Pros & Cons
Pros
This drive runs much cooler than my samsung 970 evo plus using the msi motherboard heat sink. The firecuda 530 has no overheating entries logged in smart after 1200 hours of use. This firecuda 4 tb ssd storage is enough for now but in future we need b... Read More
Everything runs great, apps and games open smoothly and without delay. After that, don’t have to do anything else. Respectable endurance. Good thing patience is a quality i possess and gladly exercise.
Although very pricy its well worth it in the long haul for serious gamers. Drive is fast and most importantly has industry leading tbw durability.
The easiest way to get the card in is to lay it flat in the compartment and slide it into the socket.
Cons
Seagate is the polar opposite experience. I wonder if the overtly positive reviews come from those who didn't test the speed and was faster than what they experienced before.
Does not post when restarting. Seems to be a compatibility issue. Told me i need to reformat the ssd or take it out and put it back in which i did and still could not format it.
Highlights
Quality
I bought this one because i wanted something that would work with the ps5 and was reliable, this one has been great so far and ... Read More
I recommend the seller and the product, it arrived quickly and exactly as described.
Reviews also showed this to be best performance for the ps5.
However, i would have gone with the crucial p5.
Price
The original price is a bit high so i can understand if some people may not want to go for it.
Packaging/appearance
Sony's unlocked the additional storage bay in the ps5 and this guy works perfectly in it.
After 3 months of owning it, i'm pretty satisfied with its performance and haven't had a hiccup in its performance on the ps5
Took less than 5min to install into the ps5.
Hardest part was getting the ps5 plates off (wasn’t really hard at all).
Competitiveness
I transferred 5 ps5 games (including 2 cod: cold war & vanguard ps5 versions) to this drive in under 7 mins.
Got this for the hubby as a bday gift since his system was running out of memory, it was easy for him to install and he hasn't ... Read More
So, i'm a little disappointed that i hear these more expensive firecuda drives.
I had a 1tb hdd barracuda drive (j) and a 3tb (k) one that i upgraded to the two 4tb firecuda drives.
