Got the 2TB version back in November, and has been working flawlessly since then. Install was quick and easy. As for the firmware mine came with latest one, Version EIFM 31.3, so it was just plug an play and speeds are fast, games load instantly and transfer speed are really good, so performance has been reliable so far. One thing to note is that at first the read speed was only 5548 but then when I tried again it came at 6388 so I think the way the PS5 measures speed is not accurate at least not with the latest update. If you are looking to upgrade your PS5 this is a great SSD.

this is probably the best performing 1tb ssd that's sold with the heatsink included at this price range. it takes about 2 minutes for physical installation on ps5 if you watch an instruction video. formatting was almost instant, and then it took about another 3-4 minutes to transfer 500gb of ps5 games from the stock drive to this one. all games run fine and load fine, some even feel slightly faster than before. I've had zero issues in the 3 weeks that I've been using it. everything from returnal, genshin impact, to horizon forbidden west all load as you'd expect them to or even better than they would from the stock drive.
Just buy this SSD in 2TB and look no further. Having used/tested multiple pci4 ssds in my system, found this one was:
1. The easiest to install, since it came preassembled with the heatsink 2. The coolest, idling at 31C at 20C ambient 3. The fastest in Benchmarked read (7400), write, (6850), and random IOPS (435k Read, 380k Write). This was using Samsung's Magician benchmark, as it was easy to run and should be an apples-to-apples comparison. 4. The best value at $380 for the 2TB on release.
This drive beat my previous Samsung 980 Pros (tried 2, both had heat issues and nearly melted my motherboard SSD heatsinks). It also outperforms a Sabrent Rocket 4.0 (non Plus) with a bundled heatsink; a nice looking, hefty feeling heatsink that didn't quite dissipate heat as expected due to poor contact and goopy heat tape.
No thermal throttling after an hour-long drive copy. In contrast, the Samsung 980 Pro was rated similarly and hit the advertised read/write (7000/5500) but performed worse in random IOPS and tended to thermally throttle. With that in mind, the price at $430 is just too high.
The Sabrent Rocket did ok thermally (idling at 40 and peaking at 60-70), but it's a much slower drive at 5000/3500, as it was in the first-gen of PCI4 drives. At $420, it seems like the price needs an update).
Installs easy. Works as designed. Performance? Hard to tell because while it seems marginally faster than whatever ‘console’ storage is on a PS5, I didn’t get close to what the manufacturer claims (or what some other PS5 owners claim) and I am inclined to think it’s a PS5 issue. So, it exceeded Sony requirements and when I clicked load/run times for the same game before and after moving from ‘console’ storage to this device they did seem to run faster by about 5% or so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ YMMV. Overall, if this continues to perform the same, I’m satisfied that what I paid for 1TB was worth the price.
There are several SSD models that fit the PS5, but I went with this Aorus since I’ve always had good experiences with Gigabyte. Install was super simple, and fit easily inside the PS5 with the included heat sink. Works flawlessly and games load up so much faster than the external HD I was previously using. No brained option if you’re a PS5 owner. Highly recommended!
Installed as primary drive on Gigabyte Aorus Master X570 motherboard (replacing a 5000 series SSD). Installed in slot 1 of the 3 NVNE M.2 slots available (the one closet to CPU) Wow, I am getting advertised speeds. Per CrystalDiskMark results : Read 7330.48 MB/s, Write 6882.16 MB/s. That's with a 1GIG test size "SEQ1M Q8T1" . Installed SSD using the preinstalled heat-sink. I'm impressed ---temps at idle run about 56.9 C. Intense gaming (Cyberpunk 1440 p max resolution) temps never above 70.0 C. Overall, I am very impressed.
Decent. I do wish 2TB was more affordable instead of 1TB so I'm only giving it 3 stars for Storage Capacity, and 3 Stars for Value, but overall I'd say 4 stars is fair. If you're buying it and sticking it in a PS5, it works well, runs well, and you probably won't encounter any issues with it. It's just too expensive for me to give 5 stars.
Produto comprado e enviado pela Amazon, não por terceiros ou importado. Chegou rápido e em perfeito estado. Nunca tive um ssd na vida e resolvi turbinar meu ps5, e estou impressionado com a velocidade absurda!! Funcionou perfeitamente com os 2tb certinho. Já transferi tudo do HD do ps5 pro ssd que levou apenas 7 minutos ao todo. Já estou pegando de novo os jogos de ps5 da plus que não tinha espaço pra mante-los.

Una memoria fácil de instalar en tu PlayStation 5 y funciona de maravilla. La opción de que venga con disipador de calor integrado es excelente y de mucha utilidad para así no tener que comprar uno aparte. La consola la reconoce inmediatamente luego de formatear la envía los juegos rápidamente a la nueva unidad de almacenamiento.
I picked this drive because it comes with the (required in PS5) integral heat sink. Installation is simple, takes 5 minutes. The check showed higher than required transfer speeds. An overall great add on for the PS5
