    This works amazingly on my ps5! Almost no noticeable difference to the internal drive imo. Installed with a "be quiet" m2 cooler and everything was a breeze from formatting to transferring games over it has all been so simple and fast!

    I switched to this NVMe SSD from a HDD for my gaming PC, and I must say. I do not regret the purchase. The price might have been a bit steep but compared to another option I had, I believe it was worth it. The speeds are nice.

    Works well for PS5 once updated. Be advised, to maximize speeds for PS5, you must update SSD firmware first using an M.2 slot on a PC. This made it difficult as I did not have a PC with M.2 readily available. Best Buy tech support/Geek Squad was no help at all when I asked them to update it in the store. They did not even know what I was talking about. Frustrating!

    The best PCIe 4.0 in the market but it’s hard to appreciate how fast it is. Samsung magician makes it on par with 850 EVO, which can’t be right.

    I've used the Samsung nvme drives because they're fast and last. Went 980 pro with my latest build and happy that I did. Windows 10 load time is sub 5 secs, games (Wasteland 3, Assassins Creed) load times are in the neighborhood of 15-25% faster.

    Great for the PS5, but you need to purchase a heat sink. They run about 10-15 dollars. If you don’t get the heat sink you can feel the difference in performance.
