[@Stardust51]

@Syrup Sweater The SSD model shown in the video is TLC with SLC caching and has DRAM, so it's the best you're gonna get. Cheaper drives will use QLC and exclude DRAM and will not last as long. If you want longevity, look for TLC and DRAM. They will be much faster as well

[@skins4thewin]

It's probably a non-issue, but I do kind of wish the heatsink were just a tad smaller to allow more room for airflow around it. The heatsink basically takes up the entirety of the room underneath the SSD plate, not leaving much room for airflow. I would probably recommend going in & blowing out the dust around the heatsink every once in a while just to be safe, like at least maybe once a year or so. It can definitely build up in there over time & there isn't a lot of room in there as it is.

[@DraconDWanderer]

It does run on negative pressure to make up for the airflow issue. Still you make a valid point

It's cool, pun intended. PS5 is very complicated and full of misleading features (faster load times mean by half at most, not lightning fast/near instant, and the ps1 games have save states/rewind at the cost of ps3 manuals/prices though it does transfer for legend of dragoon or wild arms 1 and 2), so it helps to be sorted out rather than learn the hard way that those haptics/triggers don't work is because microphone isn't set to auto mute upon startup. And even then it's primarily random bumps (I felt it more in an RE4 remake cutscene where the other guy is thrown against the wall than when I parry him with my knife) and lock-ons for the triggers. It's nice that SDD is cheaper than buying a competitor system nowadays.

[@neoinuyashafight]

Be cautious when installing an m.2 storage expansion in the ps5! The way the expansion slot completely covers your ssd, not allowing for sufficient cooling, has been significantly shorting their life spans. My Firecuda 530 only lasted 8 months before dying. It just gets too damn hot in there!

[@wakaneut]

Would you think not covering it would help?

[@neoinuyashafight]

@Wakane Yes, leaving the cover off would definitely help with lowering the temp a few degrees. The only thing thing about that is the placement of the slot itself is bad cause it's right near the intake fan. So if you leave the cover off, you now risk dust build up in the expansion slot. I guess if you leave the cover off, just make sure to clean dust out every few days.

[@kkjhn41]

Leaving the cover off would be a disaster. The PS5 uses a negative pressure cooling design of which the cover for the expansion bay is an important component. Which is why Sony stresses using both a heatsink and the bay cover. There is more than just the SSD being cooled in the PS5 and all of the components work together to achieve this. @@neoinuyashafight

Funnily in the UK this SSD is actually more expensive than the recommended Western Digital one. £108.78 vs £94.98 and both come with the heatsink. I am a bit dubious of buying what is probably some random Chinese brand though, just to save money. For instance as good as £130 sounds for a 2tb drive with heatsink, I have never heard of Addlink, so not sure I would risk it. The Western Digital has dropped in price significantly recently, and is only £30 or so more. When you are on a budget, taking a risk with an unknown brand on something these prices I just think its better to save up a lil more and go with the more recognised brands with great feedback.

[@kkjhn41]

Random Chinese brand? Nextorage was a division of Sony begun in about 2018 to make an SSD for the then under development PS5. Sony later decided not to manufacture their own SSDs and sold the division to Phison the company responsible for the PS50-E18 controller chip used in every high end "recognized" SSD made. This SSD was designed by Sony engineers specifically for the PS5, these engineers remained on board when Phison bought the division.

I have the same ssd for about 2 months now its worked fine and I've had no problems with it

[@JEFFKINGS]

Just installed mine today, I was glad to see the sale price was still valid

[@Unaliq]

Huh, the price shot up to 200 dollars... strange...

[@mrkevinhaughey]

I'm literally looking at it right now and it's $89.99 and the MSRP is only $125 so I have a hard time believing it was $280+ at any time.

[@EMPTYor]

There are a lot cheaper m.2 on aliexpress that can reach 6500 mb/s read speed for 1TB 56$ but I don’t know about their reliability

Hi John, is there a channel like yours but for Xbox?

[@emadstarns291]

1 Tb 2TB isn’t enough storage I’m waiting for the 8TB or higher storage I don’t care if I pay $1000 I’m so glad I got the Xbox series X and PC and Steam Deck not just a PS5 that has the lowest storage ever 600 gb is a joke it’s just like the PS4 the worst internal storage console Sony needs to work on making consoles with more storage

This is important!

[@colarmstrong57]

@@UpInYourGrills yep cos it's okay buying cheap only to then find out years or months even down the line the storage ends up corrupt or whatever, which has happened to me with 'cheaper' sd memory sticks and not a very nice experience to go though 👏🏽

That's why I go for recognazables brands when it comes to storage even if they cost more, reliability is important when it comes to storage

I rather pay more for a product from a reputable brand like Samsung or Firecuda, which have years of r&d into their products than some no name Chinese brand🤷‍♂️

[@m4sterm12]

I understand that sentiment, but all of your save files are saved to the cloud so if it does die you lose nothing really. Just redownload the games when the better options get cheaper anyways.

