Overview
A 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD officially licensed as a PS5 storage expansion, rated up to 7,300MB/s and sold with a heatsink already sized for the console's M.2 slot.
Official PS5 licensing means WD tested this specifically against the console's own firmware and thermal limits, which is a different bar than a general PC Gen4 drive claiming console compatibility. The matched heatsink also removes the guesswork of buying cooling separately for the PS5's tight M.2 bay.
- Officially licensed for PS5
- Up to 7,300MB/s read speed
- Heatsink included, sized for the PS5 M.2 slot
- Play directly from the drive
Who it's for
Suits PS5 owners who have filled their console's internal storage and want to keep playing directly off the added drive rather than shuffling games on and off. Not relevant to anyone without a PS5 or looking for a general-purpose PC drive.
Pros and cons
- Officially licensed and tested for PS5 consoles
- Heatsink included and pre-sized for the PS5 slot
- Play directly from the drive, no game transfers
- 1TB capacity is the smallest option in this line
Performance notes
PCIe Gen4 x4 connectivity supports read speeds up to 7,300MB/s, and the included heatsink is shaped to fit the PS5's M.2 bay without extra clearance work. Once installed, the console can launch games straight from the drive instead of requiring a transfer step first.
