Would not hesitate to recommend!
Easy to stall and easy enough to clone my old drive too it nice speed but someway short of the advertised speeds and this was tested using its own Speedtest software that comes with the drive temp have been good and I have had no thermal throttling even after a long gaming sessions so it is well buil
I brought this for my first full PC build and was worried about installing it however it’s so easy to install I think anyone could do it. No negatives from me at all, it’s runs at the disclosed speed and I have had no issues with storage since.
Expansion is a must for games these days and this sits nicely into the ps5 and is easy to install.
It does exactly what it says. You need this expansion in your life. If you are looking for extra space without sacrificing performance this is it. Got a PS5? Great now you can have 10-15 extra digital games. Got bored of your PS5 get it out and stick it in your PC and enjoy the extra storage. You need this extra terabyte (or 2) in your digital life.
I had been looking for a upgrade for the Playstation 5 harddrive as most know the games are huge in size when I recently found out about these.
Found a YouTube vid on how to install which took me less than only ten minutes . What is needed is a mini screwdriver set or a Phillips one to take out a couple of screws and put them back. After installation and turn the console on it will prompt you to format which is quick. My concern was how long to move the games..and it’s super fast.. Modern warfare 2 179 GIG took less than a minute or so.. very happy with this purchase.
Brought for new PS5 slim and works great straight out the box and into the playstation within 5 mins job done turn on playstation knows its there and install job done works great one of the best as i did my research
I bought it for the PS5. Easy assembly, just remove a screw, fit it and put the screw back in. The speed is quite fast, with little loading time in games. 1TB is enough for the console, it is enough for many games.
Easy to install in the PS5 following a YouTube “How-to”. Took less than 5 mins. PS5 automatically formats within a minute. Added 1TB storage for games to the existing 680GB of usable space. Games can be played directly from the drive. Or can be moved onto console storage, which typically transfers a 50GB game in around 30 seconds. I have it set to automatically download ps5 titles to the console storage and ps4 to M2. All good, no problems or crashes.
Easy to fit to the internal slot of the PS5. No mucking about. Open the PS, slot this in, fire up, system does a check and BOOM loads more internal storage. Spot on. Would recommend for use with PS5.
Went for the 2TB with heatsink for my PS5, requires a small philips screwdriver and 5 mins of your time to install. Good size memory for the price and speeds of about 6,300mb p/second give or take, so faster than the stock PS5 SSD. All in all, fully recommend
Bought this to expand the onboard storage on my PS5, and it’s turned out great.
Installation was very easy, there is an official guide that walks you through it on Sony’s website, and there’s loads of videos on youtube that show you how to do it in about 5 minutes with a screwdriver.
The performance so far has been great, with no noticeable lagging when I’m playing games. The drive is very high performance so it can easily keep up with the requirements of current games.
Purchased as an expansion for the PS5, after reviewing multiple others I went for this one.
Speed is fantastic, plays games direct with no issues. All in all very happy!
Came next day as expected, fit through mail box. Easy enough to fit, only issue was getting a decent screw driver to take out the screw in the PS. Everything running smoothly and so much better.
Really simple to attach and set up as the ps5 recognised and formatted straight away.
You can then select which drive you want to be used for certain data and don’t need to worry about having to delete data to free up space for new COD game updates. Great update and 1TB is enough for my current usage 🙂
Very very quick memory! You can waste this in a gaming pc and guarantee future proofing performance for a decade! Or if you are managing a lot of data or large sets of programming, it will call your files lightning quick! 10/10 if you have the money!
Got this M.2 yesterday and installed it today. Installed Crystal Disk Mark and it come in at 7.3gbs read and 6.7gbs write. Unreal speed. I purchased the 4TB drive and got it at a decent price. When this first came on sale it was over 800. Now Amazon have it on offer for 265. I always check Amazon first me for everything and 9.9 times outta 10 they are cheaper than everyone out there. So whatever this drive is going for now on Amazon you won’t get it cheaper anywhere else. Free delivery. And alot quicker and safer delivery than anybody else too.
Excellent NVME drive. Brought the 2TB version with hear sink. The PCI 4 drives are offering good value for money at the moment (presumably because the PCI 5 drives are coming onto the market). Only thing I didn’t like with this drive is it runs a lot hotter than my old Samsung 970 EVO plus. If I had the choice I would have gone for the Samsung 990 pro as its slightly faster and runs cooler. However as usual Samsung are asking a premium for this drive and how can they justify it being 65 more expensive than this drive with a heat sink when the gain are so marginal. Yes I know the prices are fluctuating a lot so it may not be that much difference when you read this review.
Even if you have no technical experience you will be able to install this with 5 minutes including the actual setup of the software updates and storage option for new games and apps.
There are more than plenty of you tube how to videos to help you though the included instruction information with this purchase is simple to follow.
