Samsung's new 980 PRO PS5 SSD: Custom heat sink, 7GB/sec speeds
-
The new PS5-ready 980 PRO with Heatsink drive will be available October 29, 2021 and comes in two capacities:
1TB ($249.99) 2TB ($449.99) Speeds: 7,000 MB/s read, 5,100 MB/s write Interface: PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.3c Dimension: 24 mm W x 80 mm L x 8.6 mm H 5-year warrantyID: hgdg563ID: hgdjhmiGreat if your buying a new PC later this year, although they might not be available until earlier next year.
ID: hge7gpbOf course prices will drop eventually.
ID: hgdijv6Buy a ps5 then buy a 2TB 980 PRO vs buy 2 ps5’s.
Costs are way too similar but the first one gives you more space
ID: hgdwo2nSecond ps5 has more functionality than a storage drive.
ID: hgdp1fgBuy two PS5-s, sell one with a profit , making your SSD purchase bit easier.
ID: hgdyygtSeems a bit steep. I bought the 1TB 980 Pro last week from Amazon for $190 and a heatsink from eBay for $15.
ID: hgdkhjnMan I remember having to wait years for that pricing on SSD's. They were literally ca
/mortgage payments for anything above 1TB.
It starting at that is crazy.
ID: hgdnt1iA shame it's still more expensive than the series X's expansion.
ID: hgdz1i7Series X is PCIE gen 3, not gen 4.
ID: hge1d7eThere are many cheaper options at retail price, this is just one option from one manufacturer Also this one comes with a 5 year warranty, you can reuse it on your PC, and comes at the cutting edge of SSD technology.

This is just a 50$ fool's tax. And that's just retail price. I installed my 980 pro with a cheap heatsink it works quite well.
ID: hgdwtc7To be fair, this is exactly why it’s good thing it’s an open standard. Vita days were rough.
ID: hgdx5w7Yes but this is manufacturers exploiting the clueless. At least sabrent has a 20 buck one that fits the PS5 perfectly and they will sell it to you in a bundle with a 1tb ssd at 200 or so.
ID: hge80gdThis is just a 50$ fool's tax.
$250 in the US means £250 here in the UK, I can buy a 1TB 980 PRO for £165 and a £15 heatsink, this is an utter scam just to push as "PS5 expandable storage".
ID: hgeanetTo be fair, Samsung didn't start it and there were consumers asking for one.
ID: hged3v5150+10 on the heatsink and works like a charm. People pay an extra 90 for nothing
ID: hgedji3To be fair the RRP for 1TB was 230 so this is like 20 extra. But you can find it lower now I guess so it really doesn't pay to have the retail heatsink.

I bought the WD Black SN850 1TB at Bestbuy for $169 last weekend with a $18 Heatsink from Amazon.
This $249 price for the Samsung 980 Pro with heatsink is overkill.
I think the WD Black SN850 has the same 7000 MB/sec read speed but higher write speed at 5300 MB/sec
ID: hgdzbgrWhich heat sink did you buy?
ID: hgeuiayI bought this one
MHQJRH M.2 2280 SSD heatsink, Double-Sided Heat Sink, with Thermal Silicone pad for PC / PS5 M.2 PCIE NVMe SSD or M.2 SATA SSD
ID: hgexa5xIs the heat sink easy to install? I have taken apart CPUs and stuff before so I'm very comfortable with hardware, but this thing isn't something I've done before so just wondering.
ID: hgez2v9Yeah. The there are two metal parts and comes with thermal pads already cut to the shape of the nvme. You add a thermal pad to each side of the nvme and stick it between the two black metal parts. Then screw the sides together.
It comes with an extra thermal pad and screw btw.

