Thanks for sharing, just bought one.
PS5 test only shows about 5000mb for reading but the box says its up to 7000.
I guess it's up to…..LOL. It's cheapest so far with heatsink.I think PS5 is bottlenecking this SSD. I read the full amount on my Gen 4 ssd motherboard.
you have to update the SSD with the latest firmware which can be found on the samsung website and require a PC which takes NVME SSD, you can ask PBtech to update it for you as well and that will give you the 7000mb speeds
would pb tech charge a fee for updating?
not sure never asked them just heard that they can do it if you ask them to
@Mo11: when I picked up, I asked him and he said it's not required because when you install it in the ps5, it needs to format anyways, losing any update that'd been completed.
@kiwiicheapies: pretty much telling you he cant be bothered, formatting the SSD doesnt remove the updates, I would recommend finding a friend who has a PC which takes NVME SSD and updating the firmware.
@coffeee: it was limited to 5500mb/s which isn't horrible. I do have a laptop with an m.2 slot but I'd have to download windows on it so upgrade it which is a bit of a pain. I'll look into updating the firmware later when I have time
samsung partner shop is 199 for those who has access…
Samsung External Partners shop shows this as $216.31 for me is the price different for each company? MZ-V8P2T0BW 980 Pro 1TB no heatsink.
sorry, you are right,I got it confused with 970 eve plus 1 tb…
whats the price for 2tb?
$426.31
any chance can get access to the partner shop :D :D looking to buy the 2TB version instead of 1TB
if you have a student email, you can get access to it. its quite easy
unfortunately I dont :(
hmm strange i have the workplace epp and student store, students only get 20% off vs workplace 25% off
@Soullessmate: Yes from what I've heard business EPP is often better than the student store. Not that surprising really especially since the student one is so easy to game
@Nil Einne: but still in my previous workplace(big telco) I am pretty sure i got my m.2 ssd 30% off so even among businesses it may vary
anyone who wants access - msg me
That's a good price. Thanks OP!!!
If only Xbox expansion was this 'cheap' sigh