Why a USB SSD cannot be used as for this task as it was on the PS4 is beyond me? USB SSD can only be used for storage only and not able to plug and play sadly but the WD 2TB is an acceptable option even if a little expensive it is totally worth it.
Maybe wait for Amzon to have a sale before buying this if your financial situation is like many this day and age a bit restricted for disposable funds.
I have not noticed any difference in gaming from the expansion drive than from the original drive that Sony has installed from the factory.
Overall verdict: 100% needed on every PS5 Consoles so definitely buy an expansion SSD even a 1TB will be plenty to save and install quite a few games.
Excellent product, runs perfectly and excellent customer service from Amazon.
The only issue was that I had to contact customer service to ask for a replacement. When I received the item through the post for the first time, the packaging was intact, but the seal was damaged and had been opened. Upon inspecting the contents, I discovered that the SSD was missing. Thankfully, everything has been resolved now. It’s just quite baffling to me, as I’ve never experienced something like this before.
Once I started filling the latter half of the P3 I was getting between 80-90MB/S which is about 35% LESS than I get with my old Toshiba tradition HD ….it was truly woeful 🙁
I had to return it.
But lets not forget it’s half the price, give or take, of this WD NVME.
So I returned the P3 and bought this WD.
It’s a lot faster thank God !
I moved my Steam library, 1TB worth, from my old SSD and was getting a good 500MB/s average write speed.
The temps, on a hot day with the sun burning through the window onto my PC, never got over 64C which I think is not bad. I used the heatsink supplied with my mobo so nothing fancy.
So you pays your money and get your choice !
Placed into a PS5 to expand the capacity, the speed of the drive was just below the max speed thats advertised i personally thought it would be slower to be honest however, it gets the job done.
The NVME was chunky thanks to the heatsink which is what i was after considering how hot these sticks do get and as i was placing this inside a compartment just for peace of mind i wanted to disperse the heat better which this personally does well.
Ive got one of these in my desktop which has been used for a couple of years without issue so im hoping for the same.
Took literally 2- 3 mins to transfer 150GB file over to the stick.
Overall if your looking to upgrade the storage on a system or PS5 look no further. personally would recommend the heatsink version had no issues with the 2 Ive purchased now and if my memory serves me well (which in some cases doesn’t) i believe this does come with a 5 year warranty with WD
The read speed of up to 7300 MB/s is simply mind-blowing. Games and applications load almost instantaneously, allowing me to jump into the action without any frustrating delays. It’s like having a superpower in the world of gaming. The sheer speed and responsiveness of this SSD have significantly improved my overall gaming experience.
The installation process was a breeze. The M.2 2280 form factor fits perfectly into compatible slots on my motherboard, and the included heatsink ensures that the drive remains cool even during long gaming sessions. The build quality is excellent, and the sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my system.
In terms of reliability, the WD_BLACK SN850X is a top-notch performer. I’ve been using it for several months now, and I haven’t encountered any issues. The drive is built to last, and the endurance rating ensures it can handle the demands of intensive gaming without skipping a beat.
Another great feature of this SSD is its compatibility with PCIe Gen4, which takes advantage of the latest technology to deliver unparalleled performance. It’s a future-proof investment that ensures I can make the most of my gaming rig for years to come.
One thing to note is that while this SSD is marketed as a gaming SSD, it’s also fantastic for content creators and professionals who require lightning-fast storage for their work. Whether you’re editing videos, rendering 3D graphics, or working with large datasets, the WD_BLACK SN850X will significantly improve your productivity.
Overall, I highly recommend the WD_BLACK SN850X 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe Gaming SSD to any serious gamer or power user. Its exceptional speed, reliability, and compatibility make it a worthwhile investment. With this SSD, you’ll never have to worry about storage bottlenecks or slow load times again. It’s a game-changer in every sense of the word!
The advertisements speak highly of the product and reading the reviews other purchasers gave it five stars.
I can only agree. Obviously, after reading the reviews of similar products this WD850X rated highly and I decided on this purchase. I was impressed. The packaging was substantial, it had to be as it came from Italy apparently, Goodness knows why? Reading the fitting instructions and a quick look at You tube gave me the courage to dismantle my new PS5..What a piece of cake it was, lid off, one screw removed and the new memory slotted in, reverse to secure the PS5 and that was it.
PS5 switched on, the memory was read straight away, reformatted it and gave me the speed of 6750mbs.
I transferred 75% of the games already on the hard drive of the PS5, this freed up space.
Crunch time now as I tested the speed of the reorganised games. I was impressed with the loading time of the PS5, it was a lot faster, the games ran noticeably quicker with the load times being so fast, it was all what the previous reviewers said it was.
After running it now for a few hours I can only say it is a superb bit of memory for the price.
Shop around and buy one. 10/10 and a 100% recommendation from me. 5 year warranty as well. So far I cannot fault it. DB
