I'm currently using the 2TB version in my PS5, and it works like a charm.

I bought this Samsung drive for the PS5 as well. After doing a lot of research, there are a ton of options between $10-20. Sabrent recently released a PS5 heatsink cover that works for most SSDs in the M.2 slot and it replaces the factory SSD cover which is pretty handy. It seems to preform fairly well based on a lot of youtube reviews and the one I ended up purchasing since its a very large heatsink compared to all the other heatsinks on the market.

Sabrent M.2 NVMe PS5 heatsink (SB-PSHS) - ~$20

MHQJRH NVMe Heatsinks for M.2 2280mm - ~ $11-14
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R2JQRDP

Another popular option is the MHQJRH heatsink at Amazon, but can be found under other rebranded names. It's another option that is cheaper at around $11-14 but to get the most use of out it, you'll need to keep the PS5 SSD cover off to get proper airflow. While people may say Sony recommends keeping the cover on for negative air pressure, for the SSD itself, temperatures are far better with the cover off.

I'm an absolute noob about this stuff. If I wanted to buy one of these for my PS5, does this have a heat sink included that everyone says you need to get? Or would I need to buy one separately?

Thanks!
Separate. Plenty you can find on Amazon for $15 or less.

you would need to buy a heatsink seperately, pretty easy to install.
Heres one:

The Gammix is definitely a better deal.

I picked up 5 of these bad boys last night. Already got some from Amazon, tried to get them to price match (with the $40 off code). They said they could not. I said I could not leave $500 on the table (down from the original price of $379)

Just buy a third party heat sink, even before the discount, their drive with the heatsink was priced too high

Is that drive better than the post-FW update 980 Pro?
Agreed. Would be nice to see a good offer on the 850's. Picked up a 2TB a while back and it's really good but that price could use some work

WOW! A Pro version and it's not 3 times higher than the EVO version seen elsewhere on the front page.
