Excellent option for adding storage space to PS5

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.

Does Not Fit Asus Z170-Pro Motherboard

This SSD does not fit an Asus Z170-Pro motherboard! The motherboard's single NVME slot is right next to the SATA cable connectors, and the plastic shell of this SSD's heatsink makes it LESS THAN 1mm TOO WIDE. A shame. Other than that, it's a great SSD. High capacity, high read speed. Only $10 more than the non-heatsink version, so why not go for the upgrade.

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.

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.

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.

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.

990 Pro review

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!

Be weary of online ordering! Use deliver to store!

The first one I ordered came delivered from the Best Buy returns center (but was supposed to be new), and the envelope it arrived in was smashed and scuffed as if it had been stepped on.
The inner box holding the product was also smashed but the drive itself looked ok (no visible defects).
On installation, it started throwing blue screens so I took it back to the store and initiated a replacement - which also had to be ordered; but this time I had it delivered to the store for pickup. It likely had micro-cracks or damage underneath the heatsync that was not visible to the naked eye.
The replacement I got (two weeks later) was in perfect condition and has been working great in my gaming system for over a month; no blue screens - and I got it just in time (before all the NVMe drive prices shot through the roof).

The best expansion memory storage for ps5 system, after all reviews online is safe to say that is the most reliable and easy to use memory at a great price for 4tb size. I have no complains, works great and loads games fast. Really recommended
