They work fine in notebooks with thermal pads or nothing, but that’s with some airflow. Depends on your clearance and if the gpu is going to cook it.

I ran a gen 4 drive with a cheap Amazon heatsink behind my 4080 and it was totally fine. At the very worst it will throttle during a really long transfer but I tried explicitly to get that to happen with ssd benches and I couldnt

Welp.....I know what I'll be buying today. An extra 1TB for $62 is a no brainer.

Seeing is how this thread came back up, the Samsung 990 is the fastest Gen 4 drive I've used, but if you can score a 980 two terabyte for cheap, that's the one to get for the ps5. I have 2 990s in my PC right now. The big difference is write speed. 990 really gets just under 6900 mbps for writes, but read speed is more important for gaming.
So if there is a two terabyte 980 floating around out there for dirt cheap, you can safely pick that up for your PS5.

Crucial p5 plus 2tb is going for 89 dollars on Amazon is that a good enough drive for a ps5 ? It says it's compatible with PS5
89 dollars for 2tb is insanity

Hopefully prices will dip a bit more when black friday comes around. Want to upgrade my PS5 SSD from 1TB to 4TB.

bought the 980 pro, then the 990 pro went on sale for cheaper (~$160) so i returned the 980 for the 990.
then the 980 went on super sale for like ~$90... and i considered returning the 990... but i got too lazy.
(all prices for 2tb, no heatsink)
probably liquidating stock because the pci-e 5.0 ones are around the corner.

Just notice that you have to add an heatsink to that.

The latest WD_BLACK version released officially (specifically licensed) for the PS5 is the SN850P; it's even newer than the SN850X: https://www.westerndigital.com/prod...ck-sn850p-nvme-ssd-for-ps5#WDBBYV0040BNC-WRSN
It now supports 4TB with heatsink included, which is also redesigned compared to the previous version. It's faster than Cerny's neurotransmitters and you can download the whole PSN Store and brag about it.
I'll probably buy the 2TB version during Black Friday this year.

I bought this on my way home from work. Installation was a breeze.

I'll likely buy the 4TB for a PC build I'm doing, I was going to get one for a build I did a week ago or so, but be cause its a form factor and the motherboard has the slot on the back, I had no room for one with a heatsink and it just made no sense to get something that expensive, with little to no cooling, so I was like "fuck it" lol
With the H1 V2 case, the riser cable and GPU basically cover the back part of that board, so its hard to fit any heatsink there and you'd need to take apart like 3 things to get to it lol Got a 4TB SSD for like $170 and called it a day.
So we'll use a 4TB NVME for the other build I'm doing and for the PS5 if the price is right.

Ima wait until its cheaper! lol
My fucking greed knows no bounds! lol
I'm just not playing enough to justify it right now and beat and delete is working just fine for me. By the time I feel I need it for real, we'll have much larger game files and that price will be way cheaper. We going to do the financially right thing here.

I got the firecuda 2tb for same price, far better endurance.

That’s a great price but sadly here the 2TB without heatsink never went under 150€ (heatsink was like 200€) according to Keepa.
Endurance wise I don’t think I’ll ever reach the limit this SSD has (687GB/day), and even then it will probably get replaced next year and this P41 will go in an external enclosure and serve as a Time Machine for my computers.

I finally got a 2TB to upgrade the 512 originally installed. Price is just decent now.

If the opportunity is right I’ll upgrade my ps5 digital edition console.
When I was younger I remember upgrading my ps3 80gb to something bigger.
