Fantom Drives 2TB NVMe Gen 4 M.2 SSD Upgrade Kit for Playstation 5 - VENOM8 PS5 Solid State Drive with Heatsink - 3D NAND TLC Internal Drive - Transfer Speed up to 7400MB/s (VM8X20-PS5)

Had to buy a heatsink separately but it was worth the money.

Great price!!! Simple install with good ps5 install video on site

I like the easy directions, it is seamless with my ps5

Just got this 1tb gen 4 nvme for my ps5 memory expansion. It came in a very sturdy tin box (beats a paper box) and with great padding for the m.2 ssd. The installation was very easy on the playstation 5. Really good for the price and it is well worth it. After installing the PS5 ssd (literally took 30 seconds), it asked me to format when I turned it on. After, it showed me how fast the drive was on the playstation. I got 6206MB/s speed. Very satisfied because I know the PS5 specs are lower than gaming pcs and when I had tested my previous nvme from WD (i had the SN850), I only got 5700MB/s on the PS5. I called fantom drives to see if they had a heatsink and they said they will be launching one in a couple weeks. tldr: better speed than the WD SN850 on PS5 with lower price. highly recommend.

Fast delivery, installation video seems easy enough.

The product comprised a cool 2TB very slim 2.5 Seagate HDD, metal housing with connection tray for re-using the old HDD removed from the PS4, SATA connection cable, an 8GB USB drive, and a mini Phillips head screw driver. There is also a set of instructions on how to replace the 2TB drive into the PS4. Please read the instructions carefully, and several times to make that the correct files are backed up in the USB drive so that one can get back all the game data when the game apps are re-installed in the new 2TB drive, or you will have to start all over again in your game journey. Here are so me things to take note of which were not covered in the instructions: 1. The drive housing in the PS4 is made for the slightly thicker Samsung 2.5 drive. The thickness is caused by the larger damped top cover of the Samsung drive, although it is technically the same form factor as the replacement Seagate drive.So when you replace with the Seagate 2 TB with the slimmer profile, you do have to align the four screw holes in place with the housing while attaching the screws. In the end, you will see a slight gap between the installed Seagate drive and the base of the housing. That is OK. Being properly aligned with the housings screw holes is critical to get the drive to slot in properly to the PS4 drive interface. 2. Not so happy with the teeny tiny screw driver provided in the kit because it has a small handle that does not handle well or exert sufficient torque to undo the main central screw in the pS4. I ended up using my own Torx head screw driver. This is the reason why I gave the product 4 instead of 5 stars.

I ran out of space on my PS5 and this drive was just what I needed. It was easy to install thanks to the directions provided. The metal cover this comes with does look intimidating with its pointed spikes in the side. But it is harmless and that jagged side helps take it off if I ever need to. The drive is fast and cold. Happy to be able to install new games at hopefully a faster speed.

Replacing the hard drive wasnt a hard task to complete, you slide the left cover off (thats on the top left when playstatiyion is laying flat on upright). What you will need to do when the new drive is installed is go to playstation.com and find the software download and install it on a USB drive it is something like ps4update.pup. Then plug in the USB into the blue 3.0 usb port,, you turn the playstation on and put it into safe mode. You hold the power button down and release it when you here 2 beeps. Once its in safemode, you will select option 6 or 7. And then the software will begin to transfer. Now you will need to back up your saved data before you attempt this, this will wipe the playstation. You will be able to use the same usb for this. After all this, 2 or 3 hours later lol you will now be able to enjoy a larger hard drive. Now is all this work worth it, if you dont want to fool with an external hard drive, with connecting it and proper disconnecting it from the playstation then yes. This product is priced right and it does come with directions thats clear and precise. I highly recommend this product, Ive had this installed for some time now and havent had the first issue with it. If any questions please connect, I dont mind the questions.

Easy installation, 2.01 Tb, 6850 speed. I recommend that for PS 5

I bought the 2Tb with heatsink for my PS5 drive version. It was really easy to install. The only thing that I actually had to look up was, which thermal pad to use. Just inserted the NVMe drive, put on the blue thermal pad, and installed the heatsink. At first, I thought the heatsink mount screw wasnt going to install, but just had to move the heatsink around till screw holes were actually lined up. Format was easy to do, and drive read speed was 6386. Reformatted again and got the same read speed. This drive is fast and worth the price, being that its just as fast or even faster than some other well-known name brands. Now if only the PS5 Wi-Fi speed could keep up when downloading my purchased games for PS4 with the PS5 version. So, I havent had a chance to play any games, yet. The only con to this is on my part, I couldnt afford the 4Tb version. As I have already said, this drive is worth it.
