WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive with Heatsink - Works with Playstation 5, Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,300 MB/s - WDS200T2XHE

Very simple to install, the hardest part was getting a small enough screwdriver to open the PS5

The box advertises 7300 MB/s Read/Write; however after installing it in my PS5 it says 6363 MB/s, I suspect that is the best PlayStation 5 can handle: I would bet that in the future there will be an update and games that will need 7,300 MB/s from the SSD and this model will certainly be prepared for that time. There are certainly cheaper out there that would meet Sonys basic requirements, but in the future...

Everything is Perfect !

So I got this beauty a few months ago, and I got it in anticipation of installing it in my PS5. However, with Sony dragging its feet, I had to test it out on an external Thunderbolt enclosure instead. It is the Sabrent EC-T3NS, Amazon product ID B08FT59SB6. Even with this bottleneck, I was able to get consistent write speeds of over 1,500MB/s. For an external hard drive, that is blistering speed, considering most fast ones cap out at around 1,000MB/s. The only external hard drive I can think of thats fast now is the WD_Black D50, which costs $500 for the 1TB drive. The best part is, when the PS5 firmware update does arrive, I cant wait to test its claimed speed of 5,300MB/s write speed. I will update this review when that happens. At $230 for the 1TB version, its much faster than the Seagate option for Xbox, so thats something you should consider if youre a console gamer. And if youre a PC gamer, then you would already know about this product and how awesome it is.

Easy to install

Super easy install, ok memory for the price. Overall not bad.

Works perfect in our PS5 consoles. The 512GB is more than enough extra space for your average gamer. We use a couple basic external USB3 1TB HDD WD or Seagate for our PS4 game storage. Total now is 2TB. Game ON!

The pics tell you everything. Works as advertised and tested it by moving files and it is blazing fast. The laptop I have it installed is my main one, a ROG strix scar 15 with an intel 9i 12900h and a RTX 3070ti

Im getting R&W speeds of 3500 m/s with an RTX 3060. Im using it as my c: drive. I like it.

Great storage for my PS5. Very fast drive.
