Pros & Cons

Pros

The 4tb model reads at 5900 mb/s with that being said it's easily on par with in stock internal ps5 ssd. It's great to have the space to install all your favorites and work-in-progress platinum trophy titles, without having to juggle the very limited ...  Read More

The phison controller is better than my sabrent rocket controller. That * has been going strong for years now @ 60c. Very nice product from a cyber monday sale.

Good purchase, could be falsely advertised read speed. Crystaldisk performance is on par with advertised speeds.



Cons

This is explicitly stated its compatible for. Pretty disappointing and no where near the claimed speeds. Max i get is less than 1/2 of that (crystal diskmark) just a waste.

The other side is still connected. No feasible surface to pry it off without truly destroying the drive. Files that are present in explorer are not accessible to the program trying to reference them.

My ps5 was already crazy fast, this takes it to another level.


Gt7 also loads just as fast as the stock ssd.

Packaging/appearance


It works, it's cheap, it has a heatsink for use in the ps5.


I got the 2tb ssd, the installation process was simple with playstations video on how to install an ssd to the ps5.


It is as many other buyers have stated, the speed of this ssd is not as stated on the packaging.


I did add the aiqaede ps5 thermal dust cover to allow some heat to escape, and installed the kiwihome cooling fan - both of whi...  Read More

Competitiveness


2 drives and this one is hands down faster than the other “gen4” versions i have bought before.


Simple to install and use in a ps5.


Worked well otherwise, readily formatted making a 4tb drive.


The heat spreader on this drive keeps it cool at around 42* but then i also can't test full speed yet because this was installe...  Read More
