Yeah it 99% will work, but not the same speeds as the internal.
I have one and it works great.
Slower drives work fine. There might be some game in the future where loading textures in real time has a visible lag but it certainly doesn't exist yet.
As upcoming 3rd gen games in development place more demand on transfer of data, you might transport back to the days of waiting for levels to load. Might be OK now… though time will tell.
Gigabyte has validated that it does up to 5,600MB/s in the PS5's expansion slot which exceeds what Sony wants
Max sequential read speeds are far from the whole picture though and that won't change with time. In games with large maps that are loaded in chunks depending on where you're going, random read performance is more important since its loading in a bunch of smaller assets not one huge map file.
On umart spec sheet
Sequential Read speed
Up to 5000 MB/s
Up to 5600 MB/s (read speed test result by PS5 M.2 evaluating process)
Yes the Umart data is straight from the Gigabyte Spec page, so Gigabyte have obviously retroactively validated it.
I have one and can confirm it's accurate and has been trouble free in my PS5
Amazon is matching the price but in back order:

how do you get the same price on amazon? if i click on other buying options i see much higher prices
The backorder status is gone.
Wow amazing price….been looking at this one for awhile
It's getting close to me buying a drive for the ps5. $250 is in sight!
PS
Sequential Read speedUp to 5000 MB/s
Up to 5600 MB/s (read speed test result by PS5 M.2 evaluating process)
Which means this is perfect for PS5
just get a 980pro or SN850.
As crazy as this sounds this works faster than an Evo 970 Plus in PCIE 3.
hi can i use this for ps5 ?
Are you joking? There's 3 posts confirming this. esl?
By looking at this picture I thought this was a deal for some sort of waffle snack.
Is the included heatsink good enough for PS5?
For the extra $30 + del I'd still gor for the SN850: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08KFRFL8F/ref=ppx_yo_d…
Absolutely… I picked up the SN850 2TB for $344 and would recommend along with the 980 Pro.
Darn. Stupid afterpay. I paid $373 on ebay using afterpay some time ago. I presume I can't lodge a price protection claim with 28 degrees because of this.
If you paid with your 28 Degrees card you can. I've done afterpay and Latitude pay claims. I usually just mention in the description that I paid using Latitude Pay starting on x date.
Thanks!
This drive is utterly unresponsive at basic OS tasks. Despite benching very highly, it takes fricking ages to think about what files are in a directory, particularly video files (if you ever back up your phone for example). Is that an issue for other people with this/other nvme drives?
Not officially PS5 compatible according to Sony's spec of 5500 MB/s sequential read, this does 5000.
Might still work though.
