Easy to install in the PS5. The performance is excellent, super easy to use. I still have lots of storage available!

**Pros:** - **Great Performance:** This hard drive works exceptionally well with the PS5. It significantly improved my console's performance by freeing up a lot of space. - **Easy Transfer:** I was able to easily move my games from the console’s memory to the drive without any issues. The transfer process was smooth and efficient. - **Simple Installation:** My biggest worry was installing it within my PS5, but that turned out to be super simple. The instructions were clear, and it only took a few minutes. - **Reliable Brand:** This product comes from a reputable company known for its high-quality hardware. **Cons:** - **Cost:** The only downside is the price. It is a bit on the expensive side, but considering the quality and performance, it's understandable. Good hard drives tend to cost more. **Conclusion:** All in all, this is a great product from a great company. Despite the higher price, the ease of use, performance boost, and simple installation make it worth the investment.

Does what it's supposed to. If you need extra memory for your ps5 And I'm sure most will.. its a must have. If you have any of those seagate external ssd's they can save your ps5 games on them but they can not run them you would have to copy it back on to your ps5 to play where as this ssd will save and play your games directly. It is very simple to install you can look up a youtube video and have it done within a few minutes.

I bought this drive because my PS5’s internal storage was practically empty. The installation was super easy—the only tricky part for someone new to opening up the PS5 is removing the side panel, but otherwise, it’s a breeze. Once it’s installed and formatted, the drive works great, and moving games from the main storage to the extended storage is incredibly fast. I moved a 200GB game in just one minute! If you ever feel like your PS5 is running out of space, this product is definitely worth it. It gives you plenty of room to work with, the speed is top-notch, and the installation is a simple one-time process.

Extremely easy to physically install this memory expansion. Took a couple mins to format (1-2) after that and now I've quadrupled my storage capacity. Costs less than the Firecuda and works just as well. Very happy with my purchase

This is just my personal opinion on a few things that I have noticed in the product description on the package it comes in. All though it's states for the PS5 this is a production that you should read everything on the box and even go to WD's website and research on before for you say that it will not work in a PC or Laptop as you will see in the one picture that I include of the back it states it will work depending on your operating system I have also found a lot of reviews out there on several sites saying that the product will not even work in the PS5 which is not totally correct either and with that being said this is the number one problem that a lot of people are having with it ( They don't research and read up on how to install it properly in the PS5 much less in a PC or Laptop you need to format it to the PS5 operating system which is very different to a computer), which I had to do as it does come set up to a different format at least the one I got did and that's why I said do your research on it first before trying to install it and you'll get it setup correctly. I have it installed on mine and it works. At this time I only have 3 games downloaded and installed on it which are over 60gig with more to come soon. Pros of having a 2tb SSD are the amount of storage for the bigger games,speed of the read/write and ease of install (if you research on how to do so). The only cons I found with it are the product description being incorrect and the negative reviews on other websites which will remain hidden out of respect. This is a 100% get and 100% yes to recommending to my friends who do play video games on BOTH the PS5, PC or Laptop

Super easy to install & format to your gaming system. A few quick steps; & your storage has exponentially grown. Definitely a bit on the pricey side; but you won’t have to buy twice… if done correctly.

It's really nice to have the extra storage, it's really easy to install, it also works right away when you plug your system in and keeps game memory and the game software so you don't need to delete games for other games

Got tons more space on my PS5 and wish I had purchased this upgrade sooner. Super easy installation and PS5 runs smoother with the heatsink. Feels like I bought a brand new playstation.

Needed more space than what the PS5 offered (which isn’t acceptable in my opinion). This drive had 2TB after install which will last me quite a while. Definitely worth the sale price and had a slight noticeable speed increase - 6750. Not close to the 7300 WD claims but I knew going in it wasn’t going to reach that speed. Would’ve been nice to hit over 6800 but many have stated the PS drive is slower than the speed I got so it’s a nice upgrade. The drive is super easy to install. As many have said, the trickiest part is removing the PS cover only because you don’t want to damage it. However, I didn’t find it that hard to remove. I wouldn’t pay full price for this drive though but at the price I paid it’s a great value.

I bought this SSD in Nov. 2024, reviewing in April 2026. So I can say that it has worked very well for our PS5 without any issues at all. It was so easy to install, that even THIS MOM could do it.

Tired of deleting games to make space. Get this easy to install extended memory. Easy to transfer files to as well!

Best buy had the best price online. Looked up some videos for installing SSD and was simple enough to do it myself. Now I have more than enough memory for all my games.

Easy to install & made my gaming experience much better due to there being more storage & giving me the oppertuninity to enjoy more games without the hasstle of not having enough storage

Very easy to install in the PS5, no hassle once it’s in. It also includes a built in heatsink which is mandatory if installing in a PS5. I compared multiple companies offerings of internal memory, and multiple versions of Western Digitals memory. WD stood out as the more reliable and performance oriented. Though being slightly more ($15) at the time of my purchase, this was what I considered the best since it contained 3D NAND flash memory versus older memory styles in the cheaper/older versions.

Amazing amount of space. 2TB for the price was well worth every penny. Inexpensive for that amount of storage. Easy to install.

WD black is the way to go. Heatsink is already there for you and the storage is what we all need. I got one of these so I can play the PS5 games on the console and not have to transfer my games from an external storage drive as PS5 games cannot be played from that. So now I install all the PS4 games on the external storage as they can be played from there. Western Digital has always been reliable for me and the speed is there too! I choose the WD Black every time hands down!

This is literally just a rebadged SN850x. This is one of the best pcie gen 4 drives on the market next to the 990 pro. Great drive, works as advertised. I used this in my PC, the only thing I will say is if you need to remove the heatsink it has a small thermal glue to keep the drive secured. This is a benefit for those who want the heatsink attached. For those who need to remove it, simply use a prying tool like the ifixit "jimmy" to slowly break through the glue.
