WD_BLACK 1TB SN850 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive with Heatsink - Works with Playstation 5, Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,000 MB/s - WDS100T1XHE

Very easy to install just had to go buy a #1 Philips screw bit.

So Ive looked at reviews on YouTube and compared SSDs like the Samsung 980 Pro and Seagate Firecuda from their performance and heating, and the Firecuda wins it overall, BUT fails on the pricing. Plus the speed on these drivers are VERY minimal, and even though the WD Black supposedly can get a bit warmer, it aint anything for you to even worry about at all. Why would I want to spend on a Seagate Firecuda 2TB M.2 SSD for $360 when I can save $60 or more on the WD BLACK 2TB M.2 SSD? It is still really fast regardless, and people never really had any issues with the WD Black as it has been out longer. It is also the 1st SSD that Sony recommended people to get for the PS5. Western Digital also offers a 5 year warranty on the SSD, just like the others.

My desktop launches in a couple of seconds from BIOS to Windows. Super easy to install and use. I would recommend getting a heatsink if you have a powerful computer to keep it safe for longterm.

Works like a charm

Less expensive than the official models

UPDATE 4/12/23

After buying myself a ps5 for Christmas it didn’t take long to fill up the storage. I began looking into options to add extra storage space. I purchased a external only to find out they won’t work for PS5 games only ps4. That’s when I found this the internal ssd by WD. I got the 1tb and not only is it amazing for the ps5 but it’s super easy to install and much cheaper than buying from the stores like Walmart and Best Buy

true to size easy to install and very helpful

Great product! Since installation of this product into my PS5, it runs much faster & smoother. I recommend this product for anyone looking for more storage for their PS5.

Super easy to install and crazy that ps5 is not standard with 1Tb. A must have unlesss you play the delete a game.
