    So much for SSD prices have to go up from Lexar ANZ rep.

    • AircraftFreight on 31/10/2023 - 10:54

      He is right, they will eventually increase as NAND Flash is skyrocketing although it will take some time to reflect this in actual pricing. By the end of November prices will start to rise to the correct cost.

      • netsurfer on 31/10/2023 - 11:19

        NAND flash makers are reducing output on it and cutting cost. The demand is still low. Some makers are releasing more cost effective models.

        Other NAND flash makers do have a bigger margin to move price, compared to Lexar with YMTC based NAND. NQ790 (QLC version) is coming. Anyway, demand is not high is the main issue.

        I think your definition of skyrocketing might be different from others.

  • kungfuman on 31/10/2023 - 10:56

    this works in a ps5 too.

    • Pandaboss on 31/10/2023 - 19:17

      How long has it been installed in yours and notice any issues since then compared to 1tb apart from storage?

  • teacherer on 31/10/2023 - 10:58

    No heat sink

      Correct. Only the heatsink version has a heatsink. You can find the link to it in the deal description.

            @HomeAlone: Must have missed it.

            I'm glad I could further accentuate the detail in the OP for other ozbargainers, that there is no heat sink, in case they missed it in the description like me.

    2 weeks for the heatsink version.

    Hi all, was wondering if someone could help me a bit. I've got a 990PRO which I believe has DRAM as I know that's better for boot drives but unfortunately, it's only 1TB and filling up quickly with game updates. Is there a benefit for having a storage drive like this with DRAM cache or does it not really matter for game storage? I missed the Lexar 4TB deal by a hair and just want to know what's more beneficial to look out for. Thank you very much.

    • zacka444666 on 31/10/2023 - 11:30

      You can still grab a Lexar NM790 from BPC cheaper although still not as close to that deal. It will be fine for added storage. This is work too but is more suited to a system drive and $45 more for the same size.

      Edit: Lexar from BPC also comes with a Mr Beast chocolate bar now

    • vid_ghost on 31/10/2023 - 11:57

      The DRAM will just make it feel a tini bit snappier and writing large files to the drive will be quicker as the dramless drives slow down sooner vs dram drives once the "reserved nand cache" (dram substitute) fills up…. wont change anything else.

    • netsurfer on 31/10/2023 - 12:14
      +1

      It comes down to your budget. NM790 dangles with PCIe gen 4 x4, TLC, 4TB at a decent price (i.e. not ripping you off like most mainstream SSD makers with their 4TB SSDs). However, you are still paying for PCIe gen 4 x4 (if you factored in all the past great deals).

      DRAM vs DRAMless. It is obvious, NM790 won't be at the current price if it has DRAM. NM790 does well in tests gamers care about.

    Was considering the 970 Evo Plus 2TB as I'm only Gen3, and I usually go for Samsung due to their support in Australia.

    Decided to try these. Nice price for two, and needed two. Was impressed with the TBW and the reviews in virtualised environments which is where this is going. Also impressed by the controller and NAND.

    Even the 990 Pro from a few days ago is 2TB/1200TBW. This model is twice that.

    • netsurfer on 31/10/2023 - 13:44
      +1

      The TBW has a bit of marketing involved. Samsung and WD generally keeps TBW low for their future products.

      FireCuda 530, being Phison E18 based, technically went backwards, compared to Phison E16 based products. Phison E16 based 2TB SSDs typically have 3600TBW.

      • mrhugo on 31/10/2023 - 17:50

        I did a bit of searching and you're absolutely right, a step backwards regarding TBW but a step forward for performance.

        I'll hold Seagate accountable if the drive starts failing within the TBW limits.

        I intend to use the drive for NVR and a download drive so it's going to get an absolute thrashing.

        Maybe because companies don’t leave you alone once you buy something from them :P

      • agentzero on 01/11/2023 - 10:41

        Yep spot on. I always look for the reviews from people who've actually used the product for a decent period of time.

    If you buy SSD buy Samsung.

    Is there a Ozbargain consensus on the best SSD for PS5? I'm hanging out for Black Friday sales.

    • agentzero on 01/11/2023 - 10:46

      There's a few that do the job well. Nas Compares does a pretty good job reviewing them here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZCANk6tpgk
      Although his most recent testing was last year so doesn't account for anything released after that.

  • donman92 on 01/11/2023 - 03:23

    Might not be as good as the 990 pro but still a solid NVME

  • Dalryk on 01/11/2023 - 09:17

    The 1 star reviews are pretty concerning, i also found a reddit thread with numerous people complaining about these dieing with 0 support from seagate.
