Lot's of speculation about future drives and "not much difference", but it doesn't change the fact that this price is one of the lowest seen yet in a long time for the performance, and it's a slick deal.

No other store is even close price wise.

It even includes a heatsink people pay extra for with lower priced drives for their PS5..
If anyone is on the fence, here's my total breakdown. I added the Pro Membership to my account along with the 2TB 980 Pro. My total was $243.35. I'm going to check if the firmware is up to date via Samsung Magician software, and I'll be good to go.
Thanks for the heads-up on this drive development, it wasn't even on my radar. Googled and found this

However it sounds like your "slamming the market over the next 12 months" is optimistic?

"Broad ecosystem support is likely to be an issue for some time, however, with CPU support for PCIe 5.0 from Intel, for example, currently restricted to PCIE slots and not M.2."

I ordered a 2TB and GameStop sent me a 1 TB. The 2TB is OOS now so the rep gave me a discount slightly less than the sale price for the 1TB. I wonder how this will affect the warranty if proof of purchase is required.

Yeah I thought about that quite a bit but ended up following this Samsung guide:
https://semiconductor.samsung.com...Manual.pdf
Similar process (boot from USB + temporarily put the new M.2 SSD in the single M.2 port) but prevented me to have to reinstall Windows 10 in the USB stick etc.
This took 10-15 mins.
Now the 980 Pro in my PS5 is showing a 6,500 result.
Thanks for this, other than switching everything back and forth, this was super easy
