      I bought this for my PS5.

      I'm currently using the (PS5) beta firmware and one of the enabled features was the activation of the m.2 port. I wasn't lacking in available space as there is not a real lot of ps5 games released that actually interest me, I was getting by with my 4tb external drive and the stupidly small amount of internal SSD space on the console itself but I figured I would go ahead and buy a drive anyway.

      Sony recommend you attach a heatsink to your nvme drive if it doesn't come with one as standard,

      After looking at factory heatsink nvme drives specifically the WD-Black SN850 1tb, it became apparent you pay a heafty price on top for the heatsink, At the time of writing it was £150 for the 1tb WD black and £235 for the same drive with a heatsink attached, probably hiked in price due to a Sony guy tweeting it was his drive of choice.

      Anyway I decided to buy the 980-pro (this drive). It was marginally more than the SN850 and I'm presuming other people were showing interest as Amazon's price algorithm jumped from £176 to £188 (then back down to £179 immediately after I bought it).. thanks for that, just my luck.

      The heatsink I paired it with was the 'EZDIY-FAB M.2 2280 heatsink' (ASIN: B086X79CSN).
      £11.99 at the time of writing this.

      Installing the heatsink and installing the drive was really straight forward, it fits in the bay nice and snug and the cover screws back down fine.
      The drive installs (into the PS5) Samsung label/chip side up (facing you/installation door), so install the heatsink accordingly.

      I have a external harddrive for PS4 titles which I will continue to use.
      I moved all my ps5 titles from the console SSD to the m.2 and set the console to install to that drive from here on in.

      I have been playing pretty long and hard today and not noticed any laggy frames (apart from a little screen tearing on AC: Valhalla, which happened occasionally when using the built in SSD)
      Overall load times and performance is no different than the Sony SSD.

      I do think the prices are outrageous, £350/450 for 2tb and the best part of a grand for a 4tb, hopefully the prices will come down in time, but as demand increases (when the firmware goes public). It wouldn't surprise me if they get worse before they get better.

      The SN850 is a little cheaper (none heatsink) and maybe a better choice.
      Both drives offer the same limited warranty (5years or 600TB written, whichever comes first).

      I can't think of anything else to say, I should of taken a few pictures before I closed/plugged in my ps5. I will maybe open it up and take a few in the next few days..

      Edit: There seems to be misinformation floating around regarding the removal of the Samsung sticker, It's my opinion that you should not do this for two reasons..
      1. It's a thermal sticker designed to redistribute the heat, so it's only going to help the tape/heatsink.
      2. More importantly removing this will void your (Samsung) warranty.
      Of course in the end the choice is yours.

      Buy with confidence!
      I hope this review helps in some way.

      Duidelijk snelheids verbetering geobserveerd, hoewel mijn laptop niet het maximale uit deze SSD kan halen
      Gesupport door Samsung Magician, dus de performance (degradatie) kan regelmatig gechecked worden
