CamelCamelCamel.
Sorry, just fixed it.
Sweet.
BTW, do you have this ssd installed on your PS5? Any feedback?
I've been considering getting one for a few weeks now but not sure whether to get this or Seagate Firecuda 530 or WD Black SN850.
No I don't have any SSD installed, haven't had the need to upgrade the storage space yet in my PS5.
I understand the Seagate & WD drives are also good albeit more expensive. The Samsung 980 Pro is also another solid contender but doesn't come with a heatsink.
I came across this deal on the 7000s & wanted to share it.
Performs very well in my PS5 - only noticed some problems with loading games that were for the PS4
@Smigit: It would say problems with the application when loading or playing the game - stuff I wouldn't get when i played it on the PS4 Pro
It's it compatible with the ps5 and if so do I need a heatsink
Looking at the pics there is a pre installed heatsink on it, nice looking one too
It has a built-in Heatsink and is therefore plug & play compatible for PS5
Gigabyte calls the built-in Heatsinks 'Nanocarbon coated aluminium heatspreader'
When the price of storage is almost 70% the cost of the console it forces me to only keep 4 of my most played games installed and I won't remove one until it's finished
Gigabyte had a 2TB Gen4 AORUS.2 SSD NVMe, I remember with a large gold heatsink, this different model again?
Edit: Found it, this was $373,. 2TB Gen4 AORUS m.2 NVMe same as one posted here?
https://ozb.me/o/2jLQ?u=tw
yeah, this one here has a sequential read speed up to 7000 MB/s and sequential write speed up to 6850 MB/s. The one you posted is 5000 / 4400 MB/s
That's the Aorus 1st gen 4 nvme (copper), while this post is the 2nd gen (black). On paper, it's 5000 and 7000 read respectively. On PS5 benchmarks, it's 5600 and 6400 respectively.
Wow that's fast,. why does it beat its on specs in a PS5?
No idea, I have the 2TB copper drive and that is the actual benchmark when I installed it: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/271554/93992/nvme.jpg
I have yet to see a 7000 rated drive that actually reached that theoretical max based on others feedback. For me, so far so good with the slower drive, never had issues with it. Also played ratchet and clank rift apart which is one of the heavier games (IO-wise) and it was smooth.
I have the 1TB version of this. Comes with a heat sink. Works well.
i have the 7000s 1tb
the life of the drive has dropped 5% in 6 months (using it as my windows drive)
for comparison, my samsung 970 evo was brought in 2018 and has lost 4% life
(stats from hwinfo64)
I have an old enterprise grade intel ssd from 2012, 10 years old as c: and lost 10% life in that time with 24/7 use
Quality of dram is different for consumer grade nvmes.
Enterprise grade SSD lasts longer because it tends to use either SLC or MLC NAND. Consumer grade SSD however tends to use the lower quality TLC NAND or in modern times there is QLC NAND which doesn't last as long. It's however cheaper so TLC or QLC NAND ends up on consumer SSD.
Might want to consider the Crucial P5 Plus. Lacks a heatink but it's $461.00 https://www.amazon.com.au/Crucial-Plus-PCIe-NAND-6600MB/dp/B… and uses Micron's 176L NAND compared to 96L on this. (It's a bit cheaper on Amazon.com via a coupon, but don't think that is making it to Australia unfortunately.) While the Phison E18 seems to have better performance in a number of areas compared to the proprietary Micron DM02A1 controller, the 176L will often make up for it e.g. see https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-p5-plus-m2-nvme… (Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus is another Phison E18 + Micron 96L).
Note when looking at reviews, make sure you look at the 2TB, the 1TB is lower performing due to fewer dies.
comes up $469 for me on amazon…i have prime though
Price & Store in the title please!
Had no idea it was $499 & was being sold on Amazon until I hit the link
