Legit, Fast.
This thing is blazing fast! I'm getting about 4800 MB/s read and 3900 MB/s write.I used EasUS to transfer my old 456 GB drive to this ~2TB drive and it works flawlessly. The whole process took less than an hour to complete.The old drive is now in a QWIIZLAB M.2 2230 SSD NVMe Enclosure, enclosure for super-fast transfers. I'm getting ~1000 MB/s sustained on both read/write, which is pretty close to the theoretical limitations of the USB-C's 10Gb/s transfer speed.https://a.co/d/0g4FNVYW

Seagate 2tb ssd is simply the best. Love the new look, You'll be happy with your purchase. This is the second one in our home. I bought the fire cuda for my ol hefty Ps5 and well my son installed both etc. This new and updated version he installed in his newer Ps5 model and Same great quality and speeds. Great choice and in the long run, You'll thank Seagate Gaming for thier products and your self for purchase! 2TB is the sweet spot 4me , but 4tb if U feel needed. Worth the investment. Simplified understanding with design. Easy to install...

Capacity: 2TBStyle: 530 w/ HeatsinkVerified Purchase
After researching various PCIe Gen4 SSDs for the PS5 (and discovering this drive had the most votes for "best performance" across multiple review/analysis sites) I decided to give it a shot, making sure to get the one with the included heatsink (important!) I was not disappointed, like WOW...
For full disclosure, I purchased the 2TB SSD with the included heatsink.
# Easy to install:
Sony gets points for this category as well for making it so simple to open and add/upgrade the SSD inside the PS5. We simply slid off the white cover, removed the SSD expansion door/shield, and used the already included (with the PS5) hardware to fasten the SSD into the slot. The dimensions of the SSD (including the heatsink it comes with) are a perfect match for the SSD expansion slot on the PS5. It fits like a glove (see pictures). Then it was simply a matter of closing the expansion slot, replacing the cover, and booting up the PS5!
# Setup:
As soon as the PS5 booted up, it recognized the new SSD and gave me the option to "format" it (required to set it up to recognize the PS5's file system). The formatting process took about 20 seconds and then it was done! It was ready to use. You must make sure you go into the PS5's 'Storage' settings to make sure you designate your new drive as the installation location for new games, or specific content (if you want to use it that way, of course). Or you can simply transfer files to and from the SSD expansion at your leisure.
# Performance:
While this drive claims read speeds of around 7,300MB/s your mileage may vary on the PS5. The PS5 reported around 5,700MBs - but keep in mind this is not a limitation of the SSD but the data transfer subsystem of the PS5 itself. Rest assured, it's most likely the drive is capable of up 7,300MB/s on compatible hardware, and you can sleep easy knowing that its bandwidth capabilities are well in excess of what the PS5 needs to run at peak performance.
I ran a test by copying Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (57GB of data) from the PS5 local storage to the new SSD. It took around ONE MINUTE to transfer! That's insane.
I then installed the new Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection to this storage and benchmarked the performance/load times of the game, and they were on par with the PS5's local storage, loading up an entire level in just under 2 seconds!
I've read that high performance SSDs like this one can even perform a little faster than the on-board SSD that came with the PS5, but, the performance of either drive (internal or expansion) is so fast already, the differences will be too subtle to notice. Especially on PS5 optimized games that load faster than the time it probably takes to start your stopwatch and benchmark.
# Final Thoughts
This SSD (with the included heatsink) is clearly designed with PS5 expansion in mind. If that is why you're looking at this SSD then I can strongly recommend it. It's easy to install, fits like a glove, and performs well in excess of what the PS5 requires. It has been going strong in my PS5 for 6 weeks now and I am extremely happy with this purchase.
