It's an NVME you'll never see and ideally should forget about.

Both are fine, go for whatever brand or packaging that excites you during unboxing!

I went for Samsung just because their magician software is excellent, and their warranty if ever needed, would be easier than WD. Just an opinion and gut. However, never had a quality SSD fail, and don't want to jinx myself.

Whatever performance difference there is between them, is technical and no one will notice any difference. If you do, then you are the .001% of a true computer pro with a very specific use case 👍

Difference should be negligible. For ps5 use, the actual ps5 architect Mark Cerny's persoanl drive is the sn850.

I just found the deal and ordered one. I thought I would be able to post my first real slick deal in like 15 years, but you beat me. HAHA! The price changed from 220 to 180 while I was thinking about it.

The SN850X with heatsink is the same price…. So hard to choose between that and the 980 Pro.

Thanks. I'm buying samsung as well for the same reasons. All other drives are samsung and I like that I can manage the drive easily, and you could use it for other applications besides the PS5.

But is $250 for the 2tb 980 pro with the heatsink a good deal?

I'm not building my new computer for a couple of months. Good idea to just grab this now and sit on it?

The 980 Pro is an older drive and has been surpassed by several others (including the 990 Pro from Samsung). Having said that it's still ridiculous good and more than enough for most people. I used one in a PS5 until recently and it performed excellently.

The list price of $379.99 is inflated and false. This drive always sells for $200, never $379.99.
