- DON'T GO CHEAP! After trying multiple drives with the PS5 I can't emphasize enough that there is a big performance difference between the top USB storage devices and the top Gen4 M.2 storage devices. Faster read speeds, write speeds, download speeds, loading times and across the board it is a step up. So if it's possible I would recommend grabbing a Gen.4 M.2 for your PS5 cause it's definitely worth it.
I want to be very clear, I make absolutely NOTHING off of any purchases. I personally was impressed by this Aorus 7000s when it came to performance compared to its biggest competitors. Samsung and Western Digital definitely make some great storage and were neck and neck with this in the speed tests.

I want to be clear, I make absolutely NOTHING off of any purchases. I personally was impressed by this Aorus 7000s when it came to performance compared to its biggest competitors. Samsung and Western Digital definitely make some great storage and were neck and neck with this in the speed tests. They're all great products and I think the best advice I can give when shopping Gen4 drives for the PS5 is to stay in the realm of name brand and trusted quality. I hope this video helped! Stay awesome everyone 👏👏
I thought you did a great job of clarifying that in your video. Great review!
Good video brother 👍😎
so what about Seagate Firecuda 350? seems like the best one, right?
Good content! That western digital black has been treating me real well for weeks!!
Thanks so much for making a superb video with super simple to follow instructions. I was honestly scared I’d break my console when I realise I’d have to pull it apart to install the Aorus drive I bought instead of plugging it in externally. Your video made it super quick, super painless and super easy.
Thank you ❤️
This was the first storage drive I bought and it's incredible I found it on Amazon didn't know they do payments now but regardless 2tb and up to 7000 reading speed that's crazy I don't regret buying it
thanks for this awesome review i had this m.2 ssd too and been using on my ps5 console for a couple of months now and it was totally amazing
I’ve had one of these installed for months now, since the compatibility update was released, and it’s worked flawlessly so definitely a good recommendation 👍🏼
Can I ask you what it means compatibility update for ssd drive to be compatible with ps5?
@@cosmicwind8800 hi mate, originally the system software had the expanded hdd disabled, and a fair while ago now they released the update which allowed you to use the expanded storage. If your up to date with your system updates then these will work for you
@@makesy-5327 Thanks for the answer! Yes, my PS5 is up to date. Today I ordered myself same ssd and decided to see what people say about it. I saw your post and decided to check it out. Now I understand that everything will work automatically. Thanks again.
I bought the Aorus 7000s. Just received it a couple of days ago. And I’ve been impressed with it. I haven’t updated it to the latest update that claims to improve console compatibility but even without applying the update, games load instantly, and it has provided a very smooth performance. I’m happy with my purchase so far.
Can I ask you what it means compatibility update for ssd drive to be compatible with ps5?
@@cosmicwind8800 Sure they released an update to improve the ssd compatibility with the PS5 since the ssd is made mainly for pc’s, this just improves the ssd speed on the console to be more compatible.
@@109moviemaker i know this is a old comment now, but do you happen to know by any chance if i get a new one now, does it have the update pre-installed now ?
@@hekuranramadani Hello. Yes by now it should ship with the latest update pre-installed, straight from the factory. At least that’s what I saw in the official page from gigabyte. PS5 ready.
Hi great info👍👍, how good is the sea gate firecuda 530 2TB with built in heat sink??,keep up the great work👍👍.
I’ve been using the Samsung 980 pro 1tb and the Sabrent heat sink cover. So far it’s been fine. You are correct keep it name brand
I agree completely although some people have reported getting 250gb instead of 1TB with the Samsung M.2. I chose the WD_Black and it’s been faultless.
Just got one and installed works great
I picked up an XPG drive (XPG being the “gaming” centric arm of ADATA). I haven’t used my PS5 much after getting it. It came with speeds of 6800 when I formatted and tested it, though.
For another review, could you do a hypr controller? I have heard that they feel like a battle beaver.
Ole, are you going to review new scuf for ps5?
