Fantom Drives VENOM8 2TB SSD NVMe Gen 4 M.2 2280 for PS5 Storage Expansion, Gaming PC & Laptops - Up to 7400MB/s - 3D NAND TLC 2TB M.2 (VM8X20)

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

the kit was easy to use with clear instructions, we had no problems making the switch. new hd is working great and we are very happy! however i am taking off one star because the external hd case we got is faulty. (please note the flash drive gave us no problems, just the hd case) its a great concept and very convenient, being able to just pop in the old hard drive and have an external is great! but the external hd housing provided in our kit had a finicky connection, or some similar problem. we planned to use the old playstation hd as an external on our wiiU but had an entire afternoon and evening of frustration trying to get the hd to stay connected. it would just randomly disconnect and corrupt any data on the hd which required reformatting every time. we switched the old ps4 hd into another external casing to experiment and found that the problem lay in the casing itself. it had similar problems connecting to our laptops, the wiiU, and the ps4 regardless of which hd was installed. in the end not a huge loss since you can get a decent casing at a reasonable price, but it was kind of disappointing and frustrating that the provided equipment didnt function properly. overall still a good product though, the most important part for us (having more storage on the ps4) works flawlessly and so i would still recommend this product if you dont mind that the external case might not work.

Pretty 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.

2TB, works awesome!

First note, this doesnt come with a HEAT SINK. But it is PS5 compatible. What I like about the Venom 8 is that it is quicker than I thought.

Great packaging, well protected and very neat. Extremely easy to install, it literally took less than 5 mins to install all in the ps5. I bought a heat sink to protect the ssd’s temperature. It really transferred the 327 gb in 4 mins 35 sec. I do recommend this product.

working great

Had to buy seat sink

We werent quite sure how to install it in the beginning but once we contacted the company and they were able to walk us through it it was really easy to install. Other customer service was really friendly.

Very easy to setup
