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)

Reads data and loads games pretty fast. Easily transferred 7 games from console to the ssd within minutes.

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.

Installation was less than 5 mins and now my PS5 is at 4tb..Money well spent, love it..I have about 26 games on it and still have 3.02tb left..could definitely fit over 75 games..Buy it, u won’t regret it.

Installation was fast and simple for the PS5.. drive is incredibly fast and have been extremely pleased with the purchase. Must have for your PS5!!

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

I got this because my external drive was trash and I am super pleased! It was extremely easy to install (I was worried the heatsink wouldnt fit because of other reviews I read but I just had to use the screw that was already in my system instead of the one provided). Ive put a ton of games on it and still have A LOT of room. Playing games from it hasnt really given me any issues at all (so far), when playing Skyrim it did lag a little bit once but not sure if it is because of the drive or my mods. Hasnt had any problem overheating either (I play between 4 to 17 hours on various days). I got the 4TB option as any higher is not supported by the PS5. It is well worth the money to me. Speeds are different than advertised but nothing detrimental to it being functional.

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.

Easy to install. Nice little kit for ps5. Price wasn’t to bad compared to competitor drives. Very satisfied

So far this drive is fast and reliable. I didn’t put it in a PS5 but rather my laptop. I can actually see a speed difference.

working great
