Turned off and unplugged ps5. slide the lid/casing off the bottom of the ps5. Unscrew the ssd casing. position the screw and washer they provide down 1 notch to the 80mm mark and gently inserted the drive, hearing the click as the ssd drive slots in.
Then proceeded to turn on the ps5, which prompted me to format the usb drive… taking a few seconds to format and eventually giving a read speed of 6538.91MB/s as shown in the image - which is to be expected as i think ps5 bottlenecks this read speed around this value. Having a look at reviews of other ssd brands other customers have bought and reviewed.. they all seem to cap out at this 6500MB/s speed so i am very happy the SSD arrived on time (1 day delivery cos gamer), and is performing as expected.
Transferred Destiny 2 and Godfall ~103GB of data from the console storage to this m.2 SSD drive (go to an app, and press options -> move game data) - this took about 1 minute.. to transfer 100GB of data!! incredibly fast.
One thing i did not expect however was that my LAN cable was Disconnected during this data transfer - i did have to switch my ps5 off an on again as this seemed to bug out my lan connection entirely. So I deleted the current Wired Lan profile, restarted my PS5, and then set up my network connection again which fixed the issue - but this i suspect was possibly an intended software feature on Sony's end. I would advise maybe disconnecting any LAN cables during data transfers to mitigate this
I didn't test any Thermal production of the ssd drive however, as i didn't have the tools to do so but from reading around this ssd drive with heatsink is the way to go, custom heatsinks offer ~15-20ºC reduction in cooling, however the drive with heatsink can get anywhere from ~20-30ºC reliably.
Loaded up Destiny 2 and everything was loading noticeabley faster than game storage - from title screen to loading into a game environment was very quick. Would recommend.

Test System: X570/5900X/RTX 3090/64GB
The temp peaked to 55*C in the Crystal Disk bench. Office is fairly cool and the drive is idling at 38*C, but I figured this would be the case since it sits in the first M.2 slot on my X570 motherboard. Air needs to channel between the RAM and GPU to reach it, honestly - it's a terrible placement for these Gen4 NVMe since they can generate so much heat. My second M.2 slot is covered by the GPU and I already have a slower NVMe in it for extra storage.
Only purchased since my previous NVMe, Aorus Gen4 (the all copper launch one), died due to overheating. That drive was idling at 55*C and those first gen Phison controllers haven't earned a great reputation for reliability.
The biggest reason for buying this drive is the endurance rating for the drive and that it could possibly generate less heat since the memory is limited to 1,200 MTps vs. 1,600 MTps. Definitely on the pricier side of similar 1TB NVMe drives (980 Pro, KC3000, SN850, Rocket 4 Plus, and Platinum P41), but it's also has the highest endurance rating out of all of them and free data recovery for 3-years.

Build quality is excellent and oozes quality.
Speed is one of the fastest currently available.
It used to be very expensive but has come down in price significantly so definitely worth a purchase

By Ian Kilpatrick on 28 March 2022

Easy to install once the PS5 side panel was removed (the difficult bit). Once the PS5 turned on, automatically detected the storage, formatted without issues and showing read speed greater than the recommended/requirements specified by Sony.
Did get the memory with discount, but still feel its a little expensive for what you get. Hopefully these will eventually drop below the £100 price tag.
