990 PRO
Screaming Fast and Easy…

I purchased the Samsung 990 Pro 1TB NVMe SSD to add more storage to my PS5. It was not clear how easy or difficult it would be to install the device, but I jumped in head first with my purchase.
The device came packaged well protected and with an integrated heatsink--the heatsink being necessary for PS5 integration. From unpackaging to installing the device took less than five minutes. It was a pain-free experience. As quickly as I was able to install the device, the PS5 immediately recognized it and quickly formatted the device.
I was AMAZED with how fast I could move my installed games to the SSD. It was a matter of mere seconds to transfer 30GB of data. And, now I have significantly more space on my PS5 and don't need to uninstall games everytime I get a new one! (At least for a while.)
Where I was really pleasantly surprised was in the performance boost I observed on loading times. With Horizon: Forbidden West, starting up the game is near instantaneous. The game was already pretty quick on the PS5 to load, but now it is essentially running like an old school cartridge based console that didn't have any load times. I'm truly impressed with the performance improvements this device provides.
I will have to wait and see how long it will take to fill up the 1TB device. Perhaps by then it'll be time to upgrade capacity. Until then (which I expect to be a while) I'm really happy witht the bump in storage capacity and performance that this powerful little device provides.
