Will this fit my laptop?

It is a standard M.2 2280 drive, 22 mm wide and 80 mm long, so it fits slots that accept full-length M.2 cards. Check that your slot is M.2 with NVMe support, not a SATA-only M.2 slot.

Is it fast enough for everyday use?

Yes for booting Windows, browsing and office work, where NVMe beats a SATA SSD. It is a budget DRAM-less drive, so very large file transfers and heavy sustained writes are where it trails premium PCIe 3.0 models.

Does it come with a heatsink or software?

No. The box holds the drive and six screws. You supply any heatsink your motherboard or laptop needs, and you clone or reinstall the operating system yourself.

How much space will I actually get?

The drive is rated 256GB using decimal gigabytes, so the formatted capacity your system reports will be lower. Plan on it holding the OS plus a modest amount of apps and media.

Is it compatible with a PS5?

No. Sony requires a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive with a heatsink for PS5 expansion, and this is a PCIe 3.0 drive without one.

Our take on the Vansuny 256GB Internal SSD PCIe 3.0 M.2 2280 NVMe

The Vansuny 256GB is a bare M.2 2280 NVMe drive on the PCIe 3.0 interface, meant as a low-cost boot or storage upgrade for desktops and laptops with a free M.2 slot. It is a DRAM-less, budget-tier drive, so it suits light everyday use rather than sustained large-file work. Against name-brand PCIe 3.0 drives it gives up peak speed and endurance headroom, and buyers should expect no heatsink and no cloning software in the box.

Pros

NVMe over PCIe 3.0, far quicker than a SATA SSD or hard drive
Standard M.2 2280 size fits most modern laptops and desktops
Light at 6 g and thin at 2.1 mm, so it slips under a laptop cover
Ships with six mounting screws
Simple plug-in install, no cables or drive bay needed

Cons

256GB fills quickly once the OS and a few games are installed
Budget DRAM-less design slows on long sustained writes
No heatsink, so it can throttle in tight or hot enclosures
No cloning software or migration tool included
Actual usable capacity is below 256GB after formatting
