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

I was debating between the SN850 and the Samsung Pro for my PS5 but after reading reviews, turns out some of the Samsung drives require a firmware update to get the faster download speeds and not having a desktop computer at home, updating the firmware would have been a PIA. Decided to go with the SN850 and its been great. The 2tb version was offered at great price and even though I dont have a ton of games at this point, Im sure it will eventually get filled up. The speeds are just as advertised and installation was a breeze. I paired the drive with a Sabrent NVME heatsink that was designed exclusively for the PS5 and everything is working just like it should. Definitely would recommend the combination of the two if youre thinking of extending your storage.

Added 2 TB of internal storage to my PS5 in 15 mins.

The 1TB model operates at only 800k iops... I wish this number was a bit higher, like 1 million... for 99 dollars, I wont complain.

make sure to download their software and enable game mode if it applies to you. Noticed some gains...

Easy install into my Lenovo 5i laptop. There was a big difference from gaming on the installed 1tb ssd it came with, to installing this ssd (making it 2tb). I recommend.

Works great

I just performed my second install attempt with one of these drives. The first one I tried would only format up to 13%, then the PS5 would freeze and Id get a message to close the application. I tried booting in Safe Mode and uninstalling/reinstalling a few times but no bueno. Did a quick return via Amazon which is pretty much painless, now - you just dropped it off at a local UPS store and they scanned a code on my phone and took it from there. Amazon actually shipped the second one on the same day I submitted the old one for a return - a two day turnaround to get the replacement. Just installed the new one and it all went very smoothly. NOTE: make sure you put the little spacer UNDER the SSD - the install order is system board on the bottom, then the spacer, SSD (on top of the spacer) and then the screw. Took <1 minute to format and reported a Read speed of +6700 mb/sec. Moved my 5 games from the system drive to the new ssd in about 5 minutes. As long as you dont get a bad one, Id recommend this drive for your PS5 storage expansion - just make sure youve installed the latest PS software on your system first.

I’d loved it so much I had to buy it twice! I’ve purchased this product before for my PS5 and I highly recommended it to my brother. And he had me order him one too! He absolutely loves it.

Todo Perfecto, funciona de maravilla!!!

80 mm form factor. No issue installing in PS5. PS5 indicated 6527 Mb/sec read speed.
