![Best SSD for PS5 2024 [don’t buy one before watching this]](/img/n.gif)
I just got this on prime day for $50! Gonna install it tomorrow
I recently installed the same SSD but with a $10 aftermarket heat sink. Actually I installed the 2TB version of this drive. Got it on sale for $199.
How's the performance now brother? Has it held up well? Planning to buy one
Thanks!
I bought the 2tb version for 108 USD
now the 2TB costs 80$
@@jerryx2000where?
In rich Switzerland in this shop superstore foletti. @@gosxx911
Liked and subscribed, he walked me through the insulation process nice and easy x
Thank you!!!
Great vid bro
can someone give me an update if the drives are still working ??
Just dropped a 2TB version of this into mine, and getting my machine ready for Friday, but damn, that thing runs nice.
yeah it has been great! There was some weird issues I was having the first couple weeks but that was common with all 3rd party SSD's. Sony fixed it with a firmware update.
@@PunchNpie really? What kind of issues?
There was a glitch with expansion drives where the console would go to sleep but you had to restart it to power it back on and then it would have to rebuild the database. Happened a few times until Sony released a patch to fix it.
yo how is it working so far ? is it still wokring ?
Hey man, just a question a year later, are you still using the same SSD? And if so did you keep the same heat sink or did you buy a different one?
It’s currently on sale and I never seen this brand before and was wondering if I should pick it up along side a bigger heat sink or just use it with the one included
Still using the exact same SSD with the same heat sink. But yeah, I saw they were really cheap right now, like $65. That’s a hell of a deal for this drive. If only these guys would make expansion SSD’s for the Xbox too.
@PunchNpie that's Microsoft making it tougher, so far I only know of Seagate and WD Black for X/S expansion cards.
I just bought this drive from Amazon yesterday for $55 pls tx ( 1 tb ) so it’s an even better deal now!!
My backlog is rediculous between pc/ps3/ps4/switch/vita/3ds and now I found a ps5.....Maybe it will motivate me to finally finish TW3.
lol you sound like me. I have vita and 3DS games I still never finished. I’m not even going to attempt my switch backlog. I was just buying every physical game I could for the switch for a while just to have a collection.
Great review‼️🎮
They need to uppdate the choice where to install the games on the go like when you want to install a game to ask you where to put it.
Agree but it’s actually pretty common this way. PS5, Xbox and steam on Mac, PC and Steam Deck all need to have a preset install location.
I just ordered mine today and seeing u going through this I was like let me give it a try thx u so much u got a new subscribe because I've seen others say it's been but saw more good comments about it on ps5 so I went with my gut
Hey, thank you! Yeah, it’s been a great SSD. I haven’t heard about any issues from anyone except 1 person and I told them to just exchange the drive for a new one. They had just gotten it so they were in the return window. Seemed weird to complain instead of going back to the retailer for a replacement.
@@PunchNpie it worked perfectly thx u for ur review
You are very welcome!
working until now?
I got this for $53 on Amazon today
Great video. I don't like that crappy little heatsink. I got the 2TB for $250 and bought the Sabrent PS5 Heatsink for $20. I couldn't be happier.
Also, don't get caught up in the reported speed after formatting. I did it 5 times with the same drive and got very different speeds every time. From 5800MB to 6500MB. And no drive will read at Max speed for any real length of time.
Thank you! I wish I knew about the Sabrent heat sink at the time I made this. I would have went that route too. I’m sure I can still swap it out. I was playing Spider-Man off of it and had no noticeable load time differences with fast traveling so I’m not concerned but thanks for making that point.
Question did you remove the original heat sink that came included? I bought a M.2 2280mm ssd heatsink separately can I use that instead?
You can use a different heat sink if you choose to. The one this drive comes with isn’t installed when you get it.
I heard the Sabrent heat sink doesn’t sit flush ?
Interesting, I’ll have to look into that.
I'm sold! Definitely gonna buy. Thanks!
Awesome! Enjoy!
I moved around 502 Gb right after I installed the ssid. After 7 minutes it was done so fast.
Isn’t that so satisfying seeing that much data transfer so quickly?
@@PunchNpieit really shows how obsolete HDDs are becoming. They are still great for backups/archiving of bulk data, or playback of PS4/Xbox One or older titles, but today's game data needs the fast read/write speeds.
the screw to secure the ssd is completely stuck in my ps5… bought the ssd for no reason
Heat sink 10 to 15 bucks alone and the ssd without heat sink are 150 to 240 bucks so this makes perfect sense especially if you’re on a budget great video bro
It really is the best deal out there for something reliable. Like I mentioned in the video, there are some crap options out there that are cheaper but they will fail on you. Thank you for the kind words too!
