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)

Easy Install and setup. Will buy again.

Got it installed and formatted size was 3.99tb. Installed 500gb in 6min.

As the title says I bought 2 of these for the PS5. One for me and for a gift. And Im happy to say after running them for a while I have not had any issues what so ever with this brand of M.2. Heck if the PS5 is to be correct this thing is faster then some of the other top end M.2s with the read speed. I have attached a photo showing what I got. 6300 on the read.

With other drives like the Firecuda etc really pushing the limits of write and read speeds the Venom8 claiming to be even speedier crept in past all the others (kinda like a FAMTOM DRIVE hyuck hyuck) at a more reasonable price to boot and what is claimed here seems to not just be boasting. For the price point this is a top tier M2 SSD and will give whatever you slap this puppy into the juice you want. Of course like any other M2 drives installation is fairly simple if using this on PS5 just carefully remove your plates look for the M2 installation slot, remove the lid then remove the screw which should be by default where youre going to replace it after you carefully slide the drive into its slot (after applying recommended heatsink of your preference)...replace screw and ofcourse lid and enjoy the new storage you have....its literally dummy proof. A laptop or desktop should be just as simple. Moral being this is a well priced and powerful M2 and will make whatever you place it into sore like an eagle. Recommended highly...comes in a nice package too.

My linux OS exactly send me one S.M.A.R.T. error each day, but I dont know if this is important or not as I have no clue about what error it is, syslog does not contains more more details: This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on: host name: thierrybo-desk DNS domain: [Empty] The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon: Device: /dev/nvme1, number of Error Log entries increased from 27 to 28 Device info: FANTOM DRIVES VENOM8, S/N:7B9F072C0D5400009949, FW:EIFM31.4, 1.00 TB For details see hosts SYSLOG. You can also use the smartctl utility for further investigation.

I put this in my PS5 and now it runs like a top.

Its does what its advertised to do. Definitely worth the purchase.

I like the fact that the product arrived early and it works

Worth every penny!!! Much needed. If you have a PS five super easy to install. Definitely speeds up your PlayStation Consol. Do you know any normally it would take a day download a game I downloaded the last of us, Hogwarts legacy, GTA five, and modern warfare two all in about a half a day, I’ll give this product a five star review!!!!

Perfect for ps5
