Fantom Drives VENOM8 2TB SSD NVMe Gen 4 M.2 2280 for PS5 Storage Expansion, Gaming PC & Laptops - Up to 7400MB/s - 3D NAND TLC 2TB M.2 (VM8X20)

works mint once installed. super easy to remove the drive and install the new one, the trick is the software update part. On the web page that the included pamphlet sends you to, there is a download option right at the top of the page for the current update. This is not the file. This file is about 300,000 kb, the file you want for the install is further down the page, nearly the bottom. The file size for this is about 800,000 kb. You also have to create a couple of folders and move the file to the folders in the included memory stick, using your own personal computer. You need to do this first before you try updating the files from the memory stick into the newly installed drive. The details of this are all included in the pamphlet and easy to follow. Once the format is righted on the stick, exactly as stated in the instructions, install is a breeze. The other pain is having to reinstall all of your game data disc by disc or from the download store as a digital file before you can install all of your saved game data from a memory stick or the cloud. Playstation really dropped the ball with the default memory of just 500 gb, especially with all these new games coming out and the gigantic worlds. Having installed this first before I ever bought or downloaded any games at all would have been the move.

Installation was fast and simple for the PS5.. drive is incredibly fast and have been extremely pleased with the purchase. Must have for your PS5!!

Just got this 1tb gen 4 nvme for my ps5 memory expansion. It came in a very sturdy tin box (beats a paper box) and with great padding for the m.2 ssd. The installation was very easy on the playstation 5. Really good for the price and it is well worth it. After installing the PS5 ssd (literally took 30 seconds), it asked me to format when I turned it on. After, it showed me how fast the drive was on the playstation. I got 6206MB/s speed. Very satisfied because I know the PS5 specs are lower than gaming pcs and when I had tested my previous nvme from WD (i had the SN850), I only got 5700MB/s on the PS5. I called fantom drives to see if they had a heatsink and they said they will be launching one in a couple weeks. tldr: better speed than the WD SN850 on PS5 with lower price. highly recommend.

Easy to install & definitely simplified my PS5 usage.

Reads data and loads games pretty fast. Easily transferred 7 games from console to the ssd within minutes.

Its does what its advertised to do. Definitely worth the purchase.

This thing came in a very nice tin package inside another tin . Very nice and nice speed time on ps5 love it . And if you write a review on there website they will send a heat sink for free . Great product great company. Definitely a must for ps5 .

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

The speeds are fast, crazy fast Mine shows 6634mb on the ps5 read test... it loads faster (very noticeable amount faster) than the factory drive... the only complaint I have is the heatsink.... my ps5 has a plastic ridge/tab by the bay screw area and this heatsink wanted to sit ontop of that instead of inside of which made it lean at a slope and the screw couldnt line up straight.... I machined mine down to fit inside like the factory door but not everyone is willing nor should they have to do that... If i were doing it all over again I would buy the standard non kit version of this 2tb drive here on amazon for $129.99 and a $16.99 Sabrent heatsink and it will be as fast or faster than a western digital black , maybe even the cuda

I bought this for my PlayStation 5 & it is 100% worth the money!
