Fantom Drives VENOM8 2TB SSD NVMe Gen 4 M.2 2280 for PS5 Storage Expansion, Gaming PC & Laptops - Up to 7400MB/s - 3D NAND TLC 2TB M.2 (VM8X20)

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.

Had to buy a heatsink separately but it was worth the money.

Worked in my PS5. Was easy to install and no problems so far.

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!

Runs good no issues.

REVIEWER ABILITY LEVEL: Im someone who was a self-taught geek, comfortable with figuring out/resolving software issues in computers. Hardware has always been intimidating because oopses cost more. As for mechanically inclined? Lucky to even know what a screwdriver is. Now I am operating with a brain injury making cognitive tasks more difficult. Been installed in unit for 1 week. Installed in 1st gen PS4. In my experience process was easy. The hardware swap took less than 10 minutes start-finish. Software took 30 minutes. Downloading...think Ill be doing that for the rest of my life but I am on rural internet (think dial up and be grateful - all games say 99+ hours for update files). TIPS: Other reviewers covered most so I will cover what I did not see (as I read a LOT of the reviews): - Perform this in a clean environment so you dont get dust/fur/food crumbs inside your machine/foul connections - File you want to download title = Full Install File 5.01 from the website listed in the instructions - Follow instructions exactly and youre golden. Dont? You might need to come back & buy a new HD kit or PS4. - One reviewer said there was a gap? No gaps/seam issues in my install. My finished product looks stock. Is not. :-) - When re-installing games or update files, if like me and long download times I might suggest not running it constantly for long periods of time as it might overheat or burn out while you sleep causing the HD to fail or motherboard/other components to overheat or fail (esp. if older model). - Mine had a nice little bag for the 500 HD enclosure - Screwdriver & screws are in small bag that you have to look for (mine were in baggie for HD bag which was inside empty baggie for 500HD case - didnt find till almost end of install). CONCLUSION: 2 TB drive is running well, no issues so far. Will be nice (some day) to have all my games on there. haha Is nice to no longer have everyone go flying past me in Destiny or be throwing grenades at me angrily as I sit there with LOADING... flashing across my screen and my Fireteam saying nasty things to me. Working up the guts to crack my machine (& not fry it) took more time than actually installing the HD. The average adult can install this, even those who would define themselves as mechanically challenged. A second person might be needed but only to help find the screws if you drop them (before the cat does!) and someone has to be the first to go down once the gaming can commence. Have fun and game on!

Reads data and loads games pretty fast. Easily transferred 7 games from console to the ssd within minutes.

Fast delivery, installation video seems easy enough.

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!

Got it installed and formatted size was 3.99tb. Installed 500gb in 6min.
