Works for PS5 if you have the Beta 2.0 system software. FYI Your expansion slot is not turned on if your not part of the the Beta or until the public version is released. The more popular and more expensive brands were sold out. I didnt want those anyway but was a little concerned I might miss some important spec requirements if I went with a non officially approved brand. This PNY met all the specs so I gave it a shot. Im glad I did as I got a $550 solution for $300. The more expensive brands were 7000 MB per sec this one is just over 5600 (min 5500) and it works great, If your looking for a less expensive option this is the key. It is installed, running and has 1TB of games loaded on it in my system right now. Works flawlessly! You will need to get your own heatsink. I used MHQJRH for a perfect fit.

Since the price is the same for the version without the heatsink, I would think it'd be more advantageous to get the version with the heatsink in case you can use the heatsink else where.
The heatsink can be removed by unscrewing a few screws.
