    shows $123.18 for me

    • Alvin9 on 01/01/2024 - 21:46

      Is $123 the lowest price ?

      The “options” are wrong.
      Should be 500gb, 1tb and 2tb.
      Deal and price is right. Check the description for correct size.

  • Laz167 on 01/01/2024 - 21:47

    some errors in the title and selection. title saying 1tb but selection says 2tb @$123. similar for the 2tb and 4tb selection @234.

    • internet-stranger on 01/01/2024 - 21:48

      There is no 4tb model (currently)
      Options are wrong so confirm in the description

        Also reviews of 4tb show as 2tb in screenshots

      For light use or storage, you can get the budget NV2 or similar for around this price or cheaper when on sale. That's what I do.

  • mc7alazoun on 01/01/2024 - 22:12

    I ordered he 4TB for $175.68 but I can see that there's a mismatch between the titles and the options. What's going to happen in this case? Is $175.68 a good price for 2TB no heatsink though?

    • p3t0r on 01/01/2024 - 22:16

      When mine arrived from the November deal, I complained to Amazon via chat and ended up getting them to refund me the difference to what the 2TB price was. So ended up paying ~$125 each :)

      • mc7alazoun on 01/01/2024 - 22:17

        Thanks mate!

      • mc7alazoun on 01/01/2024 - 22:19

    So I've got a PS5 put away for my lads birthday next month, I want to get a SSD but I'm a bit confused around the whole heat sink requirement. Would appreciate a run through.

    • bdo207 on 01/01/2024 - 23:17
      +4

      Here's a bit of an explainer

      From everything I've read and seen, a heatsink is strongly recommeded for PS5 SSDs. You can either buy an SSD with built-in heatsink, or buy each separately and put it together yourself. I opted for the former for pure convenience and to minimise the chances of me stuffing something up haha.

      I went for the Samsung 980 Pro (2TB) as I got an epic deal on it ($143). Another that I see regularly recommended is the Corsair MP600. Apparently there's a "ceiling" in which the PS5 won't be able to use the full capability of some better/faster SSDs, so just make sure you're not paying more for something unnecessarily.

      Hope this helps!

    im confused it seems to be mislabeled, the 4tb is actually 2tb, the 2tb is actually 1tb, the 1tb is actually 500gb.

    so there actually is no 4tb?

    Thanks, ordered with the kool aid. Anyone know how I can transfer my OS to this one when it arrives?

    Would it even be worth doing for a samsung 980 pro to this one?

      I'd just add this to a second drive, save the time and the hassle.

      Literally no noticeable difference in regular use. You’d only do it if you want the larger size.

    Yeah, but nah. Not better than 990 pro.

    I didn't realize you could purchase KoolAid from Amazon. For years I have heard the expression "Drinking the KoolAid", but I have never been blessed to travel to America and experience it firsthand. Now I can without leaving Australia.

    Sounds like a great high performance SSD. 2TB should be sufficient for most people (I found 1TB to be a bit constricting).

      The slightest bit worse than the 990 pro, better than 980 tho. I cancelled my order for the 990pro and got this instead. Only for gaming, they basically the same

    • vid_ghost on 02/01/2024 - 10:38

      The only thing i like about Samsung is the SSD software :)… you will never be able to tell the difference in performance even from Gen3 SSD's to Gen4 with the windows and games we have now … once it loads into system memory * DDR4, DDR5 , its all about the CPU and Memory speed's for system snappiness :)

      I posted twice, both in the top 10 comments explaining they would get the lesser model.
      The details are all correct, just the top “model” was wrong. I have argued with Amazon about it before on a different listing and 3 different reps all said the details are correct, they won’t refund/credit or escalate.
      Hopefully people here have better luck.

          It will tell you when you try and cancel.
          You can also return item as “not described” just need to drop off at post office and they will fully refund. No live chat requires.

          If you try to cancel and you bought another item to get the extra 12% discount then it will say "Your item has not been cancelled - Because this item was part of a multi-item promotion, it cannot be cancelled at this time."
          Might have to wait for it to get delivered and then return it.
          Mine still hasn't even shipped.
          I bought from the Lexar NM790 4TB as well. That arrived today and I'm already using it. So I will refund the Crucial T500 once it arrives.