Hey air bear we used to play fortnite like 4-5 years ago when i was 13 you got me my first Win I REMEMBER!!
Thanks for this review. I decided to buy this SSD instead. I need to future proof myself for the better. Spiderman 2 is coming and my storage is getting lower and lower now.
Could you make another review on the legacy pc from vrla tech they changed the specs of it slot since your previous video
Can u review veno scorp pc’s i heard they have great pricings and desings for a prebuilt pc
I think I'm about to need some more storage for my pc. I have 2TB of storage and I've already used around 1.45TB lol. I wanna get a 4 to 8TB gen 3 M.2... but they're hard to find and expensive af. Plus I'd like to replace my sata drive. My motherboard has 1 gen 4 and 2 gen 3 ports... but as for loading and playing games they're about the same as far as I could tell
My ps5 does not see aorus ssd- my system is up to date. I have done everything as in the video….help!
Video couldn’t have come at a better time for me. I will definitely be looking into getting one of these!
Glad to help 🤙
Is it necessary to update firmware when using this SSD now? I'd love to get this specific one for my PS5 but I'm not really interested in dealing with firmware as I don't have access to a PC at the moment. Great video anyway.
i just got mine today and put it straight in the ps5 without downloading the firmware update on PC. it works fine!
I don't know if you'll see this, but most drives are ready to go out of the box. The only drive that'll potentially give you issues the Samsung 980 Pro Series. I've used the 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB drives, and I had to update the firmware with the Samsung Magician software.
Another dope video Bear! I’ve been searching for a good ssd drive for my Ps5 but wasn’t sure which ones I should be considering. Much thanks for the videos!
I’m gonna save this video for when I do decide to upgrade my ps5 ssd
I have this same drive and my ps5 doesn’t even see drive installed. Any tips or advice on why this may be
Imagine having a PS5 to put your M.2 in
You what's up Boss how you doing my guy
Hey please review the Scuf Reflex PS5 controllers
western digitasl did same thing as a data with the sn550. they replaced parts with cheaper not as good parts from the opnes they sent out for review and didnt tell anyone. you ended up with a wd m2 that droped performance on files lager than i think 16 gig but over half speeds.
Is there a difference in speed based on size?
aorus 1tb vs aorus 2tb.
Typically the speeds are faster when you go to a higher storage drive. I've used the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB NVMe drive, SN850 2TB, and the Seagate FireCuda SN530 4TB NVMe. The Seagate drive is by fast the fastest drive I own.
I have the aorus ssd they have a 5386,249 speed why is this so slow?
Would i have to backup any data before installing or will all my PS5 storage be safe?
Doesn't mess with your ps5 storage. However after it's installed you can transfer to and from as you like
It’s almost 200$ not bad
will it feet ps5 slot?
Why my 7000s 2TB only goes 5738mbs on ps5? Plz help
Read speeds hitting 5500-6000 is normal performance. Write speeds should be in the 6700-7000 range
@@AirBearGaming no, i mean the speed showed on ps5 after formatting, is that normal?
@@gamerl.w2258 try formatting it again. Normal ps5 benchmark speed for the aorus 7000s is 6500+mbps read speed.
Im only gettong 4200 mbs ;(
the same thing happened to me. I have a 7000s of 1Tb it hit 5800gb/s. I formatted again but it didn't improve.
Does this come with a heat sheild?
It comes with a heat transfer pad and heatsink already installed.
@@AirBearGaming Thanks!
Yea I wish the ps5 did have more
The same air bear!!! What’s up buddy? HMU

First
I have loved your content from the get go but as time has gone on, I’ve realized you start to make yourself irrelevant when you give your opinion this late after everyone else in the world has already made great videos on such topics.
Paying $800-$1200 for a PlayStation 5 console only to have to purchase an additional storage device and install it is the biggest crock of shite I’ve seen in a while.
Not everyone paid scalper price my huh
PovertyStation is behind
Internal ssd is always better no matter what even if external is cheaper
Don’t be a cheapskate
