Edit to the below - https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1bkwadm/1tb_nvme_… Seems like the WD is a better model. Maybe this is a good deal.
I'm not 100% sure. I have been doing research but keep doing the thing where I end up at the 990 Pro from samsung. It will be about 80 more when it is on super sale (ATL).
Ignoring that you can also maybe look at this -

Toms gave it a slighter better review - https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-p3-plus-ssd-rev…
Honestly, I am not sure sorry.
The SN580 at this price is the 2019 Toyota Camry of SSD's - durable, reliable, well supported, fast enough for everyday usage and without the post-pandemic inflation
The Crucial P3 Plus is well below this drive - with the inferior QLC NAND, you will notice the much slower write speeds on any decent sized files
The 990 Pro is good but at current prices, you would need to be a content creator, video editor or running intensive workstation or database workloads to justify the extra cost
Wait it out for a deal on something like the SK Hynix Platinum P41.
Got it for $180 in the past during in nov sales. Absolute beast as my boot drive.
You'd need a heat sink to use this with a ps5?
From memory PS5 needs 5500MB/s. don't quote me so happy to be corrected!
I think that’s just “recommended” speed

And I don’t think it’d get hot enough with ps5 use to need a heat sink, but happy to be corrected on that.
Thanks OP. Used $5 signup voucher to get it delivered for $144.

WARNING
please read before purchase, I have 3 of these drives all BSOD.
https://community.wd.com/t/windows-24h2-wd-blue-screens/2978…
The registry change seems to help but still acting flakey with significant delays accessing the device manager.
Just have another BSODi think mine are going back
Try this update from WD:
Internal SSD Critical Firmware Update Available for Solving BSOD on Windows 11 24H2 Update
If you don't mind, please let me know the result. I don't have one of the affected SSDs to test. Affected WD SSDs:
Why is it from Sandisk?
Mine are 500gb and 1tb
WD bought Sandisk's SSD division. The controllers and flash chip relationship are still through Sandisk.
@Gusper: If there is a firmware update for your SSDs, upgrade to the latest version and try. So this issue is not limited to 2TB SSD models. That means my SN770 1TB is affected.
You can download from WD Web site. Currently, the only release note I can find is from Sandisk Web site, but the page is informing people to download WD Dashboard.
I'm looking to upgrade my hard drive so this is looking good.
It's not urgent though, so any thoughts on whether it's worth waiting a few weeks for black Friday etc?
So I am in the market for an SSD for my Nebula prebuild (want a 2tb drive). I checked this guy out on toms https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd-blue-sn580-ssd and it isn't a glowing review. The price seems okish, but considering the RRP on this drive, I don't think it is a huge discount.
