    Write speed not ideal, but a very good SDD for PS5

    The FireCuda 530 slips into the PS5 bay with an ever-so-satisfying click and the built-in heatsink means no messing with additional steps or accessories. After formatting the drive in the PS5, the system did give me a notice that the speed of the drive is slightly under the recommended minimum and could affect game play. I have yet to notice any playback or memory issues and am very happy with the price vs SDD size, but wanted to give others a heads-up before purchasing, installing, and formatting.

    One of the Best Buys (no pun intended) I’ve done for my PS5. Games run smoothly when installed on the external hard drive no lagging moments from what I’ve seen so far.

    This offers the best performance for a PS5 upgrade. Even if the speed doesn't matter, it has awesome durability specs. It's also nice that it comes with a heatsink so there's less hassle.

    I purchased this for my PlayStation 5 because of the read/write speeds, included heat sink, and the on sale price from Best Buy. This drive is perfect and I would highly recommend it. Installation was a breeze and took maybe three minutes. Targeting the drive from within the PS5 menus was simple, and downloaded games all play and save flawlessly. I’ve used it for over a month now and am thrilled with its performance (and the BB price didn’t hurt either!)

    Have had great experiences with other Seagate products and decided to go with the 1TB model w/ heatsink. Product arrived in two days (as quoted by Best Buy) and was undamaged. After reviewing Seagate's installation video on YouTube the SSD was easily installed in PS5. The benchmark test indicated 6539.813MB/s. More than pleased with the product and have plenty of space for the games I enjoy.

    Blazing fast storage option for PS5. Setup was super simple and took less than 10 mins. PS5 games can run directly from here which makes it a great expansion option.
