Officially licensed PS5 storage with the heatsink already fitted, so you can install and play.
The Seagate Game Drive PS5 NVMe SSD 2TB is an officially licensed PCIe Gen4 x4 M.2 SSD with a pre-installed heatsink, built for the PlayStation 5 expansion slot. With reads up to 7,400MB/s and 3D TLC NAND, it plays PS5 games at full speed and doubles your game library space.
Why Many M.2 SSDs Need Extra Work Before They Fit a PS5
The PS5 accepts standard M.2 NVMe drives, but Sony requires Gen4 speeds and recommends a heatsink, and the slot has strict height limits. Buyers of generic drives often have to source a separate heatsink and confirm it fits under the expansion cover.
The Game Drive PS5 NVMe SSD removes that guesswork. It ships with a custom heatsink sized for the PS5 bay and carries official licensing, so it is ready to install, format and fill with games right away.
Full-Speed PS5 and PS4 Gameplay
With up to 7,400MB/s read and 1.3M random read IOPS, PS5 titles run directly from the drive with load times on par with internal storage. PS4 games can be stored and played from it as well.
Thermal Design for Long Sessions
The integrated heatsink spreads heat away from the controller and NAND, helping the drive avoid throttling during extended play and large game downloads. The heatsink should not be removed.
