The lowest price for the 2TB without heatsink
has had the exact model in my PC for a month, no issues so far. Looks to be also compatible with PS5.

Edit: also at BB but slightly different model

You do need to buy a $15 heat sink for sure.

I put these in every PC I build, a bit faster than the Samsung pro in most tests I've done.

Subjectively speaking, they seem faster.

How so? There aren't any specific SSDs made JUST for PS5s but as long as they meet the requirements then they are good for PS5s. This SSD seems to be PCIe Gen 4 and has 7000MBs read speeds which meets the PS5s requirements, just gotta make sure you install a heat sink on it

This drive works great on a PS5. I have had the same one in my ps5 for the last few months with a heatsink, and it seems to work faster than the internal one of the ps5.

Its as fast as a 980 pro but some reviews say the sn850 is slightly better. I wanted a Seagate FireCuda 530 7300mbps with twice the durability but I have never seen it under 500$ for the 2tb. Anyways I got the wd sn750 2tb as a gift which was 250$ on amazon.ca, I was going to buy the 980 pro 2tb for 350$ on amazon.ca before. The sn750 read speed is about 3200mbs but I can't seem to get the write speed over 1200mbps. I read users online having the same issue with it and with the 980 pro. They said its firmware related and wd/samsung will release a firmware update.
