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)

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

I bought this kit due to reasonable price and the fact it provided everything I needed to upgrade, including instructions on the process. A few quick notes: 1. Before swapping drives, back up your PS4 to the USB drive and transfer to your computer (to make room for the install file). Once you install the drive and set up the PS4, you can go back to backup and restore using the USB drive and restore your saves and profiles for the PS4 (including guest accounts). 2. Download the full version of the system update, not the smaller file, as your PS4 will not recognize it and you will think youve just bricked your PS4. 3. This drive, though not an SSD or SSHD, is still faster than the factory HDD. I am speaking for the first gen PS4, I cannot say if it is faster than the PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro. 4. I have thirteen games currently installed on my PS4 after updating my HDD and still have 1TB and a little extra left. This absolutely helps when you hate deleting stuff just to make room for new games, especially when you have a lot of DLC or its a game that has had massive updates. 5. There are faster drives out there (SSD/SSHD) that are more expensive as well. This would be the budget option as far as storage is concerned. If you dont need the whole kit as I did, then you can spend less by simply buying the drive itself. I do appreciate that it comes with a casing and cable so that I can repurpose my old drive as a portable storage drive.

I put this in my PS5 and now it runs like a top.

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.

I was looking for extra storage for my PS5 but I didn’t want to break my bank.Upon installing the drive and powering on my PS5 I found that everything worked flawlessly and the data transfer speeds were fast. I brought a separate heatsink, which it was cheaper for me, but still an easy install.

Installation was fast and simple for the PS5.. drive is incredibly fast and have been extremely pleased with the purchase. Must have for your PS5!!

I like the easy directions, it is seamless with my ps5

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

Easy to Install and use

Great drive will buy again
