Fantom Drives 2TB NVMe Gen 4 M.2 SSD Upgrade Kit for Playstation 5 - VENOM8 PS5 Solid State Drive with Heatsink - 3D NAND TLC Internal Drive - Transfer Speed up to 7400MB/s (VM8X20-PS5)

Price was good does what it’s supposed to

Game runs better and I dont have worry about a forgetting the storage drive, above all great investment.

the kit was easy to use with clear instructions, we had no problems making the switch. new hd is working great and we are very happy! however i am taking off one star because the external hd case we got is faulty. (please note the flash drive gave us no problems, just the hd case) its a great concept and very convenient, being able to just pop in the old hard drive and have an external is great! but the external hd housing provided in our kit had a finicky connection, or some similar problem. we planned to use the old playstation hd as an external on our wiiU but had an entire afternoon and evening of frustration trying to get the hd to stay connected. it would just randomly disconnect and corrupt any data on the hd which required reformatting every time. we switched the old ps4 hd into another external casing to experiment and found that the problem lay in the casing itself. it had similar problems connecting to our laptops, the wiiU, and the ps4 regardless of which hd was installed. in the end not a huge loss since you can get a decent casing at a reasonable price, but it was kind of disappointing and frustrating that the provided equipment didnt function properly. overall still a good product though, the most important part for us (having more storage on the ps4) works flawlessly and so i would still recommend this product if you dont mind that the external case might not work.

My linux OS exactly send me one S.M.A.R.T. error each day, but I dont know if this is important or not as I have no clue about what error it is, syslog does not contains more more details: This message was generated by the smartd daemon running on: host name: thierrybo-desk DNS domain: [Empty] The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon: Device: /dev/nvme1, number of Error Log entries increased from 27 to 28 Device info: FANTOM DRIVES VENOM8, S/N:7B9F072C0D5400009949, FW:EIFM31.4, 1.00 TB For details see hosts SYSLOG.

I bought the 2Tb with heatsink for my PS5 drive version. It was really easy to install. The only thing that I actually had to look up was, which thermal pad to use. Just inserted the NVMe drive, put on the blue thermal pad, and installed the heatsink. At first, I thought the heatsink mount screw wasnt going to install, but just had to move the heatsink around till screw holes were actually lined up. Format was easy to do, and drive read speed was 6386. Reformatted again and got the same read speed. This drive is fast and worth the price, being that its just as fast or even faster than some other well-known name brands. Now if only the PS5 Wi-Fi speed could keep up when downloading my purchased games for PS4 with the PS5 version. So, I havent had a chance to play any games, yet. The only con to this is on my part, I couldnt afford the 4Tb version. As I have already said, this drive is worth it.

Product came nicely packaged, very fast and easy to install, if you are looking for a great ssd for the money check out venom
