Is this really a nvme drive? the user posted benchmark results suggest otherwise!

Hi! So you're seeing the reviews for the A55 version included in this (there are multiple SSDs included on one Amazon page - click through to see the difference). This device is definitely an NVMe M.2 drive; the A55 is a 2.5' drive, which has the performance you've been seeing in pictures. Beware though; if you're looking for an upgrade for your NVMe SSD you should definitely have a look at a smaller capacity SSD from a better brand (i.e. Samsung). Those will be faster and more reliable. If you need the storage, use NVMe to boot and buy an external/internal (if you have the space inside your machine) hard-drive for extra storage.

Does this come with a heatsink or do i need to apply or buy one seperately.

No heatsink is supplied, but one is not needed for this SSD (pc tech of 11 years)

Would this be ok with Rog Ally ?

I purchased one a while ago and it failed within a few months. Not recommended.

Will this ssd fit in b450m pro-m2 motherboard?

Best answer I can give is that, having perused the manual for that motherboard (which isn't terrible helpful in its description of the m.2 service!), yes, it will fit. Just be aware that, like most motherboards, once you start using the m.2 sockets on the motherboard that your SATA connections get reduced in number!

Bought for PS5 storage, 5* thus far

Initially I was a bit apprehensive about this product as I've previously only ever used 'name' brand SSD's like WD, Samsung or Crucial. Even though I was buying this solely for PS5 storage, I was still a bit wary of buying a cheap drive from a company I'd never heard of, but decided to give it a try after reading several positive reviews (from both published articles from the likes of PC Gamer & Games Radar, and individual Amazon customer reviews just like this one). Item arrived overnight with Prime shipping, no problem. With the help of a Philips head #1, I was able to install this drive in mere seconds (literally took under two minutes; the hardest part was getting the PS5 side panel to snap back into place after installation). PS5 recognised it straight away & formatting took perhaps a minute at most. According to the PS5, data transfer speed out of the box is 6163 mb/s, and transferring ~400gb of games from the full PS5 drive took perhaps a minute or two at most. Too early to rate in terms of reliability or longevity, but I'm quite impressed with the great performance thus far. Despite the bargain-basement price tag, the Silicon Power drive seems quite a well-built & sturdy SSD, with a quality built-in heatsink (necessary for use in PS5) - very pleased so far with the drive; phenomenal value for money & I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Easy to fit to PS5

Easy to fit to my ps5 (found a vid online), and when ps5 booted up it recognised ssd instantly. Lots of extra space for ps5 games. No issues yet and machine is used daily. Cheaper than others on the market yet works just as well.
