WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive with Heatsink - Works with Playstation 5, Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,300 MB/s - WDS200T2XHE

This is currently the fasted nvme storage on the market, and is one of the only companies Ive found making the 4tb option. After formatting, I have about 3.7 tb of storage to work with. The read and write speeds were not a lie, this thing is fast. However with its high speeds comes high temps, If you do not have useable heat syncs on your motherboard, consider getting a pcie nvme kit with heat syncs to help maintain the life of your drive. I will be buying a second one when this one fills up.

This has been great for the PS5. Installation was a breeze. I’ve got 30 games on it ranging from 7gb to 155gb. I’d say you can get about 60 games on this SSD depending on their size. I like that the memory expansion is securely inside.

Like any other m.2 storage device this came with no m.2 screw and was not initialized/formatted for immediate use on a PC/laptop. So any potential buyer will need to provide their own, and Windows users planning to use this device as a secondary storage device will need to initiate the drive in the Disk Management program much like any other new in box storage device. If installing Windows on this device or using it with a console it ought to work just fine and will walk the user through setup.

Ill come out and say it: If youre buying this for gaming, youre wasting your money. Now, this is objectively true (use your powers of video searching!), but that doesnt mean this is a bad product. Not by any means.

Best for PS5

Needed more storage and this fits the bell. My pc load time is noticeably quicker than my previous drive of the same product line but older model. Install was quick.

Installé en moins de 5 minutes.

Exactly what my ps5 needed

Using on a PS5 and after formatting, the available storage capacity is exactly as advertised at 2TB. Installing the drive is very easy, and it is nice that the drive arrived with the heat sink already assembled to the drive unlike some of the other options out there. The hardest part of installing the drive is opening the console, I found Sony’s YouTube tutorial to be the most helpful guide there. I strongly recommend this to anyone looking to expand their console’s memory. Will update if I run into problems.

I bought the 2 TB model with a heatsink for my PS5. The drive itself is very easy to install once you remove the consoles faceplate.
