Okay, if anyone is wondering if this brand is legit? Rest assured they are. They offer all sorts of storage solutions at a very affordable price tag. I've been using Silicon Power MicroSD cards for years, ever since I got my first 128GB card from them over 10 years ago. I have since given that card to my best friend for his Nintendo Switch and it still runs amazing. So yes, I can attest to the quality of Silicon Power products.
When I saw they were making NVMe drives? I had to pull the trigger, considering this is a 4TB model that I bought and usually those cost over 300 bucks to get even without a proper hest sink installed, so you're getting a good deal with this one.
Set up was easy once I opened the bottom of my PS5, however, good luck trying to get the screw and lifter that came with to come loose. It ain't happening and trust me, I tried everything. I ended up getting an alternative screw and the compatible washers, said screw will be M3-0.50 x 10 which you can find at most hardware stores.
Anyway, once I got it all set up, the drive tested itself and got a 5GB/second speed. Very impressive. It formatted as quick as Sonic the Hedgehog runs and I was off to the races. I immediately transferred all my PS5 installs to the drive and found out I had over 2.5TB worth of installs. Took a few hours to transfer but once I did? That's when the real test began.
I have been using this pretty much as a daily driver since then and performance wise? This thing is slick. I have not noticed any additional lag when compared to the PS5's internal storage at all and along with that? Load times are just as fast as well.
Overall, I'm pleased as punch with this product. I have a good feeling I'm going to be using this for a long time coming and if their MicroSD cards are anything to go on? I have nothing to worry about when it comes to this NVMe drive's durability and performance.
