Just installed this in the PS5 (as I am on the beta test for the latest patch) and can confirm it works fine. I coupled it with a Glotrend £12.99 heatsink (one sided as I bought the 1TB drive), and the PS5 instantly recognised it and reported it was capable of 6999mb/s. I moved a number of PS5 games across to it, and they are all playing with no issues.
To install I just flipped off the top of the PS5, removed the expansion plate, unscrewed the screw inside the slot (and removed the small silver ring), gently slotted the drive (now with heatsink stuck on top) into the slot of the left, and pushed down, put the silver ring into the whole under the screw (so the drive sat on top of it), and screwed the screw back in. I didn't replace the drive cover to allow air in, and then replaced the PS5 top. And rebooted.
Took about 4 minutes.
