XPG ADATA GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2TB PCIe Gen4x4 M.2 2280 SSD 3D Graphics Processing High-End Gaming PC PS5 with or w/o heatsink,Solid State Drive

Great purchase at a very fair price, for what is one of the faster 1tb ssds available for under £200. Ordered and the surprisingly small pack arrived around 3 days later. Not to bad for this time of yearTook around 5 mins to strip down, install and rebuild the ps5. The (tiny) drive was easy to fit and sat in snuggly.The supplied blade heat shield was straight forward to add on, with no confusion over the direction or placement of the sticky pad, which felt secure, covering the main controller and memory chipsBooted up and the quick test was showing read speeds over 6 200 mbs. Which is pretty much around the current ps5 internal limit. As far as I understandOverall a great drive, no issues and would recommend (the fact the drive shows as the full 1tb in the ps5, was an added bonus)

Updated review to include my experience after many many months of regular use testing and a lot of playing directly from the SSD recently!I got this to get more memory for my PS5. And My PS5 has more memory now! 😱Easy to install, even for someone who hates to fiddle with tech like me.⬆️ 6203 MB/s transfer rate showed for meWhich means I can swap games back and forth from console storage to The Blade in next to no time which is just incredibly handy, a real quality of life upgrade.Updated my review because I've recently been playing a lot of God of War which I'd had installed since getting the console, but had not got round to playing, and just noticed yesterday that I've actually been playing it directly from the the Gammix SSD that i'd only been using to move games around to free storage space on the console previously. NOW THE IMPORTANT QUESTION! How has it coped? Well, It's working a treat, it hasn't overheated even in the hot weather after many hours of Godly combat and at least 40,000 instances of the words "Boy!" And "I do not know" have passed without it stuttering even once. This experience is from when I hadn't even noticed I was playing the game from the Gammix storage, so it's speed is obviously still going strong now for load times and smooth gameplay. I've since carried on playing direct from the he SSD with full confidence, as it would seem silly to swap it back to console storage now I'm nearly finished with the game.So games do play perfectly from it, it's just as fast, if not faster than the internal SSD. And weirdly my PS5 runs cooler with this in use rather than the internal SSD!(The added storage is installed right by the massive air intake corner, so maybe this is why)P.S I did install the heatsink, but after I'd taken the photo and I didn't want to open it back up just to take another pictureIf like me, you need more memory for an ever expanding digital catalogue because Sony tricked you into going digital by selling out of Disc Edition Consoles over and over again, and you need more space, and you hate deleting and redownloading games, then this is perfect. It really is 👍If you want to play for a good few hours non stop from your added SSD storage, then as I've discovered that clearly works too! 😁Just don't forget to hydrate if you are playing for a long time...And blink 👀Updated my review from 4 stars to 5 stars as it's served me well ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This ssd is great with the PS5. Buying from Amazon with the 13% discount put it just under £300 pounds. I bought the x box series x storage which was only 1 TB and cost £230 when it first came out. So I don’t think the price is that bad considering you get 2TB. I believe that this ssd is the one of the fastest and not the most expensive compared to the other brands. It’s very easy to install. The hardest part I found was taking the ps5 cover off. The ssd has a heat sink with it. You basically have tape that comes of the heat sink then goes onto the ssd card. I would suggest that you fit the ssd into the ps5. Straight forward u tube has many guides so can not go wrong. Then once ssd is in the slot. Take the tape off and stick the heat sink to the surface if the ssd. Job done.Then restart the ps5 and you are promoted to format the new ssd. That’s it basically 2 TB more space. Well worth it. I moved 3 games from the main ps5 hard drive to the new ssd. Very quick to transfer over. Spider-Man miles MORALES/ASSASSINS CREED VALHALLA/ BLACK OPS COLD WAR. Over 300MB game size. Took a few minutes to transfer over. From playing the games from the new ssd I feel it may even be a bit quicker that the main ps5 SSD. I would make the purchase and not sit on the fence. I have a feeling that once there stock has gone. It will probably like getting a ps5 very hard.

I bought this 2TB SSD after watching a video about the brand on YouTube. It seemed to have a lot of positive feedback on there plus the reviews on here were very positive as well. I was impressed with the price as it had a voucher which brought it down to a more manageable £289.22 instead of £340.26. It took me less than 5 minutes to install the SSD (which also comes with a heatsink) into the PlayStation 5 and after an initial format, it was fully functional within another minute or so. Transfering games is effortless and fairly quick, depending on the size of the game. I purposely filled it with as many games as possible to see if there was any slow down or problems but I can say that's there's no drop in performance. Overall I can highly recommend this SSD for its price, ease of installation and it's as quick as the internal SSD.
