a current game I’m using. It was super easy to install, I was worried thinking I should of went with the 4tb but surprisingly The 2tb is plenty enough for me to download 15 games that I won’t play buy at least have the access too.

Why would y’all do this to us if it don’t fit now I gotta buy a whole new heat sink

Thank you

Fast delivery. From the US to the Philippines in just 1 week. Product is amazing.

I purchased the 1TB version to add more storage to the PS5. The install was a breeze. Available storage read 1.1TB which is amazing. I moved all of my PS5 and PS4 games onto this SSD about 700 GB worth and the transfer took less than 5 minutes. The games load fast and everything works. No complaints here. Great product and at a better price than the competition with read speeds of about 6,400 mb/s per my PS5. Get one!
