Samsung 980 isn't part of the Samsumg Redemption Promo
Looks like only 980 Pro is part of that promo, not this one.
You can still add the code to their 980Pro listings, PLNS15 takes the 2TB down to $492.15.
StaticIce vendor prices start at around $529, and you will likely need to add postage to that.
What are the SSD requirements for PS5 upgrade?
Needs to be Gen 4.
This is Gen 3, so it wouldn't work.
Thanks. Just looked and it seems only the 980 pro would be suitable
Need to actually be able to find a PS5 in stock
And I am assuming you need an SSD with heat sink?
something like this 2tb 980pro

You can add a heatsink to an SSD that doesn't come with one. It seems to be a lot cheaper to do it this way. Just need to be sure the heatsink will fit in the PS5.

Cheaper, has a heatsink & eligible for Farcry redemption
$279, would not say it's cheaper.
Sorry, that was in relation to the Redemption Promo on the Samsung website where 1tb 980 pro is $329, in which case it is cheaper
980 Pro 1TB can be had for $223 from Futu…
Just keep in mind Futu temporarily (before they jacked it) had the 970 Evo Plus 1TB (better drive than this 980) for ~$149 earlier, and also came with Far Cry 6.
what are your thoughts on 970 Evo Plus 1TB vs 980 Pro 1TB ?
Fine for normal use. Can't tell the difference. I have the 970 Evo Plus 2TB and 980 Pro 2TB.
Personally, I'd be getting the latter (or the 2TB version, ideally) if I had a Gen 4 motherboard or planning to get one soon. Probably wouldn't notice much difference in speeds, if at all, at least at this stage, but I'd be buying a drive for the long term.
But I might be sticking with my i7 8700 for another year or so, so I've again been considering to pick up one of these cheaper Gen 3 drives to tide me over. Still just getting by with a 500GB SATA 860 EVO lol… but I also have multi-TB HDDs though, so it's manageable.
Just made a post on this a couple minutes ago, price reduced back to $179 before codes.
Can you claim Far Cry 6?
