Silicon Power PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD 256GB Gen3x4 R/W up to 2, 100/1, 200MB/s Internal SSD

Initially I was a bit apprehensive about this product as I've previously only ever used 'name' brand SSD's like WD, Samsung or Crucial. Even though I was buying this solely for PS5 storage, I was still a bit wary of buying a cheap drive from a company I'd never heard of, but decided to give it a try after reading several positive reviews (from both published articles from the likes of PC Gamer & Games Radar, and individual Amazon customer reviews just like this one).Item arrived overnight with Prime shipping, no problem. With the help of a Philips head #1, I was able to install this drive in mere seconds (literally took under two minutes; the hardest part was getting the PS5 side panel to snap back into place after installation). PS5 recognised it straight away & formatting took perhaps a minute at most. According to the PS5, data transfer speed out of the box is 6163 mb/s, and transferring ~400gb of games from the full PS5 drive took perhaps a minute or two at most. Too early to rate in terms of reliability or longevity, but I'm quite impressed with the great performance thus far. Despite the bargain-basement price tag, the Silicon Power drive seems quite a well-built & sturdy SSD, with a quality built-in heatsink (necessary for use in PS5) - very pleased so far with the drive; phenomenal value for money & I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Bought this for my ps5. Easy to install as was pre fitted with heatsink. System recognised it without issue. Definitely recommend as was cheaper at the time in comparison to the better known brands.

Works good, easy installation, initialised and formated in Windows 11.

Before I got it I want to make sure that I was getting something what was gonna be good for very for money and I did not realise that with this hard drive. It was the most valued for money ever so anyone else who wants to buy this, I would say yes 10 out of 10 for budget and full value and I recommend anyone else who wants to buy one to get it could it be worthwhile?

This was easy to install and seems great so far would recommend for ps5

I bought this when it was on sale, and its performance is amazing! I use this in a Linux KVM server (like proxmox), and often find that I sometimes need to transfer multi-gig VM disk images between disks. This drive never seems to be the bottlneck and is blazing fast. Having the heatsink just meant that I didn't have to worry about fitting a third-party one on, and I would highly recommend that everyone sticks heatsinks on these NVME drives to stop them thermal throttling. I will probably buy again when I need to set up or upgrade the next server.

Got for my PS5, easy to install and so far works fine with no issues.Reads fine for game speeds, worth every penny

An excellent choice for a boot drive for my new build. Very fast for boot up , gaming and multi media projects. Highly recommend to anyone who needs to speed up their systems
