GAMMIX S70 BLADE - PCIe Gen4 Solid State Drive (SSD) - Up to 7400/6800 MB/s Read/Write - Aluminum Heatsink - Gamers, Creators & PC Builders - Compatible with PS5, Laptops & PCs - AGAMMIXS70B-1T-CS

I originally sat on getting an SSD because they were so pricey. I get the 1TB SSD aren’t to steep in price but I feel like with PS5 and next gen 1TB isn’t enough and will take all that space up quickly. Especially if you are a gamer like myself. Plus I had a external 2TB hard drive(from the PS4 generation) granted you could only play PS4 games on it and store PS5 games but not play them. I finally pulled the trigger seeing the 2TB XPG Gammix S70 Blade was on sale for $249. Had some Christmas money to spend so out of pocket I paid maybe $125. This thing is a beast and worth my money if you ask me. I didn’t use the heat sink that comes with the SSD and instead opted to get the MHQJRH M.2 2280 SSD Heatsink, Double Sided Heat Sink With Thermal Silicone Pad For PC/PS5. The only part that was difficult was putting the heatsink and SSD together and installing it into the PS5 and even that isn’t very difficult. There are a lot of how to videos online and even on Amazon. The heatsink I mentioned has a video of someone installing that heat sink with a SSD and I went off that. Worked like a charm and I was able to install it my first try. When you boot your PS5 your prompted with a message saying you have a M.2 SSD and it needs to be formatted. I formatted it and I was given a read speed of 6270. Which is 700 more than the SSD on your PS5 motherboard. When I went to settings and checked the storage it was there with my external hard drive and it said I had 2.05TB free. Good to see that you actually get 2TB and a tad bit more. First thing I did was transfer games from SSD to SSD. I took Horizon Zero Dawn moved it from internal to the newly installed SSD and it transferred in 10 seconds. No joke 10 seconds. Than I took The Uncharted Collection from my external hard drive and transferred it to the new SSD that one took a bit longer due to the external not being no where near as fast as a SSD but even that took about 7-10 minutes. Last I took three games from my library Hollow Knight, Darksiders 3 and Far Cry 6 and installed them(not transfer actually install from scratch) and those three games took about 20 minutes tops. That being said this is a affordable SSD and it is legit in speed. I played Horizon Zero Dawn and Far Cry 6 and load times were identical to the mother board SSD. Can’t complain I’m a happy camper with my purchase. I now have the internal SSD of 667GB with a 2TB extra storage installed along with a external hard drive giving me 4.6TB of space. Which I personally think is more than enough to last the PS5 generation. That being said do yourself a favor and get this product it’s worth every penny if you ask me. Hardest part is the installation process but even than, it’s not that difficult.

I brought a 2tb first. Now im at the 4tb. It does what it need to do for storage. Easy to install. No slow down speeds. Design is nice. Storage is there. Compare to other brands. Price is great

The XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade is a PCIe Gen4 M.2 2280 internal gaming SSD that is compatible with the PlayStation 5. It is capable of up to 7,400 MB/s sequential read speeds and 6,800 MB/s sequential write speeds, making it one of the fastest SSDs on the market. This means that you can experience faster loading times and smoother gameplay on your PS5. The XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade is also very well-built. It is made of a durable aluminum alloy and it has a heat sink that helps to keep it cool. This makes it a great choice for gamers who want an SSD that can withstand the rigors of heavy use. I have been using the XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade for a year now, and I have been very impressed with its performance on my PS5. Games load up instantly, and I haven't had any problems with stuttering or lag. I highly recommend this SSD to anyone who is looking for a fast and reliable gaming SSD for their PS5.

I have only used this SSD for about a month but it works well and is fast. My only issue is that I put the heatsink on a little incorrectly and was unable to remove it(my fault entirely). This SSD has great price to performance and I hope it lasts.

Just got this yesterday (2/24/22), as soon as I got home from work I popped it in my PC to verify its Firmware and check if it needs to be updated. --------------- TL;DR - Not for beginners/non-electronic users. There was some hiccups because it depends on how your Motherboard BIOS/UEFI is setup because you have to make sure your M.2/NVMe slot is enabled, its PCH setting is correct and finally your Disk Configuration ASCII/RAID etc is correct to ensure correct boot-loading. ---------------- So once thats configured and you boot into your OS, the Drive should be recognized by your system, you just need to Allocate and Format it. Download the latest version tool from the Adata XGP site, then check its Firmware. All the new ones should be latest Firmware in the box, because the previous Firmware had compatibility and soft-bricking issues. Mine was already up-to-date. So next step? Shut down, removed it, put my PC side back on, then popped open my PS5! Yes I bought the XGP GAMMIX S70 Blade 2Tb for my PS5. It fits perfectly inside WITH the Heatsink on it and the M.2. cover closed. Just make sure to use that spacer disc and scree that hold it in to keep the NVMe Drive in place or it will fail to boot correctly (no display or other potential issues). Booted up my PS5 and it recognized it right away. Asked to format and it also tests the speeds. In the description it rates the S70 Blade at about 6,100Mbps, this tested at 6,200 and change. Either way its quite impressive. To test out on the PS5, I transferred about 230Gb worth of games I wasnt actively playing to the S70 Blade, which took less than 10 minutes, maybe even less time. It happened fast. Last time I transferred about 110Gb to a 4Tb Western Digital USB External HDD, took about 35-40 minutes. I definitely will update later as time goes along if there is anything different with positives or negatives.

Es de fácil instalación, lleva incluido un disipador de calor que aunque básico es efectivo y la mayoría de los Ssd te los hacen comprar aparte a este precio, es muy rápido y en dos meses de uso no tuve problema.

Excelente para PS5, carren genial los juegos y fácil de instalar y montar en la consola

I bought this item for my ps5. It works great. Its a great deal from amazon ae, for only 440dhs because its a open box, but the great things is it works perfectly on my ps5. Thanks amazon.

Kids love it, they notice the 2TB is faster than PS5 than SSD. Super fast copied 40GB in around 6 seconds ( from built in PS5 SSD to ADATA XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 2TB) Also a noticeable difference in installing a game (Ratchet Clank) to the XPG as we had to delete it to make room previously from the built in SSD. Cant monitor the heat, left the PS5 cover on to avoid dust build-up.

Considero que el ssd es muy bueno debido a su bajo costo referente a sus especificaciones comparado con otros que hay en el mercado. Con una exelente velocidad de escritura y almacenamiento, su coste es igual o incluso menor a ssd de menores características lo cual lo vuelve la mejor alternativa para tú primer ensamble de una PC gamer.
