Perfect internal SSD for extra storage. Installation was easy although it does not come with an M.2 screw, which is typical. Nevertheless, great deal!

Bought for my PlayStation 5 and is working great. Easy to setup and use.

Need more storage on the PS5. This was on sale and it’s perfect. 2TB!

Unfortunately it’s still brand new In the box due to broken ssd slot it’s a little bulky and I’m not sure if that had something to do with how slot got broken

This was what i was looking for. Best buy had the best price so i bought two of them for me and a love one.

Compact and fast im using as an external drive solely for my ps4 game downloads on my ps5 with an enclosure.

More than what I expected, I would recommend it, worth it.

My title more or less says it all. This is a very good well-rounded choice if you are looking to give your PS5 a little capacity/life. As for the design, well, it looks pretty nice. Sleek. Clean. Simple. Not that you will see it. I am sure the heatsink helps with heat, probably helping performance-wise, but, honestly, I wasn’t having issues that I knew of, and just wanted this for more storage. Installation is pretty simple. Not much more than opening up the system, inserting the drive, and securing it. It should not be an issue for anyone, even for users who are technically limited. Beyond that, once installed, formatting the drive, and getting ready for use is just a button click away. Performance-wise, from what I could gather, the speeds are good, and I did not see any difference between this and the default console drive; however, at least with the PS5 (more on that later), it seems I was not hitting the rated speed of the drive. I think this has to do with the PS5 and not the drive, but honestly, I am not sure. Regardless, this is more just something to note than a complaint, as I am not seeing any real-world differences, but it would be nice to get everything out of the drive that I could. As I mentioned earlier, I was mostly just looking for more storage capacity, and, well, it has taken care of that. It is nice to have some room to play with. Ultimately, I like this drive. It gave me the space I was looking for, with good speeds, and from a quality brand. You could probably find a cheaper drive, but I like knowing I’ve got some quality chips and a nice warranty just in case. Further, while I am currently using this in my PS5, I like knowing I could toss it in my computer if a need came up. I am also fairly confident I would hit those rated speeds if I did. All in all, for all that you get, I think this is a good value.

Got tired of redownloading games or transferring them from my old HHD.

I am using the Crucial T500 with heatsink to upgrade the storage on my PS5. This M2 Gen4 NVMe is also PC compatible, but I didn't test this in a PC. So please read this as a PS5 review. I will state first that I was a little nervous upgrade my PS5. I'm comfortable with my PC and laptop upgrades, but opening my PS5 was a first for me. There are plenty of YouTube guides to help, so after watching a few I took the plunge. First the Crucial T500 looks nice, the heatsink looks to be a full body heatsink so I don't think you could remove it - so if you buy this version, make sure you want the heatsink. Crucial also do make a non-heatsink version if that's what you need. This model comes with a "Works with PS5" label and there's not much in the box other than the T500 NVMe and a leaflet that points you to the Crucial website. The box reports that the drive has a 7400MB/s speed and a 5 year warranty. That speed is FAAAASST and a 5 year warranty is more than enough for the lifespan you would get out of your PS5. After install in my PS5, I was prompted to format the T500. This took a few seconds. When I copied across games from the internal PS5 drive (Spider-Man!) to the T500 it took less than a minute. There's no real way I can independently benchmark performance on my PS5 but I find those speeds impressive - the benefits of being a Gen4 drive! Overall, I absolutely recommend the Crucial T5000 2TB drive with the integrated heatsink as it makes it 100x better than what I was considering - a drive then buying a heatsink, thermal paste, etc. If you own a PS5 filled with games and DLCs, this is a MUST buy.

This is a really nice solid state drive from Crucial. They make good products. This isn't my first Crucial drive and my others are still working fine. I also have used their memory with good results. 2TB is pretty big and should provide quite a bit of additional storage space for large games or whatever you need to store on it. It appears to be intended for ps5 users with qualifying speeds and heatsink preinstalled. However I chose to install it in my desktop pc to test it with. It says it is also compatible with desktops so I figured it should work and it does work well in it. Not really designed for laptops though since the heatsink makes it a bit bulky for many laptops. They do make one without the heatsink for slightly less money if you want one for your laptop. If you have a larger laptop it might fit but I would opt for the one without the heatsink for most laptops. Nice looking and simple style with the heatsink if you have a desktop with a window to see it. Mine has a glass side which shows the components inside. The drive doesn't have any lights on it though but it doesn't really need any. If you want lights you will probably have to pay more. Good price and Crucial quality. Fast and easy to install especially if you have an empty slot to add it to. My desktop supports four m.2 drives and this is number three and it works well.

I gave my PS4 to my son when I was able to finally get my hands on a PS5. What I didn't think about was that some of the new releases were only going to be released on the PS5. I had to delete 2-3 games when my son was given Spider-man 2 for the PS5. I was frustrated but it was the right thing to do, and I could always replay the games but once I was given the opportunity to try out the T500 from Crucial I was pretty excited. I was a little nervous about taking apart my PS5. I removed the vertical stand...not sure that I actually needed to do that now that I think about it. I pulled up a YouTube video to get instruction and taking the front cover off and the installation was very easy. You just have to shift the cover down and up. Once the cover is removed, you have to remove the memory slot cover with a phillips-head screwdriver. Once the cover is off, you'll need to remove the stability screw as well. That will be re-inserted to hold the SSD in place. Insert the SSD drive, install the stability screw, and place the memory slot cover back on as well. Put the PS5 cover on and you are good to plug everything back in. Once the PS5 is back on, you will have to format the drive...just follow the prompts. It's actually very easy. I currently don't have the ability to test the speed as other uses have, but here is what I can tell you. I play in my basement on a wireless net work. I moved all of my other games to the Crucial SSD except for my Call Of Duty game. I have played every game I have a least once or twice after moving them all to the new SSD. I have had no issue in performance, glitching, or slow down. I do not feel any extra heat coming from the system. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to expand their gaming inventory and not wanting to break the bank. Performance is excellent and the installation was pretty simple.

There's not much more to want here. This drive installs effortlessly into a PS5 and gives you plenty of storage for at least one Call of Duty update. It's one of the fastest advertised drives out there so you really shouldn't have any issues feeling like this is a built in drive. Installation is painless. Honestly, figuring out how to hold the top panel you have to remove in order to get it to slide off is the most complicated part. After that, you just insert it into the slot and screw it in and close 'er back up. Setup on the PS5 side is just as painless as the PS5 will notice you've installed a new drive and ask what to do with it right away. Then you can just select the new drive as your default install drive and you're off to the races to install whatever you want. There's not much more to say about usage. I didn't notice any sort of slowdown when using this drive. Feels just like the internal PS5 drive. The only pain point (to me) is a software thing on Sony's side where you can't select what drive you want to install to each time you install something. This is definitely no fault of Crucial and the drive works great. If you're looking to more than triple your PS5's storage capacity, you can't go very wrong with this one. It's easy to install. One of the quickest drives you can get (I haven't tested it in a PC but I'm sure it would do wonders in there as well). Not much downside here. If it's in your budget, get it.
