Pros

I'm satisfied that what i paid for 1tb was worth the price. This thing is a beast don’t be fooled by more expensive options. Also got it on sale 190 bucks vs 250 bucks on the other brands.

Installation is easy, you get a great read speed that's imperceptible to the internal storage. I am no tech guru and install was simple. Extremely easy and straightforward installing process.

Comes with heat sink which is nice and probably saves you 10 to 20 dollars. Haven't had any issues with it and so far no over heating issues either.



Cons

They advertise a 7,000 read speed. Installed the 1tb version in my ps5, the read speed is only 5433. Less than 5500 recommended by sony for ps5 console.

Packaging/appearance


The side panel gave me more issue to get off the ps5 than the card did to install.


Dropped this into the ps5 and away we went.

Competitiveness


Read speed is about the same as the competitors and write speed is just as fast or faster.


I installed it on a ps5 and i pretty much have most of the games on the ssd and they run really fast.


One thing is when you turn your ps5 back on, leave any external drives disconnected till after you’ve formatted this drive and ...  Read More
