I want one so bad, but can't justify the nearly $1k price tag.
Heatsink is $30USD extra.
All time low price according to CCC.
Hopefully one of you folks out there looking for one of these in particular will be quite happy about this deal.

Thanks to whichever mod is fixing my crappy titles :-)
Once these get to $500 is whe I'll be looking to get one. Too much at nearly 1K. Here is hoping in a couple of years.
Hmmm I might have a new goal - a quick google shows that the PS5 can accept 8tb SSD's (previously thought that 4tb was the maximum) That would be quite a few games that can be installed…………………………
And when the next 10, 12, 16TB drives come out the PS5 will support them too.
Then I'd (eventually) spend the money to upgrade to the bigger capacity ssd. I just purchased 4x of the Kingston 3000 drives that were featured in this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/878665 - nice little side upgrade for my OS and secondary SSD slot in 2 of my current laptops.
Recently learned that a lot of modern motherboards come with M2 heatsinks included. So It's better to go without the WD one and use the MB heatsink.
The motherboard heatsinks are very thin. Not much thermal mass. I prefer a taller profile heatsink, or using one of those NVMe bifurcation cards that have a fan cooler on them.
you'll find that the mobo heatsinks are variably not better or worse.
On my b550i aorus pro ax - I threw the heatsink away and use the heatsinks that come with the NVME drives.
e.g., the nm790 lowers the temp - my mobo heatsink was increasing heat.
this was $936 earlier today from Amazon Germany via Amazon AU can use 10% discounted gift cards brings it down to $842
also could use cashback and no messing around with currency conversion
i'd wait keep an eye on Amazon AU, Amazon UK & Germany via AU seem to go up and down in price throughout the past few days i've often seen it between $930-$995
How many cods can this fit?
