Completely and beyond satisfied with my purchase because of additional storage and overall performance to my PlayStation 5. The ability to store all of my games on my console is amazing and there is no need to delete previous games when new games are added. My gaming experience has been greatly improved since the addition of the Firecuda 4T expansion card. My PlayStation has gone from good to great by increasing the value of my console and giving me the ability to make gaming a part of my life’s future. From a player of games to an experienced gamer. I would definitely recommend this product for gamers of all levels.

This drive is just as advertised. It's PS5 ready right out of the box. Is very quick and easy to install and set up. Very much so worth the cost I couldn't be happier with it.

Overall, I’m impressed. It’s probably one of the only true drives that gives you all the space it advertises, even after formatting it. The installation was simple and took less than 5 minutes. My only issue is the price. Even on sale (when I got it), it’s incredibly overpriced. However, if you plan to have a big PS5 library, I’d recommend it.

Great product! Love it! When I saw it in the best buy app I said to myself that's for me. Then, saw it at a lower price for $110 price drop so I had to get it for my PS5 disc drive version. Watched youtube on how to install it very easy video. Saw the video on seagate gaming channel. After I installed it I turned on the ps5 an yes it was everything I was hoping for. The best purchase I bought for ps5 games period.

This 4TB Nvme is significantly faster then the stock PS5 Nvme, i bought the 4TB version to be able to freely grow my library of PS5 games in the future without having to constantly delete games i havent been able to finish playing because of my work hours etc. But i am very happy with it and even though it does cost more then the PS5 console im glad i was able yo get my hands on it. I finally feel relieved that i no longer have to delete my other games as i have a total of 46 games that are mixed between PS4 and PS5 and dont want to be deleting them. We are a family of 5 and all 5 of us have different games we like to play so keeping our games saved on the ps5 is something we wanted and worh this 4TB Nvme we definitely got it. Please see the pics i have provided with my review. Another thing i noticed was that i got the entire 4TB of memory after the card was formatted by the PS5, thats a BIG deal for me as i have had SSDs that claim to be 4TB but only gave me 3.60TB which is pretty short on its advertising. So if you can honestly afford it, dont hesitate and pick one up i doubt you will regret it.

I bought this for my Playstation 5. It was simple to install and works just fine. Everything works just as fast as the original M.2 console SSD and now with 4tb of space i will not have to worry about Call of Duty taking up all the space.

Holy Crap, this SSD is the bee's knee's, it took me awhile to get ahold of one, as every time I tried to buy one, it was either sold out or available at a store, super far from me. One time luck struck though; as I was browsing to check if any where in stock, luck struck; some were in stock at a Best Buy, 30 miles away from me; of course I acted fast and now I can proudly say that I am a proud owner of a choice internal SSD.

The FireCuda 530 4TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe with Heatsink for PS5 has exceeded my expectations. The 4TB storage capacity provides ample space for games and files, and the PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe technology ensures exceptional read and write speeds. The built-in heatsink is a standout feature, ensuring optimal performance and preventing overheating. Installation was straightforward, and since then, I've noticed a significant improvement in loading times and overall responsiveness on my PS5 console. This FireCuda 530 SSD not only meets but surpasses expectations, making every gaming session smoother and more efficient. A must-have addition for any gaming enthusiast!

A great SSD solution for your PS5

12+ months later and still working well in my launch PS5! I gifted my OLD 2TB SSD (which I believe was the AORUS brand one) to my buddy and his is doing fine too. Don’t be intimidated by the setup process; just follow the FAQ on the PlayStation support website and watch a couple related YouTube videos to guide you step-by-step through it and I’m pretty sure even the LEAST “tech savvy” person imaginable COULD figure it out.
Now, there ARE “cheaper” SSD options AVAILABLE, but generally speaking, this seems to be the BEST “balance” of cost versus performance available at the 4TB threshold (or at least, it WAS when I originally bought it in July of 2023; that MAY have since CHANGED).

Prices are Still High but Worth Investment

Games are a lot bigger in size these days and unfortunately, the PS5 internal SSD is fun size and you will run out of space fast. Just reinstalled Dead Island 2 and that is 47.97 GB. These sizes are almost as big as Lizzo and with that in mind, this is a great investment. Having to redownload or copy over and over to save space can be very cumbersome.
