So I bought my 1st PS5 earlier this month, model 12xx and I got this at 1TB with heatsink cover. Took me longer to install cuz my first time trying to take off the PS5 cover, and it does go in easily. However, I just noticed watching install videos(after I already put in mine), the little spacer on my PS5 does not go in to the PCB board like on all the videos, mine is different, it sits on top of all the holes on the PCB, so as soon as I unscrew it there is no way it stays in place by itself. What I did was stick the little screw driver through the spacer and into the PCB hole, slide the SSD in slot, use the screw driver then to pry/nudge the SSD into the slot, very gently, cuz fat fingers, again, gently take out the screw driver so the spacer stays in place to align screw. Put the rest together, formatted through PS5 1 time, showing 65xx mb/s and 1.02TBs free space.

First one I ordered was a dud, neither PS5 or Windows PC could detect it. Replacement works fine.I doubt the heat sink is truly brand new, it's got obvious signs of use, but I don't care - it's a chunk of metal with a thermal pad, hidden away behind the plastic cover plate.Install was super easy. Make sure to watch a video first. You could easily miss a critical step with a spacer, or even have a hard time slotting the drive in.Speeds are comparable to the standard on-board SSD of the PS5, read speeds of my sample were around 6,000mb/s per the post format speed report.$170 for 1TB is absurd IMO, but what can you do? Over time these should get cheaper. Also, to my pleasant surprise, the console reads this nvme as a full 1tb, I was fully expecting 931gb.You'll want to expand the storage of your PS5, SSD's have limited write cycles, so you don't want to delete games very often, and the PS5 has an on-board SSD that can not be easily replaced.Make sure to register with Sabrent to get the 5 year warranty, 1 year is the standard.

Works and allows me extra storage. You can even allocate ps4 and ps5 games to your main or this extra chip.

Still rocking this one in my PS5, the speeds were even higher than advertised. And at the time there was no others that could match it, let alone for the price. The heat sink is great, would definitely have loved to get another for my PC, but with the prices of all ssds atm that might have to wait.

I would have rated this all 5 stars but I see an issue coming if I ever decide to remove this SSD. You have to mount the SSD by inserting in the slot and screwing it down on top of the spacer as directed. The heat sink has the thermal pad already installed on the side that faces down toward the SSD. You peel the strip off before you install the heat sink over the SSD and install it. I don't see a way to ever take that heat sink back off to get to the SSD because the Heat Sink is now adhered to the SSD. There will be no access to the screw holding the SSD down since the heat sink is longer than the SSD. The only way to remove the heat sink would be to rip the thermal pad away that is adhered to the SSD and Heat Sink. This would be very risky and could damage the PS5. In hindsight, I regret installing this because this is what I will be facing if I decide I want to upgrade to a larger SSD later. The 2TB SSD seems to perform exactly as described but the design flaw should be addressed in the very near future. Shipping was very fast and the SSD is great so far.

Tons of options available when looking to upgrade your internal memory storage for the PS5, but many of those options can be very pricey at the 1TB range (and even more astronomical for a 2TB), but this Sabrent 1tB storage had a great price point of right around $100, and the performance is top notch. Comes with an included heat sink to keep things running smoothly and installation was a breeze; literally took me 5 minutes tops. The performance so far has been A-1 - I cannot tell the difference between playing games from the internal PS5 storage versus this memory stick. No hesitations whatsoever in recommending this for your PS5 storage upgrade
