SABRENT 2TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal Extreme Performance SSD + M.2 NVMe heatsink Combo (SB-RKT4P-PSHS-2TB)

First time building a PC using this and was very easy to install. Only had issues with the BIOS settings to make sure it seen this card as an installed drive.

First one I ordered was a dud, neither PS5 or Windows PC could detect it. Replacement works fine. I doubt the heat sink is truly brand new, its got obvious signs of use, but I dont care - its a chunk of metal with a thermal pad, hidden away behind the plastic cover plate. Install was super easy. Make sure to watch a video first. You could easily miss a critical step with a spacer, or even have a hard time slotting the drive in. Speeds are comparable to the standard on-board SSD of the PS5, read speeds of my sample were around 6,000mb/s per the post format speed report. $170 for 1TB is absurd IMO, but what can you do? Over time these should get cheaper. Also, to my pleasant surprise, the console reads this nvme as a full 1tb, I was fully expecting 931gb. Youll want to expand the storage of your PS5, SSDs have limited write cycles, so you dont want to delete games very often, and the PS5 has an on-board SSD that can not be easily replaced. Make sure to register with Sabrent to get the 5 year warranty, 1 year is the standard.

Even though this isnt the fastest on the market available for PS5, its easily the best and most affordable as it not only comes with the heatsink, but the heatsink also becomes the panel door as well. You cant get easier than that. The whole process took me about 10 minutes...if that...to install. The PS5 recognized it right away, formatted it, and was ready to use it. I simply had to go into the settings and direct new PS5 downloads to go to it instead. I then loaded Spiderman onto it and then compared it to the internal drive that came pre-installed by moving it there, and honestly, I cant tell the difference. It seems just as fast as the pre-installed one.

Great product. Easy to install and the extra storage is what was needed for the PS5

Was super easy to install on my PS5. PS5 games run just as fast off this drive as the internal drive, and you can move massive files between drives in minutes. Ive also had no issues with overheating. At the time I bought it this was one of the cheapest PS5-compatible drives that came with a heatsink, and while it still wasnt cheap you definitely need the extra storage if you play a significant number of games.

I have the 1Tb. I put this in within 15 mins for my first time opening my ps5. Super quick and easy install and the read speeds for me when I put it in was 5,588Mbs. I just transferred 520 Gb of data from my main hard drive to the M.2 in 9:44 mins and that’s the fastest I have ever seen anything transfer that much data in that quick of time. So love the cover plate and heat sink attachment that came with this purchase. It was a perfect fit. I highly recommend it.
