Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very fast only regret not getting one sooner works great for my games and some programs that run games like steam epic ect
I would recommend this to a friendYou’re better off getting the standard 980 Pro
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall performance was about 5500mb, which is something that i wound not expect from a SSD that is already overpriced. I ended up going for the standard 980 Pro along with the Sabrent PS5 M.2 heatsink. That performed well over 6000mb, so I wonder if Samsung rushed the heatsink model into the market without testing its performance. Plus the standard costed significantly less than the heatsink model. Overall, I would avoid this SSD if you plan on using it on your PS5.

Yes, it's fast but....
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Magician software doesn't recognize the drive. Samsung advised me to install their drivers. Sadly, their driver install program doesn't see it. Oh, the data migration software doesn't see it either. Although the BIOS sees it and I can install windows, it is pretty much invisible to Samsung software. Magician keeps nagging me to update firmware but the drive isn't visible in the update tab. Sad face.... My 970 EVO plus is looking better all the time.

Great Upgrade for PS5
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink is a great NVMe M.2 solid state drive (SSD) that meets all of Sony’s requirements to upgrade the internal storage of the PS5. Sony states that the drive that you use in your PS5 should have a heat sink attached to it for effective heat dissipation. There are only a handful of NVMe M.2 SSD’s that have the integrated heat sink. The Samsung 980 Pro w/heatsink is one of them. Following the PS5 installation guide, I was able to install the drive in about 10 minutes. It fit perfectly in the PS5 SSD expansion slot, and the PS5 recognized and formatted the drive right away after startup. The PS5 indicated read speed of the drive was around 6500 MB/s. I transferred a few hundred GB of games to the new drive and transfer times were fast. I played a few games from the Samsung drive and load times were fast (equivalent or better than the integrated internal drive). I played several hours of Ratchet & Clank from the Samsung 980 Pro with no issues. One thing to keep in mind is that the drive may not come with the latest firmware. In order to get advertised speeds from the Samsung 980 Pro, the firmware must be updated to the latest version prior to installation in the PS5. In order to update the firmware, you will need to install the Samsung 980 Pro in a secondary M.2 NVMe slot of your desktop PC and use the Samsung Magician software to update the firmware. I did not have a secondary M.2 NVMe slot in my PC, so I used an alternate method to update the firmware to the latest version….1.) I purchased an external USB NVMe M.2 enclosure; 2.) I formatted the Samsung 980 Pro with my PC after installation into the external USB enclosure; 3.) I then cloned my NVMe M.2 SSD that was in the only slot of my PC to the Samsung 980 Pro using Macrium Reflect; 4.) I then swapped my existing M.2 SSD with the Samsung 980 Pro, booted up my PC, and updated the firmware with Samsung Magician; 5.) I then swapped the drives back out and installed the Samsung 980 Pro into the PS5. Note: You cannot update the firmware directly from an external USB NVMe M.2 enclosure because it will not be recognized by Samsung Magician, but if you use the method detailed above, it will work. It would have been nice if the drive had shipped with the latest firmware. I would imagine that some folks do not have the means or knowledge to update it. Other than this, the Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink is great, and I would highly recommend it if you are looking to expand the internal storage capabilities of your PS5.

Underperforming
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speed on the Ps5 just over 5300. Cannot update firmware because I have a Mac and can only download Samsung Magician on PC, although not sure it would have made a significant boost. The added heat sink doesn’t justify the price. The firecuda gives me 6700.

No more deleting games on the PS5!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this SSD to put in my PS5 for extra storage. The installation was very easy and simple. I love that it has a built in heat sync due to the confined space that it will be in inside the console. Upon installing the SSD the PS5 prompted to format and setup. After that the SSD was ready to go. The console did a speed test after installation and clocked the SSD at 6178 MB/s! This thing is wicked and fast and 100% up for the task! Another thing that I noticed when I installed it is that the actual usable storage is at exactly 1TB not under. Which is great to get everything you paid for. This is the perfect SSD for the PS5 speed, size, and cooling. No more deleting games!
I would recommend this to a friendWorking great in PS5
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what i needed for ps4 and ps5 games on my ps5. If you're heavy into newer ps5 games, may need to look at getting a 2tb over 1tb
I would recommend this to a friendMust have if you’re running out if space!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to install for sure. If you’re like me and you don’t play a lot but don’t like deleting your games, you’ll definitely need it!

Usual Samsung with a critical flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t buy this for your PS5 because it needs an update in order for it to reach the advertised speeds which is not disclosed on the package anywhere. The WD Black SN850 is absolutely the way to go here. If you use this for a Pc I’m sure it will update on its own, but it’s inconvenient as heck.