I've been using it for the last month on my PS5, and pretty happy so far.
Awesome, good to know!
Do you update the firmware on it? Been hearing people having problems with it like not functioning after few days of use
@@Zanbatoss Yes, I checked it on my PC, However the firmware was already up to date. I've heard that the packages that contain the information "Work with PS5" you dont need to concern about it.
A year later how is it?
I got a 2TB for $98 USD on Amazon.
Thanks for the video especially the installation tutorial. This drive at 2TB was on sale and your video helped convince me to pull the trigger.
You are welcome! If you have any issues, feel free to ask.
On sale where?
@@xxkrazygtaxx8412 I'm sorry I did not see this until now. It was on sale at best buy online for 100$ off.
@@xxkrazygtaxx8412 yes Best Buy, usually $80 off but the $100 is a weird sale n not often. Good luck!!
I just did the same 😅.. thanks for the video man!!
Does it still working
Have u had any overheating problems with the ssd at all over the past 10 months? Should i buy a seperate heatsink or would u recommend just using whats in the box
None at all, the heat sink works perfectly fine that it comes with
Try removing the ps4 ssd door.
This drive has a TBW of 2960TB which is like 4 TIMES most leading brands' endurance. I doubt it needs extra heatsinking based on that.
I just bought the 2tb one for £150, great video. Thanks.
You are welcome!
how's the ssd holding up.. Have you changed the heat sink.. Do you still recommend it in 2023 . I want to pick up the 2 Tb version
Yeah. Works great. Definitely recommend it. The 2TB is only like $30 more than what I paid for this drive when I bought it. Pretty amazing deal.
Bough mine off of eBay for $150. It should be in the mail today. But I heard that it was good for the PS5 so I got it.

I have the 2tb one and my ps5 isn't giving me the option to format. And a bought a heatsink for it.

Little late post but did you upgrade the firmwate of the ssd as some people say if u dont upgrade ssd firmware the ssd will brick, btw i ordered one but its made in China
Did the exact upgrade with the 1tb version. I actually did not put the cover plate back on however.
I wonder if it actually matters
@@PunchNpie right. It’s a closed chamber with the cover with no airflow supposedly. But leaving the cover on or off doesn’t effect functionality
You should put it back on if dust build-up is a huge concern. Those crevices aren't exactly easy to suck out dust from.
Is it possible to further improve thermals with adding an extra thermal pad/paste below the heat spreader ?
Installed mine today any game downloaded to the ssd gets accelerated my ps4 games load super fast and the ps5 games aswell and it took care of that stupid modern warfare glitch it’s 100% plug and play I installed heat sink before plugging in it worked well
Nice! Yeah, I did the heat sink afterwards only because I didn't want to screw up the alignment of it. I was just nervous since it was my first time doing something specific like this. That being said, obviously it doesn't matter when you put it on, just that you do put it on lol.
Really I have been having problems with modern warfare campaign on my external hard drive. I will move modern warfare to my ssd card than. Thanks.
Are you talking about how the system keeps uninstalling the multiplayer pack? If so, do you have to reinstall the game (in my case Warzone) to the new drive or just move/copy? Thanks.
@@PunchNpie I put mine on this morning but it's not on completely straight just a little bit off (the heat sink), is that going to be a problem?
A little off I don’t think will be a problem.

Its on sale for 58 for 1tb grabbing it now
It's not just cheaper than Xbox's solution isn't it also faster?
That is correct, it is significantly faster but it didn’t mean the Xbox is slow by any means.
Hi from the UK 👋 I'm looking at buying this ssd as it's currently for sale at £75 for the 1TB version, great video BTW 👍
Awesome, thats a great deal. thank you for the kind words also.
Just got a 2tb on amazon for 90$
Nice I'm getting this same one in the video the XPG but it's 2tb I'm getting it from best buy it was $300 but I got it on sale for $109 😊 can't wait
hey how is it working so far ? i have heard that their drives fail a lot and that made me scared since i built my first pc with this drive and now i am just panicking
@@thedeadman6171bruh my failed twice in a year. Im using it in my ps5. So damn disappointed tbh. Not sure i even want to get a replacement or not at this point.