I’m so glad I picked up a 2TB WD SN850 for $330 with a $12 heatsink before prices went back up.
ID: hge8e8oI paid $330 for my 2TB 980 Pro a couple months ago too
-
So... The regular one, with a heatsink
ID: hgddnf0But $60 more for that heatsink.
ID: hgdh8fjWhat makes that heatsink so good? I legit grabbed a £6 one off eBay and it’s served me well. Run all my games off it so far
ID: hgds1eican u vouch for this one? works well?
-
Ouch! Heatsink being included adds a fair chunk to the price.
-
Cool so those of us that bought the old Samsung 980 Pros are stuck with 5,700mb/sec speeds then? Awesome
ID: hgea2qtYep
ID: hgex036No, it's literally the exact same drive as it was before, it just comes with a very overpriced heatsink now. It's going to perform no better, the speed rating was always 7,000mb. The 5,700 read speed is a firmware issue (unclear if it is the SSD or the PS5 firmware). With any luck though, if they are advertising the speed as 7,000 for the PS5, a firmware update may be coming. Otherwise this one will get the same speed.

Just grabbed a WD SN850 1tb today off New Egg for $164.99, and a $16 heatsink. Not a bad deal at all. Really thought cheapest I get was $199-$220 without a heatsink. Glad to see these $164.99 sales on Amazon and New Egg today…For the SN 850. The Samsung alone for 1tb is about $189 right now. $25 saved to buy a heat sink if you go WD.
-
Is this one recommended?
Anyone in UK can link some SSD and heatsink from the UK Amazon site?
Still nervous about opening it up though. maybe I will wait until I need it…..
ID: hge816hCan't go wrong with this one (you're just overpaying a bit) and installing is about as hard as putting together a few Legos.
-
Gigabyte Aorus gang reporting in. Happy with my purchase and getting 6500 speeds.

sorry I'm late to the party, but I thought PS5 SSD was soldered onto mainboard at launch, is the original SSD actually removable afterall? or is there a slot to add in a second SSD ?
ID: hge22desystem update last month added support for a second ssd.
ID: hge4t5fthanks, for some reason I completely missed that they opened this up for all users. I thought it was still in Beta. Been sitting on my ssd for weeks apparently.
ID: hge2ik8So the internal SSD is soldered onto the system with no way to remove it. There's a secondary slot in the console to put external NVMe drives into. However, it was only until recently that Sony updated the system to actually support the use of these drives. They also need to meet a minimum speed requirement to be able to run native PS5 games properly.
-
Amazon has the 2TB S70 Blade for $330 with a $30 coupon discount right now. Seems like a good value (7400 MB/s read and 6800 MB/s write, low profile heatsink included).
-
Prices should be decently priced at 99 in 2-3 years when PS5 Slim releases.
Pretty pointless to buy these just like XSX storage due to insane prices vs just buying a 2nd console.
ID: hgei4o7This is my thought. To each their own. But spending almost half the price of a console to have 1-2tb extra space. No thanks
I have garbage internet and I'd still rather just uninstall and redownload games.
ID: hgevfetNot sure what ISP you have but we have Cox and they now have monthly data caps like with cellular plans. I would download maybe 5 games and that would kill a third of my data cap so be careful how often you’re downloading. That’s the reason why I’ve been wanting expanded drive so I don’t waste my ISP data constantly redownloading games.

I got that sabrent rocket 4 with the custom PS5 heatsink today. Too early to tell how it will be but the install was nice and the PS5 said 6500 read.
-
Unfornatuely I fucked up the screw
-
So basically an overpriced heatsink.
You can grab a 1tb 980 Pro & 3rd party heatsink for about $200 total right now.
-
Yall really buy expensive shit like this for your console? Just switch to PC at that point.
-
Mind your business
-
PC is a load of BS
Its literally one of the most overhyped things I have ever seen
Cool these games look slightly better but my PC is making this weird noise that I have no clue whats causing it and it could possibly damage everything in my PC and if I wanna fix it I have to look through 80 different reddit posts and message boards.
-
Tell me about how PC's also murdered your entire bloodline.

...I was more just talking about price but go off king

I mean sure if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing in terms of building it. If you're interested in that stuff and take the time to learn then you can build a solid system that will last you years with zero issues.
The gap between PC and PS5 is already significant if you can get a good GPU (which I will admit is a big if at the moment but PS5s aren't easy to find either). I have a 3070 Ti and can play pretty much anything at full 4K and 60fps which very few titles on PS5 can do.

Nobody is going to buy this shit xD