[@TheRealConflictedGaming]

@@m4sterm12 except if you get 2 years out of a 85$ one and need to replace it you would have been better off buying the 125$ name brand one that’s got the reputation of lasting years and years

Hello I want to ask you when you put ps5 In rest mode and while downloading a game, does a slight sound come out or not (Like when it's off)

[@CMJFTW]

I just got a PS5 console a few weeks ago. I might need to buy this.

[@redseagaming7832]

I got the WD 2 terabyte model. I'm really happy. I can have most of my PS5 games installed instead of most of them on the shelf. Till I want to play them again and I have to wait for them to be installed again.

[@geoffreyberry1160]

Great Video! Was wondering if thre was any deifference with name brands. What about build quality? Are name brands going to last longer?

[@xclusiv602]

I just picked up a wd black sn850 2 tb for 160 at Best Buy a couple weeks ago. No regrets. Great deal

[@kingschill23]

Good price if you aren't patient or need something quick and nothings on sale. You can usually find the wd black and other similar ones on sale for close to the same price, especially around black friday, but probably still 10-20 more. Would be interesting to see if this goes on sale ever and for how much

[@ryanreynolds6235]

Love it literally just filled my ps5 storage so I'll ne grabbing one

[@grimhunter2223]

I've had it for 1 year and I can tell you that it works great 💯 highly recommend

[@Timmzy27]

Neat, I generally play 1 game at a time and just delete it after I’ve beat it before downloading my next game, but it’s nice to know cheap storage are available

[@BlendingWithHenry]

I have this exact one, the Nextorage. I bought the 2TB on Amazon during Christmas time. Dang I paid $210 for mine and now it's only $160. Ah well no regrets. It serves the purpose.

[@atomspar]

When you installed it, did you notice a gap between the connection side to the terminal? I just installed mine today and it seems fine but I'm just paranoid about that gap I saw

[@nastyalanwk00_]

Thank you for the tip

[@kevinltb]

Thank you for such a great deal!

[@TheMadricks]

Thx for this information. Also for a pc-user is this nvme good. The best is: for only 50 dollars more (total 129.99 $), they sale this model with 2tb. This is a very good price 😊

[@popcornchicken5552]

I was lucky enough to get the firecuda with a price mistake. But good to know there are cheap options out there for others.

[@dragon2knight]

If you're lucky enough to live near a Microcenter in the US (or if you don't but have Amazon), you can nab an Inland Performance Plus SSD that excedds the recomended speeds (it's actually equal to this one being reviewed) for the same price or even less. You'll need a heat sink, but I find that getting a good aftermarket one as opposed to the often cheap ones included with some SSD's is a benifit not a drawback as you'll see much lower heat buildup which will limit performance and it also extends the life of the drive to boot. Some things you shouldn't cheap out on!

[@ADMBeatz]

I have this SSD. It’s great and inexpensive. Love the build quality too.

[@Xanthro2]

Thank you!

[@DingbatToast]

Great that the price is becoming reasonable. But tbh I have about 10 titles installed on the std drive, with no space issues. The ps5 compression chip is awesome.

[@middle_digit]

Bought a 4tb from Amazon. Delivered in 6 days USA to Australia. Everything went perfectly. The only fiddly part was getting the ps5 cover back on. Couldn't be happier.

[@pjm582009]

How much did that cost aus$, i just got a samsung 980 pro 2tb for $240, the 4tb ssd's are near the same price as another ps5.

[@middle_digit]

@@pjm582009 $588 that's with delivery and GST. JB want $1149 but it's not the same brand. Pretty much half price.

[@pjm582009]

@Middle Digit thats not bad, most i seen on ebay were $8-900. I seen the samsung 980 pro 2tb on jb and they wanted near $700 lol. Average price everywhere else is $330, don't know what jb is thinking.

[@broinsocali]

I bought the Corsair MP600 PRO LPX 1TB M.2 NVMe PCle x4 Gen4 SSD for $89 off Amazon. It works just fine.

[@fibonacci-dilemma3675]

I had gotten a fire Cuda, M.two for half the price for 4 TB will never regret wasting money on that

[@jsizzle2k6]

i bought the wd drive when it first launched. paid over 200 for 1tb. i really liked the sabrent heat sink that replaced the ps5 m.2 cover. so i was like 250 in for a 1tb upgrade... i havent installed a single game to it yet lmao

[@ILLAILLS]

Definitely saving. I have a 2TB WD and paid $170 when it was on sale. Hopefully they make a 2TB version
