Yes, in fact shame on the top ps5 question reply. This deal is for the ssd without the heatsink but to use in a ps5 you need the one WITH a heatsink.
Model: WDBAPY0010BNC-WRSN SKU: 6425636 for $177.99 and
Model: WDBAUY0010BNC-WRSN SKU: 6425635 for $149.99
There has to be a reason? Is one a Best Buy only sku?
WDBAUY0010BNC is a bare SSD drive sold without any pre-installed software. Whereas, WDBAPY0010BNC is not bare and backward compatible with PCIe Gen3 x2, PCIe Gen3 x1, PCIe Gen2 x4, PCIe Gen2 x2, and PCIe Gen2 x1

Wow! I somehow have both of these and the first one I got is a few weeks old and is perfect in my laptop with gen 3 (was pleasantly surprised that it worked). I got a second one last week from the same BB, but I'm now noticing it's slightly different and wasn't sure why. I'm actually trying to install it right now and having issues with my laptop trying to see it. I thought I was doing something wrong, but this makes total sense! So now I have to decide if I should return it or stick it in my PS5... but it sounds like I'll need to grab a heatsink first.
*edit: Hmmm, it seems I got it wrong. Both drives are the BAUY model and the second one has now been successfully cloned. It's odd because it sounds like these shouldn't work with a gen 3 motherboard (unless I'm wrong about that too).

Does it actually say on the coupon paper? If it doesn't mention on fine print, I don't see why not.

This Sabrent Heatsink might be better than the SN850 w/ Heatsink. You actually get airflow out of this.
