I installed this WD-BLACK 1TB SSD in my PS5 because I needed more storage, and after reading many reviews from BEST BUY and other sites. I decided to go for it because its perfect for the PS5, and its also very affordable and reliable since its WD so I highly recommend it. I've been using it for over a month and no issues and works pefect like it should, and anyone can install this.

The officially license WD Black for the PS5 really enhances my gaming experience and installing it was a complete BREEZE. Why get this? Well, I got tired of deleting games just so I could download my newest ones, so I was looking for a way to double my storage, well, look no further. This tiny, yet powerful addition to my PS5 not only does the job in doubling my storage, but once installed, the PS5 allows me to choose default installing between the stock SSD or the WD Black. A nice little option. With its dominant performance in PCMark 10’s benchmarks, this SSD is equipped with a slim form factor, complete with a Heatsink, a must for the PS5, makes it my go-to. This model has a 4-lane PCI 4.0 express set up shooting out a 96 layer TLC 3D NAND flash memory. It uses the NVMe 1.4 protocol over the PCIe 4.0 bus, and features a homegrown WD G2. Max Read is 7,000 MBPS & Write is 5,300 MBPS. It successfully copied my full Call of Duty game from stock SSD to its own SSD in minutes. Bottom line: This is a must have for any PS5 gamer looking to add more storage for their gaming at decent price. It’s super easy to install (you can find tons of videos on YouTube to help) and I highly recommend it to all my gamer friends.

I love my ps4, its a great product. I didnt think it could get any better. But when i got the the ps5 and put this in it and saw how easy it was to increase the memory and its crazy how fast it is! I now call my ps5 the millennium falcon. And absolutely wreck every child on c.o.d. making them rethink their life choices. 5 out of 5

The WD Black SN850 1TB SSD with heatsink is a high performing SSD option. With a small form factor and great build quality, this SSD looks fantastic! It is extremely easy to install and I can’t say enough about the speed!! So good! Worth every penny. The 1TB is a good option for PS5 owners looking to expand their storage. At 1TB, it more than doubles the PS5’s available space. Given the size of the games, it is worth considering the SN850 2TB, if you can find one. You’ll be extremely happy with either.
