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)

I 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.

Price was good does what it’s supposed to

Super quick transfer speeds. Loads much quicker than from PS5 internal drive. 2nd Fantom Drives product, will not be my last.

Worked in my PS5. Was easy to install and no problems so far.

Honestly I was on the fence about buying these things because Ive never upgraded a console before but was quick and easy and finally have enough storage to download some more games without moving stuff around or deleting stuff. So far so good!

Perfect for ps5

The speeds are fast, crazy fast Mine shows 6634mb on the ps5 read test... it loads faster (very noticeable amount faster) than the factory drive... the only complaint I have is the heatsink.... my ps5 has a plastic ridge/tab by the bay screw area and this heatsink wanted to sit ontop of that instead of inside of which made it lean at a slope and the screw couldnt line up straight.... I machined mine down to fit inside like the factory door but not everyone is willing nor should they have to do that... If i were doing it all over again I would buy the standard non kit version of this 2tb drive here on amazon for $129.99 and a $16.99 Sabrent heatsink and it will be as fast or faster than a western digital black , maybe even the cuda

Runs good no issues.

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.
