Blazing Fast! Great for PS5!
When I bought my PlayStation 5, it was pretty clear it would need an additional SSD for storage. 2TB seemed like the best balance between capacity and cost. After doing some research, I narrowed it down to the Samsung 990 Pro and the Western Digital SN850X/SN850P Black, due to a combination of performance and brand recognition/reliability. The Western Digital was at the top of my list, because the SN850P is the officially licensed model and was said to have a heatsink specially designed for the PS5. It was slightly more expensive and slightly lower specs. The SN850X is essentially the same but not licensed for a little less money. The Samsung 990 Pro was my eventual pick, because it seemingly outperformed the WD drives across multiple testing outlets, and it was actually slightly cheaper than the licensed model. The 990 Pro did not disappoint! Zero issues after about a year of use. It is blazing fast! On the new PS5 Pro, the internal console storage took about 5 minutes to copy 600GB of data, whereas the 990 Pro did it in about 30 seconds. Insane! This drive will be relevant for gaming for at least the next few years. Buy with confidence!

Easy upgrade to T2 PS5
Have no idea why I waited so long for this upgrade. Maybe because I thought it was gonna be complicated. This was the easiest install ever. And what a difference it makes. Fastest reading and writing speeds I ever seen. Now definitely have lots of room for extra games. Definitely an upgrade needed for gamers.

Beast for the PS5
Got tired if deleting and redoenloading games and running into storage issues. I knew it was my time to make a storage upgrade for my PS5. Followed a youtube vid on the process for SSD install which was super easy. Got it done in about 5 min. Transferred almost a TB worth of data to this SSD and it took about 4 min. I can easily store 20+ PS5 games on this beast. It is a must have! Im set for years to come!