@@atharvaryan52 it's been 4 months since I posted that comment, and my SSD has been working just fine I just hope it doesn't fail on me for next 6 years atleast
@@thedeadman6171 good luck man..2 SSDs failing under a year is damn horrifying if u ask me💀
i am actually love your video i am going to buy the same with 2 tb version I just want to ask if there is any problem happened to you after one year of use of this SSD ?? should I go for the 2 tb version with the same heatsink ?? please reply bro
Great video. Mine will be here tomorrow.
Thank you! Enjoy the extra storage, mine has been great.
Wait so that thin piece is the heat sink?
Yep, pretty wild how small it is
@@PunchNpie crazy I picked this up like 2 weeks ago and it said when I bought it with heat sink but I didn’t know till now that was it
@@longlivetheblackmamba2-8-24 it's more of a heat spreader, not really a heatsink
Nice! Thanks for the video. Just got one and it works slick
Awesome and you are welcome!
Thanks for the help and info!! I got the 2tb version 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice! Did you get it from Best Buy also? I see they have it on sale for $249.
I’m n the market but I think imma go 2tb firecuda or wd black jus don’t want the YOU GET WHAT U PAY FOR line later down the line
I agree 100% on the saying, “you get what you pay for”. I don’t know if it pertains to this SSD though. I shall see how it works here and how it lasts.
PinchNpie how has this SSD been, any issues?
0 issues since installing it. You know 1 bad experience out of 100 positive will always outweigh the positives.
Am planning to buy is it till running good any problem?
Or its heatsink is enough or i've to buy bulky heatsink sperately ?
monopoly for sure.....
i installed 2tb ssd but its now detectiing in my ps5 .. wht to do !! ps5 software is up to date !!
Hey, it's Megabytes per second (Mb/s), not Megabits (Mbps).
Was I referring to read/write or download? If it was read/write then you are correct and I made that slip.
@@PunchNpie yes you were but it's no big deal. Everyone makes mistakes and anyone who says they don't are full of it lol
12:52 am! you don't sleep eh? 😅
Nah, it’s over rated lol
Get mine saturday!
Nice! Enjoy the extra storage
how is it working ? is it still usable ?
My 1tb blade bricked my PS5 but works fine if removed. Hopefully they send me a new one.
Is the heatsink really any good?
Fannie Green
Before you apply the screw, is it normal for the ssd to stick upwards like that, after you put it inside the socket? Shouldn't it rest flat even before applying the screw?
That’s pretty normal, it’s spring loaded to get it in and out easily.
@@PunchNpie Thanks !
How has this SSD been, have u run into any issues this past 8 months?
Just ordered my Blade today :)
Nice!
Just got this SSD through Amazon and ready to install it. This video was very helpful, thank you!
Awesome! Glad I could help
@@PunchNpie For sure 🤙
Almost a year later… is it worth it?
@@nhlbest3129 no complaints at all 🙌
@@nhlbest3129wanna buy it?
Mine works verry good
Me too! I’m playing Spider-Man remastered off of it and it takes full advantage of the SSD.
QUESTION!!! I purchased the s70 blade and installed it with the SABRENT M.2 NVMe PS5 heatsink. (The one that looks like a surfboard) Once I started to install a game it, it would start strong for several seconds and then slow way down. I am currently trying to install the new star wars. Copying is halfway done with about 15 hours to go and then 99+ hours to finish the update files and other data needed to fully enjoy the game. Why is it running fast and then slow? I am thinking maybe it's over heating and I need to install another heatsink...Anyone have an answer for me?
Still having issues?
What size did you get? 4TB?
Hey, thanks for reaching out. I'm still having some issues. However I haven't tried installing another game yet after installing star wars. It took a very long time and the ssd card never kicked in again after the 30gb or however much it was. but the game is finished. It's is a 4TB, I used the MHQJRH M.2 2280 SSD heatsink with it and a GRAUGEAR Metal Heat Dissipation Cover. I do have slow internet, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. On a side note, I have been playing ffxvi and on a few occasions my ps5 would start to run loud and hot and then shut off, in all about 5 seconds. So frustrating when that happens.
Anyways, I'll try playing star wars first, and if that goes smoothly, then I'll try installing another game
@@SamuelNeelyit will display to different progress on the download/update section. The one that says update file is the one downloading.
Is that batman nes game in the intro
Yep! I wrote and recorded some drums and guitar and made it my own.
