Q: QuestionWill best buy update firmware for me? Does this come with new firmware out of box

Asked 3 years ago by Sdude.

• A:Answer This SSD does not need a firmware. But your PS5 might need an update to support this drive. I installed this SSD to my PS5 and it worked perfectly. If your PS5 is up-to-date, it should be a smooth process. If you are using this drive for a PC, your motherboard needs to support PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs. Go to the website of your motherboards manufacturer to see if it is supported.

Q: QuestionMy PS5 says this drive only reads @ 5500 (or something close to that) Is this normal since the drive itself is rated much faster? I’m aware PS5 won’t take advantage of the highest speeds possible but it should recognize it as faster than 5500 right ?

Q: QuestionI see this works great for PS5 but how is it for the desktop computers? My son keeps running through his hard drive and am looking for a bigger drive that's also good for gaming. He has an Alienware pc so is this compatible? He has a 1 TB SSD PCIe.

Asked 3 years ago by Dragonzlay.

• A:Answer Its the fastest SSD out there and so far no hiccups. Make sure the m.2 is gen 4 or it will only go half the speed. Most computers now have a generation 4 slot but its occupied by the SSD carrying Windows. It should have a second slot but many times one slot is better than the other to get the speed you're paying for.
