Seagate FireCuda HDD 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD - 3.5 Inch CMR SATA 6Gb/s 7200RPM 256MB Cache 300TB/year with Rescue Services (ST8000DX001)

It’s really incredible how fast these run. I’ve had one installed for about 3 years now as my main drive for os and applications and and it’s “old faithful” delivering high speed operations consistently. Just purchased my second one and will use it for fast storage of video files and games. My only complaint is the price which continues to be excessive in comparison with other equivalents out there.

edit: was upset, will update rating once exchange is complete

I am not really sure what to do, but mainly posting this in case other users have had the same issue. This was extremely easy to install, and worked immediately. My console storage was full and this was a great solution. HOWEVER - This thing only lasted about 3 months and it no longer is recognized by the PS5. I dont know when exactly, or obviously why this happened. I searched online and was only able to find one thread on reddit about this happening, and there didnt seem to be a consistent fix, but may have started happening due to some Sony updates. I have removed/reinstalled the product twice, and the outcome is still the same. Amazon customer service is usually flawless, however they told me since it was 90 days I cannot have it replaced or refunded. I will call seagate next but need to remove the product again since they need my serial number according to their CSRs. Just wanted to post this for awareness, good luck!

I’m happy with the increases benchmarks show on PCIe 3.0. In the future, I plan on buying a PCIe 4.0 card adaptor.

Very easy to insatall . Wish it was a little less expensive .

Arrived in a day. It’s easy to install and the performance is as per what was described and reported by other reviewers.

I kept seeing this specific SSD as the best for the PS5 so I had to pick one up due to the PS5s initial hard drive limitations. So far so good, easy install, and fits perfect!

Ich habe mir die etwas ältere Generation(510er) zugelegt, weil ich sowieso nur PCIe Gen3 auf dem Mainboard habe. Der Einbau war auf einer Skala von 1(Leicht) bis 10(Schwer so bei 2-3. Nicht so leicht wie eine GraKa einstecken aber nur ein bisschen schwerer.

Fitted into my PS5 in a couple of minutes. I have the digital only version of the PS5 so neede the extra storage after purchasing only a few games. All my games (so far) now run from this drive and load times and map transitions are amazingly fast!

Natürlich etwas teurer, aber kann dafür mit Leistung Punkten. Vor allem auch für die Chiaminer aufgrund der höheren TBW interessant. Die Geschwindigkeit ist top!
