This extra memory card is amazing. Lots of extra storage. Don’t waste your money on the $500 version with heat sync. Get this and buy your own heat sync from Amazon and do it yourself for around $350. A must have if you own PS5.

Runs like a charm and haven't had any problems since. The speed of this drive is something else and I'm sure no one would complain about it. Only gripe, and that's me being picky, is that it runs hot when it's under load.
Would buy again!

I’ve had it since september and its worked flawlessly. I added an aftermarket heatsink which is cheaper than buying the unit with one built in. Anyone that experinces any issues with theirs may need a heatsink or relocate the PS5 to s well ventliated area.

Works well, but can be difficult to install if you are a novice. Some Motherboard Mfr's are making these to be installed underneath the plastic covers on the motherboards. Read your instruction manual to determine where and how to connect them in your PC.

This is an insane SSD. If it's in your budget and you need the speed with the solid capacity, it is top of the line. Compare prices with the 980 Pro from Samsung and choose accordingly.

Good and fast fits perfectly on ps5 . Not giving 5 stars for lying on specs .. i read the specs an says it comes with heatsink but its a lie .. the only reason im keeping it it’s because i got it at a good price .. read specs and if it says heatsink included on ssd don’t be to happy u will have to buy it separately. I don’t recommend to buy this unless you don’t mind them lying to customers

Got this on sale at the time for $300. 2TB of memory and PS5 is not missing a beat. Make sure to get heat sink or a built in heat sink cover for the slot.

Blisteringly fast? Check.
High capacity? Check?
Needs a heatsink? CHECK. Seriously. Invest in a heatsink. But the drive itself is fantastic.

No complaints about this drive. Upgraded from a Samsung 970 PCI x3. I thought load times were fast before. Its INSANE. Basically you waiting for your BIOS to do its thing and you get the sign in screen. Runs hot (no heat sink) but from what I've read performance wise it doesn't matter. I will get one down the road just for GP. Bottom line, if you were looking at a new drive, I'd recommend this one over a Samsung for the price.

Very easy to install on the PS5. This version doesn’t have the heat sink so you need to purchase separately.

Got this for the PS5. Compatable and recommended. Great addition to the existing SSD. Easy install (get a heat sink for $10-15) and fast loads. Got it on sale before the PS5 update. I also have a WD external storage for my PS4 games on the 5. Great performance for both. WD is the way to go!
