Great solution to expanding the storage capacity of my gaming system. The price was reasonable and the product was available . I placed my order online and I was able to pick it up same. That helped because I need to storage asap to complete the project I was working on. It was easy to install and it compatibility was one of the top reasons I bought it

I bought this samsung 2tb ssd to add storage space to the playstation 5 as the stock internal ssd was running out of space. After installing the ssd in the slot and turning on the PS5 after, it will display a message to format it for optimal use. As soon as it finishes formating, it will show the read speed of the ssd. I dont remember the exact read speed of my ssd but it was around 656X. I then transferred all the installed games on the internal ssd to the samsung ssd. I had about 500 gb size of games to move, it was quick and didnt wait for much time to finish. In actual game boot up or gameplay, everything loads and starts quickly. I played/tested Resident Evil 2 Remake PS5 version and when I chose the save file to load, it only took 1 to 2 seconds for the press x to start message to appear. Everything seems to start and load faster than the internal ssd. There is a 1Tb option as well if you are looking for that size space. I am happy and satisfied with this ssd, so I highly recommend this one.

Well worth the purchase if you value performance. Read and Write speed are outstanding. Heatsink does a pretty good job of keeping cool. LED light for operating verification is nice as well if running in a desktop set up. Would highly recommend. Yes a little pricey but well worth it for today gaming and pc performance.

Performance has been noticeably faster. Boot times are quick, apps open almost instantly, and large file transfers feel a lot smoother than before. I’m not someone who sits and runs speed tests, but in everyday use the difference is obvious.

Ridiculous speeds, minimal load times on PS5. There is practically nothing wrong with how this drive performs.
However, I would not recommend this drive to someone who cannot update the firmware, which requires a PC motherboard with an M.2 slot. There was a past firmware version that caused significant drive health problems, shortening the drive’s life by years potentially. If you can’t check/update firmware, I would recommend the WD_BLACK SN850X.
All that said, however, my drive shipped with the latest firmware. It would appear that most of the problems have been resolved, but I would check the firmware to be safe.

Easy to install with fast transfer speeds; has the option to download directly to the drive. Great
Option for PS5 players. Didn't know it had an LED on it.

Great product. 6,565 average read speed on my PS5. I got the 2tb 990 pro with heatsink. It was very easy to install. Once i got it installed you just turn on your ps5 and it will immediatley ask to sync to the PS5. I then transferred (10) games from PS5 hard drive to 990 Pro SSD. After transferring the games to the 990 Pro i still have 1.4tb of memory space left on plus almost all of the 825gb on the PS5. I think i could store close to 40 games which is plenty for our family!

SAMSUNG PRO Series is the best & most reliable. The heatsink fits perfectly and helps dissipate heat. The device is fast. Most importantly, when it comes to data, reliability is the most important attribute. You get what you pay for.

Easy installation. Plenty of storage space with 2 tb.
There is no reduction in quality or performance when playing games from SSD. Overall recommend to anyone!
