    Bit slower than some other pcie 4.0 SSDs (like 7000MB/s reads and 5000MB/s writes) but seems good value for money at $150/TB. not sure about PNY as a brand tho

      Not sure this model but ordered anyway for PS5.
      5 year warranty, even it fails, may just RMA and re-download the games.

          Only cares about the exclusives
          plays Xbox where exclusives also come to pc

          See why people are downvoting you?

            @Intoxicoligist: Yeah, I see why people are down voting me. It's cause they're idiots!

            Even though I can admit the Xbox has many strengths over the PS5…. I actually prefer Sony's for its games. Re-read my comment.

            I think it's great that we still have two companies trying to be competitive in this landscape, unlike say, the dGPU market. Although I haven't bought either of those consoles, if I was going to spend my money, I personally would look at the Valve SteamDeck first.

            Sometime I wonder if people who make these statement are aware it's just a play on words and that Xbox and Windows OS are made by the same company..

        • Geoff-bargain on 16/08/2021 - 11:04

          I own both and agree that Sony's exclusives are really their trump card. I prefer Sony's controller too I probably play the Xbox more though just because of gamepass. Waiting on the next horizon game. I'll probably get Returnal when it drops in price too. Having PC/Xbox options and not being that into online multiplayer I can easily for games to drop to a cheapish price or for them to come to gamepass.

            @Geoff-bargain: Returnal is down to $75 delivered from amazon US if you’re a prime member. https://www.amazon.com.au/PlayStation-3005733-Returnal-for-5…

            Absolutely stellar game. I’d never played a rogue light before and I was absolutely destroyed by this game. But it’s one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in a long while. The 3D audio, haptics, presentation are just amazing. And it just makes you want to keep trying.

            @Geoff-bargain: Returnal is worth grabbing if you can get a cheap copy (check marketplace, I see it there for 60-70 regularly). I have a PC with gamepass and piratebay, and PS5 for exclusives.

    • jjsu on 15/08/2021 - 17:24
      +5

      According to what I've read/seen about the beta, the PS5 only really checks for PCIe Gen4 compatibility and doesn't necessarily account for speeds.

      Such as this article about the ADATA XPG Gammix S50 Lite (3,900MB/s reads and 3,200MB/s writes) and Linus Tech Tip's recent video which tested the Corsair Force Series MP600 (4,950MB/s reads and 4,250MB/s writes). Both drives apparently work fine.

      However, please do correct me if I'm wrong.

        Didn't know that, thanks for sharing! Could potentially save ~$200 getting the one in this post if that's the case.
        Wish they would test Ratchet and Clank though.

        • jjsu on 15/08/2021 - 17:45

          Of course, that's what this community is for :)

        • Mandalorians on 15/08/2021 - 17:47

          PNY CS3040 is above PS5 minimum 5500MB/s read speed.

    That's cheap even for a 2TB PCIE 3.0 drive. Clearly not the best brand but it sure is cheap for what it claims to offer.

      I got 5% off with ebay plus in cart which almost cancelled out pccg shipping fee (also, why does probably the most popular pc store in the country have shipping fees when most other stores don't, or even a "free shipping over $99" offer?)

        I could not get the 5% off eBay Plus items discount because it is not an eBay Plus item however I did get a discount by doing some steps.

        Shipping was $16.00 but I got it cheaper because:
        •Bought eBay gift cards through the ShopBack app for 3% off. First time I have bought gift cards through their app.
        •Used ShopBack for 1% cashback on ebay.com.au (Cashrewards should work too).

        $316.00 x 0.97 = $306.52
        $306.52 x 0.99 = $303.45

        I stuffed up that second calculation. I am not sure if the 1% cashback is done on the full amount including postage ($316.00), item amount excluding postage ($300.00), full amount including postage but excluding GST ($287.27) or the item amount excluding postage and GST ($272.27).

        The end figure would be close enough.

        • dwhes on 15/08/2021 - 18:27

          Just did the same but used Suncorp rewards for the 3% off. And then used ShopBack for the purchase through eBay. Cheers!

          I thought that was only for 'Plus' items, which I didn't think this one was.

          • WhippnNae on 15/08/2021 - 18:34

            @Stoibs: A few people commenting are Plus members and aren't getting any discount, so I just bit the bullet and bought on eBay via Cashrewards for hopefully 1% off. (Need to spend $$ on my AmEx card otherwise would have also purchased gift cards for an additional few percent off.)

            I'm thinking those using 5% off coupon were recipients of an earlier targeted offer.

            @Guybrush57: did you do anything specific to be eligible for the 5% off discount code ?

            • Guybrush57 on 15/08/2021 - 19:51

              @Jvin: I didn't use a 5% off code. I bought eGift cards for 3% off then checked out with ShopBack for a further 1% off. The 5% off eBay Plus code I had wouldn't work on the item as it is not an eBay Plus item.

      There are quite a few for 1tb, and it's pretty promising. For the price it's pretty insane.

    Does this have DRAM?

      Yes, hence why this is a bargain.

      You will not see prices for something like this again for another year with prices projected to go up unless there are other sporadic sales like this one.

    Wow. A 2TB expansion for PS5 for $300!!!

    I don’t even think the XSX 1TB expansion card has been this cheap.

    I bit the bullet for my PS5! Used Suncorp rewards to get 3% off eBay gift cards, brought it down to $306 and then went through ShopBack for another 1% off. Total price of approximately $303! Absolute bargain for a gen4 2TB ssd. Sure it’s just over min specs for the ps5 but I doubt you’ll notice much difference between it and say the SN850 with its 6500MB/s read speeds.

    This needs a heatsink for the PS5 right? Anyone know any good heatsinks that will fit in the ps5? Please recommend me any. Originally bought a Gigabyte Aorus 7000s 1tb for my ps5 but could get this instead and have the gigabyte returned.

    the 5% off code must be targeted… most of us here with ebay plus dont have it !!
