Overall Feedback:
86% positive
83% liked the generous storage capacity, but 17% found it too small
I have over 40 games downloaded on my PS5 and the expandable storage is worth the price with plenty of room for more.
I wanted to buy a 2TB internal solid-state drive to save money, but decided to opt for a different option instead of buying it twice.
My PS5's write speed is only up to 6183mbps, which is lower than the advertised speed of up to 7300mbps.
83% found it compatible with various systems, but 17% encountered compatibility issues
The internal solid state drive is compatible with my console and useful for storing more games without having to remove and reinstall due to storage constraints.
Installing the SSD was easy and it improves the frame rate and loads games faster.
I installed and formatted the SSD in less than 5 minutes and less than a minute respectively.
I faced an issue where the games stored on the card stuttered a lot at first.

83% praised for its rugged durability, while 17% experienced hardware failure
I find that the SSD is helpful for storing data on the console without internal storage.
I faced a major problem with the durability of the internal-solid-state-drives. I was unable to remove the second screw due to its tiny and frail nature, and I even stripped it in my first try to unscrew it.
I am dissatisfied with the durability of the internal solid-state drive. It is poorly made and should not be the standard practice. I feel cheated out of money, time, and personal experience.
At first, the games stored on my card stuttered a lot.
