Tested by SP themselves in guessing.
Sony PS5 wont boot if 2nd SSD installed, so i think this is a bit of potentially misleading marketing, at least at the minute while Sony havent released their approved SSD list.
Why is $10 off a deal now?
$10 off is better than nothing.
Well it's not a bargain so it's a joke.
Find a better deal and post it here then?
Not fast enough for my brand new PS5. :(
PS5 is too OP.
Over priced 👌
Apparently the PS5 is sold at loss, what’s expensive isn’t the hardware.

Good one.lol. What I meant is over powered or too fast in this instance.
No the 'best alternative to the 980 Pro' is the WD SN850. It's not a cheap alternative, but it is unquestionably the best. It's also, most definitely not a 'bargain'.
Sandisk is for cameras. I'd take phison over that any day.
Read reviews of poor performance of this drive.
What's the best value 2tb nvme drive out there at the moment? Any deals?
silicon power's drives are reported to have a high failing rate on Amazon
I have its little brother 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 and it is freaking perfect.
It is currently attached to my Xbox Series X via an ASUS ROG Strix Arion USB3.2 GEN2 Type-C (10 Gbps).
It works just fine, heavy games like GTA opens within ~5-7 seconds. COD, Forza, Quick Resume, you name it.No issues whatsoever. It does usually gets pretty hot tho. My previous SSD enclosure had a pretty sh1t chipset as well.
I keep everything on top of a laptop cooling pad, it runs cold and nothing to complain at all.For the matter "by opens within" I mean from selecting the game to open and actually playing it :)
Managed to score a couple Samsung PM981a 2TBs for 180 bucks each! OEM equivalent to a 970 Pro! Keep an eye out on gumtree etc if ya real keen
Got any links??
This seems like such good value compared to other brands.
It says “PS5 compatible” - I thought they hadn’t released their approved list yet?
