52 available at time of posting. Next cheapest in AU seems to be $299
And yes, you can use it in your PS5…
CamelCamelCamel.
No heatsink though
Runs hotter.. and doesn't have a heatsink either
Good price for that one too! I'm done for a while with SSD after I got the insane deals for a 4TB Sabrent for $213 the other week (plus a couple of 1tb for $44ea)
How did I miss the 4TB deal :-(
yeah im spewing i missed those deals. They went too fast.
And if I told you those weren't even the best deals that day …😳
I got the one with the heatsink directly from Samsung for $230 recently during the sales.
Will this work in a Microsoft Surface Pro 9?
No, you need a M.2 2230, this is a M.2 2280.
Got the 2tb Samsung when I got the ps5.
I'm now eying off a 4tb. I've reached maximum capacity of the 2tb…. have had to be more selective on what to keep vs what to delete. Obviously once I've finished a game it goea uninstalled…
How does returns and warranty work with Amazon US?
If there is issue, you have to post it back to them, but Amazon will pay for the postage
Would an SSD with Heatsink fit in a laptop or can the heat sink be removed if not?
It depends on the laptop, whether the SSD slot of the laptop has a tight space or not.
Yes, the heat sink can be removed but it will void the warranty if you didn’t do a clean job. Also there’s a potential to damage the drive if you’re not careful. If you’re not sure whether your laptop would fit then get one without a factory heat sink.
Thanks!
Yes I'll keep an eye out for non-heatsink version.
My laptop currently has a 512GB SSD without heatsink and I wanted to upgrade to 2TB.
with nvme is there really a big difference if you're just using it to store large games? eg cyberpunk, bladur's gate
No, but they're so cheap now you might as well get one.
with the way the size of games are going, ill hold out for a 4tb sale
Get one with DRAM for your OS/apps and cheaper DRAMless 4tb for your games drive.
@povogamer: How can you tell (without going to the manufacturer's product page)?
I can't find anything about DRAM or even RAM on the Amazon product page.
Worth waiting for boxing day sales or grab one now?
Yes
Want to add an additional ssd to my Techfast built computer. Uses a Gigabyte Aorus Elite Z790M AX mobo, which I think only comes with a single Heatsink?
Will I be looking for an ssd like this that comes with a heatsink?
Thanks
You can buy one like this or buy one without a heatsink and install your own. Personally I moved the included drive from the techfast build into a non-heatsink slot and put a faster drive under the heatsink but that is a little bit extra work you might not want to worry about.
But I will need a heatsink? Thank you.
Noob question: just ordered one for my PS5, then saw in the new thread for the 990 Pro to update the firmware on a PC before running on the PS5.
Is that also required for this 980 Pro?
Edit: doing some Googling it sounds like earlier versions of the 980 Pro had issues and needed an update, but newer versions /should/ be ok. Unfortunately I don't think I currently have a way of directly connecting it to my PCs (old desktop and newer laptop) to check
Give it a go and let us know…
that was probably the one i put that comment in. You should be safe now, but always check :-)
Was confirmed on the deal I bought mine for the 990 Pro that the firmware issue is now resolved
If only my asus laptop order wasn’t cancelled 😞
Thanks OP, will make a nice addition to the kids’ PS5 Christmas present.
The Crucial T500 was only $151 on Amazon for 2TB a couple weeks ago so would probably wait for something similar to that.
Black Friday sale now on - $143.16.
Not bad but I can't bring myself to buy it since I accidentally saw the Samsung 990 2TB for $200 AUD on Amazon about 3 weeks back (around BF/CM timeframe).
I didn't buy it and when I checked the next day the price was $250.
Price is currently $210 however… which is teeeeempting…. https://www.amazon.com.au/Internal-Expansion-Graphics-MZ-V9P…
