    I love this ssd! This thing doubled my PS5 Pros storage and now I can have double the games downloaded. It was easy to install and format, I mean it only took a couple of minutes to put in and be ready. The build quality is premium while also having great performance in that it is fast and has great durability. This ssd also has great durability and will last for years.

    Happy with my purchase. Bought 2 for 2 PS 5s. Shipping was fast. Installing was a breeze. Saved data moved in under 5 minutes and gameplay is identical. I'm glad I bought these instead of the pricer ones.

    This is an excellent drive, and I got it on sale for an excellent price. I cloned the system drive of my new gaming computer to it to use as backup in case of failure. I will repeat the cloning each month to keep it up to date.

    I purchased this SSD for expanding my PS5 drive so I could play more games without the hassle of having to delete and download every time I wanted to try a new game. A natural concern in that case is how fast the SSD will be, and if it will be able to provide a good speed for gameplay, since that definitely impacts the experience playing the game, especially multiplayer, since it could add latency that playing directly through the console's hard drive doesn't have. Well, this SSD is AMAZING and has been performing seamlessly. I have moved most my games to it (including fast-paced multiplayer shooters like Call of Duty) and it performs exactly like games I play through the console's hard drive. No latency, smooth, fast, and consistent. Another concern I had was that I had never opened my console and wasn't sure if installing this was going to be a job I was not skilled enough to do. Well, it was so easy to install it, that I've even installed other SSDs for friends too. The SSD is sturdy (I thought it might be too delicate) and it is also pretty cool looking. I know that doesn't impact how it works, and you can't see it since it's inside the PS, but it does look good. So, if you're thinking about an SSD, absolutely go for this one, and you won't be disappointed.

    I slapped this 2TB M.2 drive in my PS5 slim. It was easy to install and it came with the heatsink. From reading online its best to have a M.2 with a heatsink to install on a PS5. This will help the M.2 to perfom at top speeds even at high temps. Overall the design and performance is top tier. If I had to invest in another M.2 SSD drive I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Firecuda. 5 out of 5 stars!

    I absolutely love this upgrade! It's easy to install and works seamlessly. You'll see the extra storage and immediatly download stuff you never even thought you could lie the free monthly games from Playstation games you normally would be out of space for. I can hold huge games like GTA5, Call of Duty, NBA2K25 and more that require a lot of space. Great price! Great upgrade and great quality!

    Best SSD for PS5

    One of the fastest SSD you could put in your ps5. 2TB it’s the sweet spot for those who have a lot of unfinished games or if you had a psn extra/premium. Currently it’s the best option of other SSD because it’s fastest than the most of the other options and there’s a nice price drop on this right now.

    Reliable storage from seagate. At first I was worried when looking up the specifications if the speed was fast enought for the PS5. But you won’t be disappointed as it is a capable M.2 Drive. Would recommend for both PC and PS5
