Guys

I have a chance to score a WD SN850 2TB for € 291 or Firecuda 530 1TB for € 222.

Firecuda 530 seems to be a lot quicker on Write speed but its only 1TB. What would you guys recommend?

I'd go with WD SN850 if I were you, and it's 2TB for not a lot more money than 1TB FireCuda.

Buigger is better. Surprised you even needed to ask this. WD one is fine.

Really just get the cheapest M.2 that meets the PS5 spec. It's not like games are ultra critical data anyway.

1TB isn't much nowadays. Write speed isn't that important for gaming. I'd go with the WD.

The WD for sure

I’m surprise you have that doubt.

For these prices 2TB is a non brain.

There is also far cheaper options than the WD. Get whichever is cheapest that meets the spec. Im sure there will be some good BF sales that will make me regret spending $300 on my TeamGroup 2TB.

The WD SN850 2TB

WHy is the 2TB 530 not an option ? Price ? If its for the PS5 go for the 850 if its for a PC go for the 530.

Reliability is more important on the PC sidefor the OS and stored data. Currently Sony does not allow the OS to be stored on the added drive. but the saves are stored on the web so if the drive fails all you beed to do is redownload.

If sonly ever allows the OS to be run from the drive I would go with a 530

P.S. Listen to this guy.

WD SN850 is solid drive, also there is hardly anything which utilizes this speed. Unless you have some bulky ass CPU.

The WD 2TB at that price is a no brainer. Instant buy for me.

What are you using it for?

I'll never buy Seagate after all their years of shoddy HDDs. SSDs might be different but they are still not getting my money.

Western Digital has always been reliable.

2TB all the way. I am awaiting my Samsung 2TB for the PS5. Can finally store more games on my console!
