Per CCC, best price yet, equal to holiday / Black Friday pricing last year.
*Edit: I can find no indication that the controller swap affects this 2TB model.

Note that Samsung potentially swapped the original controller (reported on 1TB model) but Amazon still lists the drive with original Phoenix controller. However the change is likely helpful for most users due to pairing with a larger SLC cache, only hurting performance on sustained writes beyond SLC cache size (115 GB on replacement 1TB model; ?? for 2TB). New controller may run hot also.

No. Ps5 must be gen4. and u should wait anyway. The extended storage is in beta. And sony is using players as free testers. For real. Wait for the bugs and errors to be worked out.

Still waiting to replace my 1TB NVMe SSD I bought three years ago for $69. Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron stop colluding to milk the consumer at 1-2TB kkthx. We are ready to be cheated at 8-32TB.

Crap, too bad it's not a deal on the drive I've been waiting for, the 980 Pro. Need to be patient.

think you would notice a difference of your operating system being on a 970 evo plus vs 980? I am talking about gaming primarily.

In for one. Ended up getting it from Amazon since I've had a $100 GC I've been holding onto for awhile. Thanks OP, finally moving on up from my 1TB drive!

Quote from SorrowNightshade :
question, if I have a OS on my current laptop, and an unfilled NVME(samsung 970) in my 2nd slot. is there any reason why I can't just turn laptop on, and use the "samsung magical" to clone the entire OS from the already installed SSD onto my new SSD?

that would be a lot easier than fresh install, I don't have anything on my pc except a few games, already wiped all the bloatware and everything.

then all I would have to do is simply turn off pc, swap the cards around, OR, go to bios and have it boot from the new SSD and I could wipe the old SSD/slower one and use for storage.

If my current SSD is C drive, can I clone the 2nd drive as "c drive as well"? or will that be an issue.
I did this on a laptop about 6 years ago and it worked fine, but I can't remember the exact cloning software I used. It had come with a pair of small, unified m.2 drives and a standard HDD (which I swapped to an SSD). I like to pull my storage out and clone it periodically with a standalone device for sata, but the OS was on the m.2 drives, so I moved the OS and it worked perfectly.

One thing to keep in mind is to not have both drives connected after you do the cloning so as to avoid conflicts in Windows.

OT: I don't currently have an offline duplicator for NVMe drives, but I'm looking at this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S5CV7FS/

Does this come with a heat sink? Or could you recommend a compatible one?

I saw around midnight most places did this price, but I didn't know the controller may be different. I put my sealed 1tb one up for sale and was going to get this since I am using an itx and mobo with only 2 slots and going to sue a 980 pro for the other slot... But now you people have me worried, especially since this is the same price various places so amazon may not be where I get it from.

I paid a bit less around BF from Samsung but that was utilizing cashback from a certain site. This is a great deal and a solid drive.
