    Had no problems installing this in my PS5, just followed videos online, and didn’t rush the screwing process.
    Was very fortunate for delaying the purchase of this 1TB version, as it was then discounted from 139.99 to 99.99.
    I only needed 1TB as I don’t play too often.

    Bought this after watching a fb advert tbh. But it works really well. Very easy to fit and I have chucked loads of games on my ps5 and still have plenty of room for more. I bought this version over the competitors as it was the one licenced by ps5. I can’t recommend it over others but works very well and I’m happy with it.

    used this on my ps5 and it’s a game changer as i can now download so many games and have fast loading times. the only thing is the price is a bit high for what it is but all the rest are similar anyway so can’t get it any cheaper. would recommend.

    Bought this when it was on offer because the prices of these are ridiculous even today.

    No idea why Sony cheaped out when making the PS5 with its bog standard 825gb of storage even when the console is set up ready to go you actually only have about 637gb left, regardless I now have a full 2tb storage and it was extremely easy to install.

    After sone research, I found this is at the time (2022) one of the best performing SSD storage devices for PS5. I would definitely recommend anything from 2TB upwards, as the PS5 is known for not having much memory especially if you’ve come from PS4. Saved games really do take up a load of space (Call of Duty), so it’s key you buy a fairly large SSD so it’s future proof.

    Installing the SSD is fairly easy. I highly recommend watching some of the install content on YouTube before attempting to avoid any issues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for enhancing PS5 internal storage

    It’s amazing how easy it is to install and format quickly. If you prepare a cross screwdriver in advance and watch a video on YouTube, there is an official video directly from them, so you have it in two minutes. It works fantastically.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAs easy to install as it can be – plenty of ‘how to’ videos on the tube of you and it took me about 2 minutes start to finish once it was clear in my mind what needed doing. Fiddliest bit for me was taking the case off and putting it back on but with care it clicks back into place quite easily – just don’t force it.

    Super fast access and I store everything on it – downloads and saves. I think it might even be better than the original storage for speed and certainly for size.

    Makes saving games on your ps5 easier with more storage space

    Totally straightforward installation, up and running immediately. PS5 now has more than double the storage space. All good.

    Does the job, inbuild heatsink is a great time saver. A bit on the expensive side though.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThe reason I got the one terabyte version of this is because I didn’t really need 2 TB. This stands up just in loading times compared with say a firecuda it seems having faster SSDs by a few hundred mb’s does not really matter differences with minimal, and sometimes this drive was even faster. Who knows maybe the firmware is more tuned for gaming somehow if that’s possible. Also, even though it’s a 96 layer, it doesn’t seem to suffer in load and game speeds versus the 176 layer versions. The one terabyte is also single sided so will run cooler and there’s more space in the M.2 slot especially in the new 12 series PS5 which I have, as there’s no circuit board in the slot. You’re not going to really notice the difference between the Firecuda or the seagate gaming M.2 (Firecuda in blue and black with gaming firmware) really as on the tests I’ve seen on YouTube they all seem to load pretty much the same, so a 96 layer versus 176 layer with a couple of hundred more megabits per second won’t make any difference in your perception or the loading of your games or the running of them, also I like the fact that this has been tested with for the PS5 so if anything does go wrong at least you’re using the one that’s approved by Sony so they can’t say it wasn’t compatible. Also if you reset your PS5 all your games stay on the M.2 so you don’t lose anything which surprised me, it gives you the option to wipe the drive after reinstalling but you don’t have to so literally all your games and saves will stay on the drive. I think 2 TB is a bit of an overkill for my useage because I don’t plan to keep the every game I have on the drive and most PS5 games are a lot smaller than the PS4 ones. They’re kind of average around 70 GB compared with well over 100GB for most of the PS4 ones, a one terabyte should hold 9 games I think which is more than enough for my needs but the 2tb is great value and at the time of writing this is 199. So no sign of lag after hours of use, and there might possibly be firmware differences although I don’t know if that’s true or not, between the SN850X and this SN850 PS5 model. It also says SN850 PS5 in the menu, so it’s definitely been programmed with something for the PS5 whether it’s just a name or they’ve tweaked the firmware to make it better for gaming better rather than it just being a normal drive, rather like CCTV CMR spinning hard hard drives that have firmware to help not drop frames per second and are designed to run for incredibly long hours as they run 24/7, compared with a normal SMR hard drives in a computer. So who knows about the real or perceived firmware differences, but enjoy your gaming knowing its been tested for 300 hours with the ps5 no matter what size you get.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersA great product and a must for any PS5 gamer. Why go for 1TB when you can have 2TB. There is just one slot for this in the PS5 so get the right one first time. It is easy to install and gives full freedom when installing and playing PS5 games

    Well worth the expense as it’s officially licensed product.
    Really easy to install and if needed there’s a video’s on YouTube on how to do it, takes less than 5mins to do.
    Has really great read/write speeds too, can’t fault it been using for couple weeks now no problems.

    Highly recommend it.

    Well worth the expense for the 2tb version.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe only reasons you’d want to buy this should be (a) you like official/branded stuff for 100% compatibility or (b) it is cheap on a deal. Otherwise the normal WD SN850/850X with heatsink or not is very much the same SSD.

    Naturally this is TLC NAND with DRAM cache (1GB?) and PCIe4 x4 lane connection.

    You can also toggle 4k LBA (preferred) or 512-byte (default) when secure erasing / provisioning.

    Performance is naturally stellar, with 7GB/s read and 6.5GB/s write and thus exceeded PS5 requirements. Do note that there may be firmware updates to apply in a PC before you install it in a PS5. Naturally you can use it in a PC and use the WD software to change the RGB LED light.

    I am normally a Samsung SSD guy, but this WD seems to slightly beat even the Samsung 980 Pro which is no mean feat.

    Only negative is that you may wish you bought the 2GB… or even 4GB one ;))

    Wanted to buy this as my PS5 hard drive is nearly full.
    Easy to install(just look on youtube) but just take care in opening your PS5.
    This expansion card is an add on hard drive which is slotted and screwed into place and is an extra hard drive card on top of the built in hard drive on the PS5.
    I use this expansion card to only save PS5 games and I also have an external hard drive connected to the PS5 to only save PS4 game.
    It’s a lot of money buy when on sale ,you won’t regret your purchase.

    Brukar anvnda WD i datorn och nu ven i PS5:an. Ville gra det enkelt fr mig s drfr kpte jag den hr fr att den r certifierad fr Playstation, fast den var lite dyrare och “ldre”. Har aldrig haft problem med WD frut s det var ett givet kp.
    Den fungerar som frvntat och kommer att fortstta gra det.
    Enkel och snabb installation, var igng p ngra minuter.
    Sknt att slippa avinstallera och installera p grund av platsbrist!

    This was installed on our PS5 to increase internal storage as we already had an external usb drive but not all games would run from it.

    Relatively easy to install ( but I’ve built and upgraded pcs since my first 286 machine do it doesn’t worry me opening up a machine). The only thing I would say is make sure you have the right size screwdriver and look up the instructions on the PlayStation site before you start.

    Having installed it the console recognised that the extra storage was there and we are happily loading and playing games from it now.

    A little expensive but we felt it was worth it.
