Yes, you can use this SSD as a storage expansion for the PS5 as long as it is mounted with a suitable, low-profile heatsink and does not exceed the total height of 11.25 mm. The SSD fulfils the requirements of the PS5 in terms of interface (M.2 2280, PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe) and speed (read rate over 5,500 MB/s), which is important for compatibility.
It is important that you format the SSD after installing it in the PS5 and that the PS5 confirms the speed. With up to 7,250 MB/s read speed and 6,900 MB/s write speed, the SSD offers sufficient performance for the PS5. A suitable heatsink is necessary to avoid overheating and throttling during longer gaming sessions.
