> 3 dayREVIEWER ABILITY LEVEL: Im someone who was a self-taught geek, comfortable with figuring out/resolving software issues in computers. Hardware has always been intimidating because oopses cost more. As for mechanically inclined? Lucky to even know what a screwdriver is. Now I am operating with a brain injury making cognitive tasks more difficult. Been installed in unit for 1 week. Installed in 1st gen PS4. In my experience process was easy. The hardware swap took less than 10 minutes start-finish. Software took 30 minutes. Downloading...think Ill be doing that for the rest of my life but I am on rural internet (think dial up and be grateful - all games say 99+ hours for update files). TIPS: Other reviewers covered most so I will cover what I did not see (as I read a LOT of the reviews): - Perform this in a clean environment so you dont get dust/fur/food crumbs inside your machine/foul connections - File you want to download title = Full Install File 5.01 from the website listed in the instructions - Follow instructions exactly and youre golden. Dont? You might need to come back & buy a new HD kit or PS4. - One reviewer said there was a gap? No gaps/seam issues in my install. My finished product looks stock. Is not. :-) - When re-installing games or update files, if like me and long download times I might suggest not running it constantly for long periods of time as it might overheat or burn out while you sleep causing the HD to fail or motherboard/other components to overheat or fail (esp. if older model). - Mine had a nice little bag for the 500 HD enclosure - Screwdriver & screws are in small bag that you have to look for (mine were in baggie for HD bag which was inside empty baggie for 500HD case - didnt find till almost end of install). CONCLUSION: 2 TB drive is running well, no issues so far. Will be nice (some day) to have all my games on there. haha Is nice to no longer have everyone go flying past me in Destiny or be throwing grenades at me angrily as I sit there with LOADING... flashing across my screen and my Fireteam saying nasty things to me. Working up the guts to crack my machine (& not fry it) took more time than actually installing the HD. The average adult can install this, even those who would define themselves as mechanically challenged. A second person might be needed but only to help find the screws if you drop them (before the cat does!) and someone has to be the first to go down once the gaming can commence. Have fun and game on!

> 3 dayI was looking for extra storage for my PS5 but I didn’t want to break my bank.Upon installing the drive and powering on my PS5 I found that everything worked flawlessly and the data transfer speeds were fast. I brought a separate heatsink, which it was cheaper for me, but still an easy install.

> 3 daySo Pros - the speed is almost as advertised; Once installed the steps are clear , they give a shell cover for the memory for PS5 and a very helpful magnetic micro philips screw driver Cons Installation instructions are useless and incorrect better to follow you tube. Overall Satisfied

> 3 dayThis SSD SINGS. Great bang for your buck and fits nicely in my ps5. Now I can get rid of my external expansion. Bonus my ps5 actually reads it as 2TB instead of some other drives that say 2TB but show up as 1.85TB. That’s a few more games to squeeze in

Greater than one weekGot this for my PS5, there are a lot of videos showing how to install a NVMe, thats not a problem. I gave it 4 stars as it comes with multiple different thermal pads and no instructions what so ever about which one to use.
