Works on PS5 m.2 expansion bay.
It’s been working great on my ps5. It’s been in my system since the latest SSD expansion update was released and upon installing it I got 5636 sequential read speed. Sony calls for 5500 and honestly I think anything too far above that at this point is just to brag about the brand and speed. Just a heads up everyone, we are not gaming at 8K! So this thing should be plenty of speed, I play cold war off of this along with other ps5 games and I haven’t noticed any throttling yet, I also recommend getting a heatsink that fits. May-2023 update: still working great and have not had any issues whatsoever other than the SSD memory size being too small (1 terabyte). Considering prices I would opt for the larger 2 terabyte version but the 1 terabyte version is still great for the money! ... show more

Inexpensive but great M.2!
Capacity: 500GB Style: SSD
For people writing about the speeds not working properly? Please take note: 10th gen and below Intel processors will default to 3rd generation speeds so you will see Read speeds in the 3K -4K range. This is an Intel Limitation. 11th generation and 12 Generation are the one that can run the 4th generation speeds. Additionally, you have to install the M.2 in a 4th gen slot for it to work, if you don't you will still wind up at 3rd Gen speeds. Know what you are buying, and how to use it! This M.2 works Perfectly. ... show more

Works great for PS5
Capacity: 500GB Style: SSD
Was looking at a bunch of m2 options and landed on this one since it was the cheapest and has good speeds. I got the 500 gb one since I don’t game a ton, it’s plenty of storage for me. Easy to install, just make sure you get the one without a heat sync and find one that will fit the ps5 slot. Very impressed by this product ... show more

Great SSD, will update for reliability
Almost as fast as advertised, I think other reviewers used the secondary m.2 slot. I used the cpu m.2 slot with the gigabyte's nvme cooler that came with my b660 gaming x motherboard. the ssd is very hot though, ambient is 25c, idle ssd temps sitting at 35c, reading temps sitting at 45c and writing temps at 58c. on a hot day, the idle temps were 47c, the ambient was about 32c. this is the cheapest ssd with dram that is available right now. also according to pny its rated for 1800 tbw. this is insane, even the samsung 970 pro is rated for 600 tbw. overall seems like a solid product. ... show more

It works in PS5
Capacity: 2TB Style: SSD
It works and was pretty easy to install, but the read/write speed shown on PS5 after installing is lower than the speed advertised on the box. Seems to work fine. No issues so far.

Excellent Value
Capacity: 2TB Style: SSD
I now had had the NVMe drive in my PS5 for a month now. No issues easy to install, runs fast and cool because it paired with a heat sink ( recommended ). I play on the PS5 3 to 4 hours a day 4 times a week. Moved over 150GB in about 15 mins at a rate of a little over 5600mbs. It a heck of a deal for the price. You can pay more for a faster NVMe which saves you a few minutes but why!?!? ... show more

Working great

Using Youtube videos I was able to install the SSD into my HP laptop without any issues. I also cloned my original hard disk to this drive and made it my boot drive using Reflect 8. Everything went just as expected and my laptop which had been dragging is now flying. It gave new life to this machine. I am completely satisfied with the PNY SSD. ... show more
