Picked this up to upgrade my PS5, and I'm am very happy with my purchase. You do have to get a 3rd party heatsink, but you can find a quality one on amazon for 12-20 bucks. I got it through the black Friday sale so between that and the heatsink I came out spending 80 bucks less than the same version of this ssd with the integrated heatsink. Since the PS5 requires a gen 4 ssd options are a little limited, but this should be one of your tip choices.

Easy Install and Easy to set up. My hdd has had a lot of stress on it so I order this ssd I put it is and transfer some of my big files on it and it ran with ease. My compute has ran much faster and crashs almost never happen.

Wickedly fast. If you have a system that fully supports PCIe 4.0 and run applications that require fast read/write, you can't find a better option. It can get hot as many other reviewers noted, but so far with a motherboard-supplied heatsink I haven't had any throttling issue. My processing times are more than halved after switching.

Decided to get this over the Samsung 980 pro due to reports that you needed to update Samsung in a PC to unlock higher speeds. Paired the WD Black SN850 1TB with a basic low profile heatsink to fit in the PS5. Works perfectly and has a read speed over 6500. Plays PS5 games perfectly and transfer games so quickly. Very happy with my decision.
