Nextorage Japan 1TB(1000GB) Internal SSD Work with Playstation 5 and PC M.2 2280 Gen4 NVMe with Heatsink NEM-PA1TB/N SYM Maximum Transfer Rate Read: 7300MB/s, Write: 6000MB/s

Easy installation. Fast SDD as advertised

So far, the 2tb with heat sink works as advertised. I was going to get an upgraded fin but with the heat sink it wouldn’t work. I have decided to pause a money and just see how this works. Took 7 mins or less to install. Took 30secs to format. Will update if it messes up. Bought April 2023.

It arrived on time and worked

Product is good and easy to install

I chose this drive based on some positive review videos I watched. It wasn’t the cheapest option or the most expensive, but in the reviews the performance was great. This drive is also made by a subsidiary Sony company so it’s the closest thing to an official PS5 NVME drive on the market. The installed heatsink and overall drive looks well made and I’m sure heat won’t be an issue. I installed the drive in about 5 minutes, and the system immediately recognized it and formatted the drive. My speed came out to about 5700 Mbps. I was expecting 6500+, so I I initialized it again and had the same results. I decided to go ahead and copy some games over, and the process went very fast, comparing it to my series X with a 2TB expansion this ps5/nextorage combo is a bit faster. I’ve loaded and played a few games and this drive is just as fast as the built in storage, I assume the ps5 speed measuring process isn’t always accurate, and it’s aggravating the only way to run another speed test is to format the drive again. I did not have a suitable PC to try the drive on for a more accurate speed test. I thought maybe there was a firmware update for the drive that would help, searched the nextorage website and did not find any firmware updates so that’s not the case. I debated exchanging the drive but decided since actual performance is great I’m not going to bother, results would likely be the same. When I ordered this drive I also got an external USB enclosure in case of a firmware update before I installed it, but with no firmwares available that wasn’t necessary. I’m overall pleased with this drive and would purchase it again.

This is probably the best drive your going get for the price. Speed is the same as the firecuda, and since this a Sony subsidiary, they know how to design the heat sink for maximum effectiveness. This is a PS5 specific drive, even includes installation instructions. This is the drive you want

The hardest part of installing this was opening the ps5 shell. For the price I was expecting to at least have to assemble the heatsink myself but it was ready to go from the box.

Easy to install, works perfect
