First off, this is a great price to performance option for upgradeable storage for your PS5, it's on par with the bigger brands in performance and undercuts the competition by quite a bit (anywhere from $30-$50). So, that's definitely a major plus, as well the fact that you don't have the hassle of having to add a heatsink since it's already preinstalled (though it's really not overly complicated, I've done so before with my previous 1TB SSD I had installed before).
Nothing too crazy, you go through the steps and everything goes together without a hitch, works perfectly fine and I've successfully tripled my storage. Definitely not running out of space anytime soon, thank god! Now, to address previous reviews docking it for not reaching the "up to 7200mb read speeds" in the PS5, just as a heads up, Sony has the PS5 bottleneck the read and write speeds with ANY SSD that can exceed the minimum 5500mb requirements to whatever the current allowable read and write speeds are. So, don't go expecting to get that 7200mb speeds at this point. It's NOT the fault of the SSD and the manufacturer, that's on Sony and the PS5 at this moment in time. The SSD works plenty fine as is regardless.
Just a heads up to anyone letting that one detail hold you up on whether to get this SSD upgrade for your PS5, it doesn't matter what speeds you can get up to it, it's what the current maximum speed is set for with the PS5 at this given moment. Highly recommend this one, especially at this price point, the convenience of use and performance. Definitely grab when you have the chance, prices have never been better for M.2 NVME SSD storage and this one trumps the majority of the competition! 👍
