SABRENT M.2 NVMe PS5 heatsink (SB-PSHS)

My startup speed going from hard drive to SSD has been astronomically different. I bet I save hours! no days if I add up how much time this has saved me the startup is literally 2seconds now plus the size for price is great ez installation if I can do it you can for sure this is amazing compared to traditional hard drive I use to have. Only regret is not buying this sooner

Thanks to Sony obviously that you can even add PS5 storage at all, but big props go to Sabrent for giving me some piece of mind that the SSD I install won’t have to live in the little sauna Sony designed for it. This is a no-brainer purchase for anyone adding PS5 storage.

I bought this for heatsink for my PS5 after seeing videos on YouTube on its ease of installation. Not only that, it also replaces the PS5 SSD bay slot cover so it works as a heatsink plus a cover. I used mine with WD SN850 SSD and the heatsink fits perfectly with PS5. What is important, some gamers found that using this exclusive PS5 heatsink dropped several temperatures even more compared to using a traditional heat sink which should help with SSD heat dissipation and prolong its life. I highly recommend this product.

Im going to keep it short and simple... BUY THIS IF YOURE UPGRADING YOUR PS5!

While this was probably overkill for the PS5 NVME drive I used, 980 Pro, the installation was stupid easy. I wont say it was worth 20 bucks, since there are plenty of cheaper heatsinks out there for NVME drives.

This is the most premium m.2 i have ever bought. I got it on sale for 200, and the performace matches the samsung 980 pro and was 30 bucks cheaper. I was immediately blown away by the packaging it comes in a copper steel case. I have literally bought a 300 dollar m.2 for my new build and it packaging cant even be compared to the sabrent m.2.

PS5 NVMe M.2 SSD Heatsink Cover Plate

Read the reviews on tech sites. This thing works. The only way to beat it is to run a standalone heatsink AND keep the little ssd cover off the ps5 but Id rather not have diat getting in there. For $20 this is the way.

So I wanted to really get some mileage on this ssd before I wrote this review and I think that over two years of daily driving is a good indicator of how it will preform. First off lets talk about Sabrent they have taken the industry by storm lately and for good reason. They have been working closely with phion to produce some of the fastest drives on the market. When I bought my first m.2 drive it was no question that it was Samsung pro was the best money could buy but over the years Samsung has really dropped the ball and Sabrent was there to pick it up. Be it speed or capacity you could have your cake and eat it as well.

Im not sure if I got a lemon or if I need to add a better cooling solution. My drive, while quick enough for tasks, shows very poor speeds in crystal disk mark. I have no idea how these other customers are getting those crazy speeds. I havent had the drive all that long and I havent abused it.
