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)

Heatsink fit perfectly, transfer speed listed a little over 6k, but the ps5 transfered all about 600gb worth of games in around 8 minutes, so Im happy with it so far.

With other drives like the Firecuda etc really pushing the limits of write and read speeds the Venom8 claiming to be even speedier crept in past all the others (kinda like a FAMTOM DRIVE hyuck hyuck) at a more reasonable price to boot and what is claimed here seems to not just be boasting. For the price point this is a top tier M2 SSD and will give whatever you slap this puppy into the juice you want. Of course like any other M2 drives installation is fairly simple if using this on PS5 just carefully remove your plates look for the M2 installation slot, remove the lid then remove the screw which should be by default where youre going to replace it after you carefully slide the drive into its slot (after applying recommended heatsink of your preference)...replace screw and ofcourse lid and enjoy the new storage you have....its literally dummy proof. A laptop or desktop should be just as simple. Moral being this is a well priced and powerful M2 and will make whatever you place it into sore like an eagle. Recommended highly...comes in a nice package too.

Had to buy seat sink

Easy to install. Heatsink cover is very heavy and A+ quality. Heatsink pads are included. 3 types/thickness. This drive is extremely fast. Was able to play COD directly from the drive without and lag. Price was great compared to other brands. If youre installing in a Playstation 5, make sure you order the SSD with heatsink.

The speeds are fast, crazy fast Mine shows 6634mb on the ps5 read test... it loads faster (very noticeable amount faster) than the factory drive... the only complaint I have is the heatsink.... my ps5 has a plastic ridge/tab by the bay screw area and this heatsink wanted to sit ontop of that instead of inside of which made it lean at a slope and the screw couldnt line up straight.... I machined mine down to fit inside like the factory door but not everyone is willing nor should they have to do that... If i were doing it all over again I would buy the standard non kit version of this 2tb drive here on amazon for $129.99 and a $16.99 Sabrent heatsink and it will be as fast or faster than a western digital black , maybe even the cuda

I bought the 2Tb with heatsink for my PS5 drive version. It was really easy to install. The only thing that I actually had to look up was, which thermal pad to use. Just inserted the NVMe drive, put on the blue thermal pad, and installed the heatsink. At first, I thought the heatsink mount screw wasnt going to install, but just had to move the heatsink around till screw holes were actually lined up. Format was easy to do, and drive read speed was 6386. Reformatted again and got the same read speed. This drive is fast and worth the price, being that its just as fast or even faster than some other well-known name brands. Now if only the PS5 Wi-Fi speed could keep up when downloading my purchased games for PS4 with the PS5 version. So, I havent had a chance to play any games, yet. The only con to this is on my part, I couldnt afford the 4Tb version. As I have already said, this drive is worth it.

Really great price for a well made and taken care of m.2 ssd. Simple to install into a ps5. Well responsive and as fast as it claims. Came in a very stylish tin and even has a decal to put on the outside of the playstation. Will order again. Got the 1TB product, but they do have a 4tb on their website as well. Thank you Fantom Drives. Plus has free software available to computer users who register the device on their website.

Honestly I was on the fence about buying these things because Ive never upgraded a console before but was quick and easy and finally have enough storage to download some more games without moving stuff around or deleting stuff. So far so good!

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.

Easy to install. Very happy. Good performance.
