Seagate Firecuda 530 M.2 NVMe Storage
Super fast Gen 4 M.2 NVMe storage. Best available at the time I was into my build. I have 5TB of available space between the 3 M.2 electronic storage cards I installed. Much better replacement for the old mechanical 7200 RPM (or slower) HDD. Lag time and search time are over by comparison.

Worth the extra cost
Very fast, stable and installation was easy. I like knowing that I have Seagate's excellent recovery warranty if anything goes wrong.

Great addition to the PS5, no storage worries!
I purchased this to expand the space in my PS5. Unfortunately, the internal SSD that's built into the system isn't that large. It's approximately 850GB and you can fill that up quite quickly considering the OS for the PS5 etc eats up quite a bit of space. Then add on a few games and those games add-ons and the space dwindles quickly. I already had a 8TB for my PS4 games moving from a PS4 and a PS4 Pro. PS5 games are quite large these days and many gaming studios no longer take the time to compress them. I wanted the 4TB but it was a little out of my budget so I settled for the 2TB. I'm the type I like to put the largest capacity disk in my console so I get some longevity out of it even when the next-gen comes out. I coupled this SSD with the Sabrent Heatsink for PS5 Consoles since it's the heatsink and cover all in one. I notice a negligible difference but I know my games load like they're screaming. You literally can't blink and it's already up and ready to run. It also moves games over super fast. I now don't have to make the decision of deleting something because I lack space. And even though the PS5 is backward compatible with PS4 games, you can only play PS5 games from the SSD's. (i.e. I could move some PS5 games over when I ran out of space, but if I wanted to play them I had to move them back to the internal SSD) I know you may be thinking well why is it so expensive? I wondered the same I looked up some detailed reviews and decided to go with the FireCuda because of its longevity and 5yr warranty. If you look at other drives in this category and similar they don't have the ability to be overwritten for the length this does. If you can remember far back enough, when SSD's first released that was the biggest issue that kept many from switching to them. The overwrite lengths back then were short and the drives were even MORE expensive than they are now. My, how times have changed.
