The KIOXIA EXCERIA 2TB with Heatsink is an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD for PS5 users and PC gamers who want added storage, a built-in heatsink, and sequential speeds up to 6,200 MB/s read and 4,900 MB/s write.
Recommended For
- PS5 owners adding space for a larger installed-game library who want a Gen4 M.2 drive with a heatsink already attached; KIOXIA says this series is designed for PS5, and a review tested the heatsink model in a PS5.
- PC gamers building a desktop who want a 2TB game-storage drive with an integrated heatsink, rather than choosing and fitting a separate M.2 cooler.
- Players who want to keep frequently played games on fast internal storage and value extra capacity over buying a higher-performance flagship SSD; reviews position the heatsink model for gaming and report PS5 game-storage use.
- Desktop builders whose M.2 slot needs its own cooling and who prefer a pre-fitted heatsink for a straightforward SSD installation.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a PS5 is running short on space, install the 2TB drive in the M.2 expansion slot and use it to store and play compatible PS5 games; testing of the EXCERIA with Heatsink series found game loading broadly comparable to the console’s built-in SSD.
- When adding storage to a PS5, the built-in heatsink means the drive can be fitted as supplied, avoiding the separate heatsink purchase and installation; a 2TB owner reported that the console recognized and formatted the drive after installation.
- For a PS5 owner who wants to keep more large games installed, the added M.2 capacity can serve as a game library: move titles to the expansion drive and play them from there instead of repeatedly deleting and reinstalling games.
- In a desktop gaming PC with a compatible M.2 slot and enough heatsink clearance, use the drive as additional storage for a game library; KIOXIA positions this model family for desktop PCs as well as PS5 systems.
- During long gaming sessions or repeated game transfers on a PS5, the integrated heatsink provides cooling without requiring a separately fitted cooler; a hands-on test of a 4TB drive from the same series found its heatsink kept measured components below 60°C under the tested workloads.

Reference Q&A
Q: Is the 2TB KIOXIA EXCERIA with Heatsink a good fit for a PS5, or should I buy a faster SSD?
A: Choose the KIOXIA if you want 2TB of expansion storage with a preinstalled heatsink: its PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, up to 6,200 MB/s read speed, and 80.65 × 24.70 × 11.20 mm dimensions align with Sony’s published speed and size guidance. A faster-rated drive may suit other workloads, but Sony notes that exceeding its recommended 5,500 MB/s read speed does not guarantee better game performance.
Q: Should I get this KIOXIA or the 2TB WD_BLACK SN850X for gaming?
A: Choose the KIOXIA when you want 2TB with a built-in heatsink and its rated speeds meet your needs. The 2TB WD_BLACK SN850X is rated for higher sequential speeds—up to 7,300 MB/s read and 6,600 MB/s write versus the KIOXIA’s 6,200 MB/s and 4,900 MB/s—so it is the more fitting comparison if your priority is higher advertised transfer performance. These specifications alone do not establish a meaningful difference in game load times.
Q: KIOXIA EXCERIA with Heatsink or EXCERIA G2 2TB for a PS5?
A: Choose the EXCERIA with Heatsink for a PS5 expansion: it is a PCIe 4.0 drive rated up to 6,200 MB/s read and includes a heatsink. The EXCERIA G2 is a lower-speed PCIe 3.0 model rated up to 2,100 MB/s read, so its published specifications do not meet Sony’s recommended 5,500 MB/s read speed for PS5 M.2 storage. The G2 is better suited to a compatible PC where PCIe 3.0 performance is sufficient.
Q: Is the KIOXIA EXCERIA with Heatsink or EXCERIA PRO 2TB better for a fast PC?
A: The EXCERIA PRO is rated for higher sequential performance—up to 7,300 MB/s read and 6,400 MB/s write—so consider it when those higher advertised speeds are the priority. Choose the EXCERIA with Heatsink if you prefer a drive supplied with an integrated heatsink and its rated speeds of up to 6,200 MB/s read and 4,900 MB/s write are sufficient. Actual results depend on the workload and system.
Q: Will this SSD work in a PS5?
A: It is designed for PS5 expansion: it has a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface, 2TB capacity, an integrated heatsink, and a stated maximum sequential read speed of 6,200 MB/s. Check the console’s installation instructions and confirm the exact drive dimensions before installation.
Q: Will it fit in my laptop?
A: Not necessarily. The drive is M.2 2280 NVMe, but its integrated heatsink makes it 11.2 mm high. Check that your laptop supports an M.2 2280 NVMe drive and has clearance for the heatsink before buying; laptop slot fit varies by model.
Q: Who is this SSD suitable for?
A: It suits desktop PC or PS5 users seeking 2TB of NVMe storage for games and other frequently used files. It offers up to 6,200 MB/s sequential reads and 4,900 MB/s sequential writes. Its cache uses HMB rather than onboard DRAM, which is a specification to consider if onboard DRAM is a requirement for your use case.
Q: Is the KIOXIA EXCERIA Heatsink 2TB suitable for a PS5 storage upgrade?
A: It appears suited to that use: the provided specs list a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 drive with an integrated heatsink and up to 6,200 MB/s sequential reads. A Reddit user reports installing a 2TB KIOXIA EXCERIA with Heatsink in a PS5 and having it recognized. That report is user experience, not a guarantee for every model or console.
Q: Does this SSD have a DRAM cache?
A: No. The provided product specifications say it is DRAM-less and uses HMB (Host Memory Buffer). A Reddit discussion about the EXCERIA with Heatsink also raises the question of whether the drive has DRAM, making this a relevant detail to check when comparing models.
Q: Is it a reasonable choice for everyday PC gaming, or should I consider a faster drive?
A: The provided specs make it a PCIe 4.0 gaming drive, with up to 6,200 MB/s reads and 4,900 MB/s writes. A Reddit discussion comparing EXCERIA Heatsink with a newer, faster KIOXIA option centers on gaming and daily use. This model may suit those uses; whether a faster drive is worth choosing depends on the price difference and workload.
