Another deal on the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB - Cheapest ever price from Amazon US

These are very fast M.2 NVMe Gen4 drives, a little slower than the WD SN850 but also apparently run cooler.

Should be fine for the PS5 but you will have to source your own heat sink.

    Note that the 2TB WD Black SN850 is currently $403.86 also from Amazon US.

    Decent price for a 980 Pro 2TB……..picked up one of these SN850 2TB couple of weeks back. Hopefully prices will continue to fall.

  • I'd buy one but I'm out of M.2 and PCIe slots.

    • Time to get a Thunderbolt 3/4 external housing! (40Gbps isn't too bad).

  • I have a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite motherboard, specs on website says: Dual Ultra-Fast M.2 with PCIe Gen3 x4 interface

    Does that mean I have to get a Gen 3 m2 drive and this Gen 4 won't work?

      It will work, just at Gen 3 speeds

      • thanks, guess it'd only be good for future proofing then if I got a gen 4

        I'll have to research the speed differences between the different generations

        cheers!

          Gen 3 caps out at around 3500 MB/s, Gen 4 at around 7000 MB/s.

            @dogsryummy: shit that's a massive difference, damn my mobo sucks…

              @Lionheart: However, in real life usage other than transferring a huge file from a Gen4 to a Gen4, or reading a 100GB raw video file into editing software, there is very little different in loading speeds especially for games.

              • @Sleepycat3: oh thanks, I didn't know that, that's excellent information

            • +2

              @Lionheart: While the difference is big on paper, you are HIGHLY unlikely to see a difference in day to day use. Normal use depends on random reads/writes not sequential, which have reached a point of diminishing returns.

              Sequential speeds are only good for copying 500 GB of files and showing off in benchmarks.

                @dogsryummy: yup.. but for content creators who work on large assets like photo or video, it does help shave some waiting time off the clock.

                  @gizmomelb: Yeah of course, but there's a thing with tech where if you have to ask whether you need it, chances are you probably don't need it.
