WD_BLACK 2TB SN850 NVMe SSD for PS5 Consoles Solid State Drive with Heatsink - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 2280, Up to 7,000 MB/s - WDBBKW0020BBK-WRSN

This is so easy to install! Slides in and you hear a “click” then you just screw it down. If you’re having your doubts, don’t! It works and it’s super easy to use! Totally worth it!

Kept an eye on the price for a while and finally dipped down to $160, worth every penny. Partnering directly with Sony to have an actual video tutorial made the install process a quick and easy 5 minutes.

Easy installation

Great Drive, Easy to install if you watch YT videos and fast Drive too. well worth the money I paid. I dont install many games but that means I will have space for a while and dont have to uninstall games.

Im a pretty avid gamer (old school as I still remember when memory cards were to save game saves and not used for storing entire games) and I waited to get an SSD for the Ps5 because I didnt want to spend so much money for memory I figured I could just delete as I went on. Well the time finally came when my backlog grew and then PS Plus added downloadable older games so I didnt want to waste time anymore downloading 100 GB newer games so I caved and the following are my impressions of this particular brand of SSD: Pros: -Its an officially licensed SSD by Sony -Its faster than the supposed better one IGN recommended the speed is shown when you initially format it (the samsung SSD was giving users read speeds of around 5000 and this one reaches 7k even though an important thing you should keep in mind is that the PS5 is capped at around 7k so it will not allow an SSD to reach the crazy numbers you see on the internet those speeds are for PC users who use it) -No issue formatting Cons - Its overpriced like every other SSD out there, it boggles my mind why a memory expansion is this expensive but I guess its still that shiny new piece of tech that will eventually be cheaper once the next big thing is announced -No matter what people tell me Ill never admit that its easy to install this. Theres one big issue with having to put this in and thats the ugly amount of pressure you have to put on your side plates to get them off. Its ridiculous that they made it this cumbersome I highly recommend a youtube video. If you do it yourself you WILL scratch the inside of your Ps5 trust me. -Theres an LED light that becomes useless for PS5 since its hidden So yea, sorry if I sound jaded but overall it does what it needs to do and I recommend this over the others because of the write speed but Im jaded because these things are too expensive and I dont blame you if you decide to just wait it out for a cheaper choice thats an official one or just keep deleting those games if it works for you

Good

Loved how easy it was to install and right away gets detected by the PS5 on start up , no downsides . Sucks that it isn’t visible because it it sleek

Easy installation and great performance. Highly recommend.

If you want to have a library of more than a few AAA games on your PS5, you need a SSD. The quality of life improvement is huge. A quick YouTube video and you can install this in 5 minutes. You can find cheaper SSDs but I prefer not to buy off-brand for an essential part or deal with potential firmware issues.

I spent months trying to decide which card to get for my console and this by far was the best price I could find for the amount of space included. It was extremely easy to install after watching just one video on how to open the console itself. Havent had a chance to test the drive fully but it moved content very fast.
