ADATA - XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB Internal PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280 Solid State Drive with Heat Sink

Working as intended 6100 speed at this price really no reason to spend 80-100 extra for a WD or 980 especially for the PS5.

Hope this don’t happen to you. I got this drive delivered and when i opened it, it already had the a heat sink attached plus it came with an extra heat sink.... which it should NOT according to all the videos I have seen on the SSD. Also the box says the heat sink requires assembly.... and last but not least, the drive don’t work. My PlayStation says it can’t use the drive and only gives the option to turn off.... So Disappointed. I’m sure it’s a manufacturer error and not the Store but still so disappointed.

Initially I was looking at either the Samsung 980 Pro or the Western Digital SN850 as my expansion storage for ps5, but then I stumbled across this drive. I’ve used ADATA SSDs in the past with mixed results, but after seeing the specs and the fact it came with a heat sink that fit within Sony’s dimensions, for the price ($145 at the time of purchase) I had to give it a chance. Well long story short is that this is the best value ps5 expansion option. Period. Unlike many drives out there, including some of ADATA’s own drives, you get access to the full 1TB drive space. Compare this to Ps5’s internal 825GB drive that only affords you 667GB of usable storage (even less after reserved space for essential system files). Or the 2TB SX8200 Pro I’m using in my own pc at the moment which is in reality only 1.82TB. This means more storage for your money. After a very quick 2 minute installation, I booted my ps5 up and formatted the SSD. Rated speed was about 6200MB/s which isn’t maxing out PCIe gen 4, but exceeds the 5500MB/s Sony requirement. No issues with temperatures thanks to the included heat sink, which makes this thing an even better value than it’s competition. I was worried 1TB wouldn’t be enough for my needs but thanks to Sony’s proprietary file compression, I was able to install my entire PS Plus library with half the drive to spare still. 2TB would’ve been absolutely overkill for my needs. All in all, if you find this drive for $150 or less you should definitely pick it up.

Installs in minutes, speeds as advertised. Not sure why people would spend more money on a different one. Very happy with this purchase.

Bought it to add to my PS5. It fits perfectly, super fast and no issues so far. Load times are indistinguishable to the internal SSD. PS5 told me the read speed was around 6200 Mb/s which is less than advertised. But it's over the minimum by 700 and in real world usage I'm not seeing any slowdown. Plus it comes with a warranty...so should be good to go!

I purchased this as a storage upgrade for my disk PS5; getting the casing off was honestly more work than the installation of the drive. My only small critique is that there were no instructions to install the heat sync but it was easy enough to figure out. So far no issues with the system performance or using it as the primary storage.

Perfect match for my PS5. I bought this and added it to the PS5 storage. Since there’s two m.2 slots, I did not have to remove any currently installed hardware. The shell is easy to take off the PS5. Making this purchase worth it with a breeze if an install. Now I have almost 2TB for game storage internally! Will be getting another for my wife’s PS5 as well. Bonus that it comes with the heat sink for this price

Bought this to expand the internal storage of a PS5. This was one of the cheapest compatible options and comes with a thin heatsink that fits perfectly under the drive cover without modification. PS5 benchmarked mine at about 6400MB/s which is above the 5500MB/s recommendation, so barring a total failure or thermal degradation, I expect this to be good for the life of the console.
