I got this SSD for the PS5 and used this heat sink which fits perfectly - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KDDK...SF6H8C93JC

I think a lot of people slept on this SSD for their PS5 because they weren't familiar with the Adata brand but I have another one of their M2 SSDs in my main PC as the main OS drive and it's still going strong after 3 years.

Quote from MadMike734 View quoted comment :
This is one of the cheapest options that meets the recommend spec for speed. There are some others that technically work, but have speeds closer to Gen 3, which may end up being a problem later if/when we get games that fully utilize the speed of the internal drive.
Agree with MadMike734, a Gen 3 1TB M.2 SSD has gone for as low as $80-100 recently. The speeds will be between 2000-3500 Reads/1500-2200 Writes. But still plenty fast for loading games...

Quote from sl6tech View quoted comment :
The heatsink included in my 1TB S70 Blade was one-sided. It can be argued if it even makes sense to have a heat sink on areas besides the controller but I also installed that MHQJRH heat sink. It worked fine so far without issue. My only issue with the drive was that it was a pain to check for firmware update. I had to put it in one of my m.2 slots to check. The ADATA software would not detect it with my USB NVME drive enclosure.
Question. You checked for a firmware update connected to your PC - before moving it to you PS5?

Is that required?

Thanks

Yeah. Jumped on the 2tb. I don't plan on looking for firmware updates unless i find some other issue that requires it. Thanks!

Doesn't the "Blade" version of this SSD include a heat sink? Is there a reason why the one included isn't sufficient?
I read that these "newish" PCIE 4.0 SSDs can run pretty hot so I didn't want to chance it with the included heat sink. The Amazon one was only $10 and fit perfectly and looked to provide better heat mitigation

My son has a Corsair MP600 core in his PS5. It tests at 5900 and works great.

Thinking about grabbing one of these for my PS5 as I'm running low on space.

I have an MSI Spatium coming for an external enclosure for my Mac
1TB is just not enough.

and the 2TB is $250. Is the performance good compared to other options for the PS5?
Yes I've been running the 2TB drive in my PS5 since beta and have had zero issues. Workes great. I paired it with a BeQuiet Heat sink.

Why would you want to replace the 1TB drive of the ps5 with a 1TB drive 😂

I think you have to be careful on what version is being discussed. This should be fast enough. Watched about 3 or 4 diff youtubers installing this with success.

got a link to comment?

Original drive is not removable. This fills an empty slot - for expanding storage.
