Customer Reviews
Works as expected: loads my PS5 games as fast as the built-in SSD. Easy to install, and priced much better than similar models from better-known (but not necessarily better-quality) brands.
I would recommend this product to a friend!

I received the aluminum case and cable, but the actual important component, the circuit board, was not included.
