Easy upgrade for your PS5. The only tough part is removing the cover to access the SSD enclosure.

Did not achieve anywhere near the advertised operating speeds after properly installed in my PS5. Its advertised up to 7450mbs, yet my unit only achieved 6690mbs.

I bought the Samsung 990 Pro 4TB SSD from Best Buy, and it’s been amazing. The installation was super easy, and the performance boost is immediately noticeable. My PC boots up in seconds, and games load incredibly fast—no more waiting around.
The read and write speeds are just as advertised, making it perfect for gaming and productivity tasks. It also runs cool, thanks to the built-in heatsink. Samsung’s reputation for quality shows here.
Overall, I’m really happy with this SSD. If you’re looking to upgrade your system, this is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

I often use up the system storage wuick on gaming consoles but this was do easy to install (first time ever doing anything like this to a console) and it took maybe 3 minutes. Blazing transfer speeds, lots of storage room so I’ll probably be good until the next gen console comes out and i can honestly tell my games load faster and run better as the memory outperforms the standard ps5 memory capabilities. 110% would recommend to any ps5 gamer

Very fast and vast amount of storage. I have purchased several Samsung drives in the past, but this is the best one so far. Absolutely would recommend to anyone needing more internal storage.

This SSD is perfect for the PS5. It was easy to install and it provides the storage I was looking for. It frees up the internal storage while having the speed to allow me to run my PS5 games from this additional storage. I am using this in conjunction with an external drive that holds my PS4 games and they are the perfect compliment to each other.

Hands down the best SSD w/ heatsink money can buy. I bought one with 4TB to significantly expand the storage of my PS5, and it was an absolute cakewalk with the installation process. Moreover, the loading times with the games stored in this SSD was no different than the games installed within the internal PS5 storage. Impossible to go wrong with this one!

Games load and transfer much quicker than on stock drive with ps5 slim. Extremely easy to install. Worth the upgrade. 4tb was on sale, but I think msrp is too pricy, so wait for a sale.

I was running out of storage on my PC and having noticeable lagging with my standard 4 TB hard drive and 2 TB NVMe main SSD, so I upgraded the main drive to this fast 4 TB SSD. Worked great but because my PC only has one PCIe slot for an NVMe, it was more difficult to transfer the old NVMe to the new one and expand the new C: drive to use all the space in Windows 11. Free Windows backup and drive partition tools will do the job but you need to be tech savvy to do it yourself.

I’ve been using the Samsung 990 PRO 4TB for a few months now and it has been excellent. I installed it on my motherboard to add extra storage, and the large capacity has been really helpful. I use it to record my gameplay through OBS, and it handles everything smoothly with no skips or errors. File transfers are extremely fast, which makes moving large video files quick and easy. I also like that Samsung provides regular updates through the Samsung Magician software to keep the drive running at its best. Overall, this SSD has been very reliable and performs great.

4TB SSD Drive… Incredible deal during Black Friday Sale. No problems with it so far and exactly what I was expecting. Very easy to install. Installed this SSD and Disc Drive before setting up PS5 Pro with no firmware or system update issues. Kids love their new PS5 Pro with its upgrades!

Simple to install. 10/10 I purchased this to get rid of the external hard drive I had on my PS5. This internal one is worth every penny I’ve had it for almost a year now and it still runs smooth as day one. No issues with speed either.
