||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is great for owners of the ps5. I love this product because I have almost unlimited amount of data on my ps5 I can download so many games easily. Basically a plug and play this thing goes in the inside part of your console very easy to install and boom your ps5 will be ready. Also I remember when I first bought the console i had downloaded like 4 -5 games and the stroage was full, Ihighly recommend this product.

Best SSD for PS5
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was planning to get 1TB but I bought 2TB instead. It is expensive but I never buy stuff on full price luckily it was on sale and got it for $314.20 dollars including the tax. Just installed it on my PS5 today and it works amazing. Transferring my games from internal storage to M.2 was fast and smooth. Overall valuable upgrade for my PS5.

Perfect for the PS5
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this drive to expand the storage capacity on my PS5, and WOW does it work flawlessly! This is by far the best storage expansion I’ve ever purchased, and I’ve bought many an SD card, USB drive, external HDD, external SSD, etc. This thing is just insanely fast. When playing an open-world game like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, loading times have been reduced by 10 to 20% over the internal PS5 drive. These savings add up over time. The PS5 tells you how fast your drive is when you format it, and this one actually beats the internal drive. This one is clocked in excess of 6500 MB/s, which exceeds the internal drive speed rated at 5500 MB/s. This is without any updates to the firmware and without any docking with a PC (I don’t even own a PC.) It was super easy to install. Came in an appropriately padded case. Of note, the heatsink is low enough in profile that it does in fact fact inside the PS5. This was delightful news to my ears when it just worked like that. Lastly and perhaps most importantly, this is the first drive I have ever used that contained its advertised storage as usable space. The PS5 recognizes a full 2 TB of storage space available, which is a truly phenomenal leap for storage technology.

The right SSD for your PS5
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This SSD worked flawlessly with my PS5, which is a model 1200, the newest version of the PS5 at the moment (January 2023.) The 1200 has a metal shield in the SSD slot instead of exposed PCB, and I found that other drives did not work when installed in this model. The SN850 worked on the first try, and I got 6524 MB/s speeds (yours may vary, but I'm quite happy with it.) The heat sink is already installed, and I just don't want to bother installing my own to save a few bucks. You do you, though.

Perfect edition to the PS5
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for my PS5. Was a snap to install, the hardest part was removing the plates since I had never done it before. Expected the inside to need a cleaning since its a launch PS5 and I probably play about 20-25 hours a week but it was surprisingly clean. Not much dust at all. Anyhow took out the screw and spacer, plugged in the SSD put back screw and plates, turned on the PS5 that immediately recognized the SSD, formatted it and was good to go. Games run the same, very quick on transfer from PS5 SSD to the WD, transfer from my external SSD which is a Samsung T7 seemed about the same. No change in noise or temp of the PS5. My PS5 always run cool and silent.

Perfect SSD expansion drive for the PS5!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ever since Mark Cerny recommended this drive, I've been eyeing to get one. The price markup for this unit is absurd with some going as high as $650-700. Thankfully Best Buy dropped this down to $315 (overnight - early morning) and was able to get it for $330 w/ taxes. The drive itself is perfect and does what it should. An added benefit is that it comes with a heatsink and so the entire install is a breeze. Just bear in mind to not over-torque the screw when installing it. Bottom line: If you have the money to spend and you can find one in stock for $350, the WD Black SN850 is a fantastic choice for expanding your PS5's storage capacity.

Q: QuestionWill this work in the ps 5? I just bought it. Store pickup on September 7th.
Asked by LeeS.
- A:Answer Yes, It is compatible with the PS5! The PS5 recognizes it and then asks to format. I installed after Sony sent out the latest PS5 OS update on 9/15/2021. All my PS5 games run just like on the internal console SSD. Lightening fast. No hassle easy peasy installation.

Q: QuestionI’ve just purchased the SSD and I’m so happy because the sales price for 2TB is simply the best just $297, thanks BestBuy. Just one question, I’ve watched a couple of videos on YouTube and they assured that this model heat a lot, is this true?
Asked by Bbjolow.
- A:Answer Mine only got loud while the new SSD was being formatted earlier today. I’ve been running it for 4 hrs now, downloading while playing a game. I haven’t heard any loud cooling noises. I’m using a horizontal stand. That may also help with air flow

Q: QuestionDoes installing this do anything to void any warranty on a ps5?

Answered by Kozydawg
Q: QuestionUpon installation is the ssd supposed to be tilting upwards before screwed into place
Asked by Tilt.
- A:Answer Yes. When you insert a NVMe drive into the M.2 socket you put it in at a 30 degree angle. The drive will stay at that 30 degree angle until you gently push down on it to screw it down.

Q: QuestionOn the BLACK SN850 2TB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4, will this allow me to add more games onto the storage memory on the PS5?
Asked by Brandondback.
- A:Answer Yes, you can use this to store and play PS4 and PS5 games that don’t fit on your PS5 internal storage.
Answered by rakkuroba
Q: QuestionCan you run PS5 games directly from this? I saw on a forum that with EXTERNAL drives, you have to move the games over to the PS5 internal storage in order to play them. Is this the same case?
Asked by Rah300.
- A:Answer This is an internal drive. PS5 games run directly from this. Games do not run from external drives. Installing the drive only takes a couple minutes.