@@PunchNpie great job So help me understand this the new SSD card that should buy add on to the storage you already had. Or does it replace the storage with the new SD class? That's what i'm trying to understand
It adds to the existing storage you already have. So you basically will have 1.875 TB of storage after it’s installed.
@@PunchNpie Thanks bro for the quick reply. I'm definitely subscribing and I just bought 3. Terabytes between 2 hard drives for $200. Best buy
You are very welcome and I am glad I could help!
Сильно греется с радиатором в комплекте? Нужно ли докупить другой или с этим нормально?
Hi!
why everyone is closing this cover over the disk in my opinion it should not be installed, I mean the disk should not be covered, it will allow for faster removal of heat 🤔🤔🤔😳
According to Sony this is correct. If you leave the cover off the m.2 bay it throws off the airflow of the console. It need to be sealed for the console fan to move the air as intended.
@@InsightHM thank you 😊
should i throw that same ssd card in my PC?
I’m not sure yours has a gen 4 SSD slot. I will have to check.
Im going to order a 1tb version tomorrow 😭 its costing like 120$ but wd 850 is like 200$ so im gonna buy this one
Thanks for the video
how is working so far ?
@@thedeadman6171 works fine
Heard these things fry ps5s from multiple owners. Gonna grab a Samsung and not be a cheap bum
I can't get that small screw and ring out!!!
😂
Ty
You are welcome!
4:43
I just bought, in India it cost 81$ only
how is the now ? is it still working ? did you face any issues ?
It's odd. My friend bought the 1TB from best buy and it didn't work. It kept giving him the message that it's not supported. There's a best buy review of someone else having the same problem.
That’s strange. Obviously rare though. We would be hearing a lot of people saying that they were having this issue if that were the case. Obviously, you knowing someone specifically that had this happen to them makes it seem way more serious.
Maybe try a firmware update on the SSD.... You have to connect it to a PC.
Mine worked for months then stopped my ps5 from booting up. Might’ve been a PS five update that rendered this unusable. I even sent my PS five back thinking something was wrong with it turns out whenever I put this back into my SSD slot I cannot boot up my console. Take it out and it works fine. I would avoid this brand until they figure out what happened.
Wow, super weird. Mine has been working fine. Did you try erasing the drive on a computer and reinstalling it?
@@LoneAries77 could have been a rare case. Could have been a defective one. Or if you have issues with power outages at your place. It's possible it could have gotten fried or damaged if the power went out while it was in the process of downloading or installing something something.
I have the same just today and I have a question for the owner of the channel, do you need to tear off the sticker from the memory bone with the white one?
Memory bone? Sorry I’m a bit confused by your question.
@@PunchNpie
there is nothing there is a sticker and it says that this is a guarantee, how to remove it after the guarantee
No you don’t. If you remove that it voids warranty
Is your ssd still working? Mine won’t allow my ps5 to boot up anymore. I take it out, and my ps5 boots normal. Put it back in, and it just blue blinks. Can’t boot up.
Did you find a fix?
Could been defective. Or if you have power outage issues at your place. It could have gotten damaged in a power outage if was in the process of downloading or installing when power cut out.
Sorry, somehow I missed this question. I have had 0 issues with mine. I would suggest, if possible, to get a USB drive reader and hook it up to your computer and completely format the drive. You can pick them up for about $20 on Amazon. The drive is probably corrupted and the system doesn’t know what to do with it.
@@PunchNpie I agree
Same here man 😢 i don’t know what to do
I wanna get it but keep hearing terrible reviews
What review?
did you buy it ? and if you did how is it working ?
Best buy has 4.9 stars outta 5. Amazon Is sitting w5 4.6 with thousands of reviews. Which ones are you talking about being bad
Mine had 6.5 speed read
Not bad
Yeah that was pretty much mine too, right? It’s been a couple weeks now lol.
@@PunchNpie yours was aroud 6150-6200
Close enough 🤷♂️
@@PunchNpie negligible difference.
I just received the same drive in the mail today and when I opened it and installed it. It was a rip-off. The PlayStation says it can’t use it and it won’t let me do anything else. Just gives the option to turn off. Also when I opened it the heat sink was already on and it also has an extra identical heat sink which I don’t understand why it has and extra one if this video shows it only comes with one and it’s Not attached. Super strange.
Where did you get it from? Sounds like you got scammed or you bought a used drive that was defective. Hard to pinpoint your issue without seeing it for my self.
