Customers recognize the BLACK SN850 2TB Internal SSD's significant benefits in expanding storage capacity, simplifying installation, and boosting performance, particularly for gaming consoles. Many appreciate its ease of use and the included heatsink. While some find the price high, the overwhelmingly positive feedback points to a product that delivers on its promises of improved speed and storage expansion.
This SSD worked flawlessly with my PS5, which is a model 1200, the newest version of the PS5 at the moment (January 2023.) The 1200 has a metal shield in the SSD slot instead of exposed PCB, and I found that other drives did not work when installed in this model. The SN850 worked on the first try, and I got 6524 MB/s speeds (yours may vary, but I'm quite happy with it.) The heat sink is already installed, and I just don't want to bother installing my own to save a few bucks. You do you, though.

I got this drive to expand the storage capacity on my PS5, and WOW does it work flawlessly! This is by far the best storage expansion I’ve ever purchased, and I’ve bought many an SD card, USB drive, external HDD, external SSD, etc. This thing is just insanely fast. When playing an open-world game like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, loading times have been reduced by 10 to 20% over the internal PS5 drive. These savings add up over time. The PS5 tells you how fast your drive is when you format it, and this one actually beats the internal drive. This one is clocked in excess of 6500 MB/s, which exceeds the internal drive speed rated at 5500 MB/s. This is without any updates to the firmware and without any docking with a PC (I don’t even own a PC.) It was super easy to install. Came in an appropriately padded case. Of note, the heatsink is low enough in profile that it does in fact fact inside the PS5. This was delightful news to my ears when it just worked like that. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, this is the first drive I have ever used that contained its advertised storage as usable space. The PS5 recognizes a full 2 TB of storage space available, which is a truly phenomenal leap for storage technology.

super easy to use. the estimated amount games is a little off. the newer bigger games are closer to the size of two normal games. Call of Duty is about the same size as others. It was still a great addition to space and easy to install. The external hard drives will let you play PS4 games from them but not PS5 without transferring from external to internal. That was a little bit of a chore so i went this way.
