Review: Expanded my storage nicely - Works, easy to install, is the speed and size to max out my computer
Review: Great & Easy Storage Upgrade for PS5 - Works as advertised one of the more cost effective options for a PS5 storage upgrade. Read Write performance comparable to onboard storage. Upgrade process was surprisingly easy. Great experience overall, highly recommended. Sony's website has the installation video for all PS5 versions but generally it's sliding /popping off a plastic panel removing a small metal door with a Philips screwdriver seating and installing the drive in the port and reversing the process to seal it up. PS5 will need to format it on fist boot and you will need to choose / move installed games from the onboard storage to the new drive. I haven't noticed any difference in load times between the two so you may as well re-direct all new game installs to the new drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Becoming More Of A Fan Every Device
*by B***R on September 8, 2025*

I've slowly been using Lexar more and more through the years. I haven't used them as my main brand for important things, but I have been trying them out for secondary devices or backups to see how well they function. Over the past five years, nothing has broken on me, which is why I decided to get this drive to put inside my desktop for my PC games. This is a Gen4 NVMe drive. I won't reiterate all the specs, but it is a DRAM-less drive, and substitutes HMB (host memory buffer) as the cache instead of being on the drive. This makes it a little slower, but you get the benefit of a lower operational temperature. For me, games already load and run fast, and having it be cooler was better for me, personally, as an IT guy. I prefer things to last longer than be faster and burn out. So far, this drive blazes. The heatsink looks nice, even though I won't ever see it in my desktop, and anything to help reduce heat is always a plus. However, if you get an NVMe with a heatsink, if you decide you want to turn it into an external drive, you have limited options when putting it in a portable external drive, at least currently. I had debated getting a plain drive without a heatsink, but it was actually cheaper to get it with the heatsink at the time of purchase. Overall, this NVMe was quick to install, easy to partition, and has been as quick as the Samsung 990s to use. Recommended.
