> 24 hourPretty pleased. Stuff like this always makes me nervous (Im a bit of a Luddite), but instructions were easy to follow and every step was clear. It took about 25 minutes hands on time. One oddness; you cant import your saved game data onto your new drive unless the game is installed there, so you need to re download and/or disc install every program you want to import the saved game data from. Logistically, this was easy; all content Id purchased was saved in my user library, so once I set up the new drive and signed in to my Sony account it only took a couple of clicks. As you can imagine though, the downloads themselves were time consuming. Mine took about eight hours downloading in sleep mode so I let it run overnight. One minor nit with the kit itself: two of the screws securing my original PS4 drive were over-tightened, and the head of the screw driver included in the kit stripped when I tried removing them. Its a pretty cheap one time-use thing I guess. Luckily, I had a higher quality phillips head of the right size among my tools and it worked easily. Ill echo other reviewers - its important you get the correct PS4 PUP update file from the SONY website to put on the flash drive. As of 11/26/16, you need to scroll down through a lot of options before the right one shows up; its a good ways down the page. Im keeping the old drive in current state case theres a problem (the kit includes an aluminum casing to convert it to an external portable drive), but looks like everything is up and running.

> 24 hourWith other drives like the Firecuda etc really pushing the limits of write and read speeds the Venom8 claiming to be even speedier crept in past all the others (kinda like a FAMTOM DRIVE hyuck hyuck) at a more reasonable price to boot and what is claimed here seems to not just be boasting. For the price point this is a top tier M2 SSD and will give whatever you slap this puppy into the juice you want. Of course like any other M2 drives installation is fairly simple if using this on PS5 just carefully remove your plates look for the M2 installation slot, remove the lid then remove the screw which should be by default where youre going to replace it after you carefully slide the drive into its slot (after applying recommended heatsink of your preference)...replace screw and ofcourse lid and enjoy the new storage you have....its literally dummy proof. A laptop or desktop should be just as simple. Moral being this is a well priced and powerful M2 and will make whatever you place it into sore like an eagle. Recommended highly...comes in a nice package too.
