Installed the drive into the PS5 and seems to work with no issues. My Western Digital SN850 (1TB) was rated at 6544MBs read speed.
To test write, I transferred Control (25GB) from my internal to the NVMe and it took around 25 seconds, which isn't too bad :o I did previously update the firmware of the SSD on my PC just in case, and these things do run hot at around 40C idle (in my desktop) which will surely be higher in such a small enclosed slot, so don't skimp on the heatsink! Additionally, you get the full capacity of the drive so no wasted space. In my case its 1000GB formatted for use.
Will test a game or two but presumably will be the same as playing on internal storage.
