How long is the PBGLORIOUS shipping code valid until?
Don't think I've seen that one listed on here yet.
Their email said until the 23rd, but they seem to leave the codes active until a new code comes out.
Thanks, OP. What a great price. Just ordered the 970 EVO Plus 1TB.
Good price to extend your ps5 storage. Although will need to find a heat sink
Let us know if you do
this type should be fine. i use this for all my other drives.

@ace310: yea, i wasnt sure how much space the ps5 has so i suggested the thinnest one as you want to put the metal cover back on.

Yes. You will need a heat sink for a ps5
Well I know PS5 needs PCIGen 4 SSD's and not Gen3 SSD like this Samsung 970 EVO - so might not be supported at all if you plug this in to your PS5!
The cheapest would be Gen4 is the slowest - $89

I would still not recommend it rather the below at the least
$109 Crucial P3 Plus 1TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD which is just short of 500MB's of Sony's official guidelines - But it just works - https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HDDCRU34110/Crucial-P3-Plus…
$138 Samsung 980 Pro 1TB M.2 NVMe Internal SSD - https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/HDDSAM980600/Samsung-980-Pr…
Which ones better for gaming 970 EVO Plus or 980?
I'd say 970 EVO Plus. Here's a thread on the topic:
https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/ro9t8d/samsung_97…
Someone says that the 980 runs cooler, which may be important in devices with poor cooling, like laptops.
970 Evo plus has dram cache as well!
I was running an external 970 Plus as my boot drive on imac and had all sorts of problems. The damn thing ran so hot the computer crashed a lot. Swapped it for a cheap sata Lexar with no dram and it runs like a dream
Yea there are issues with samsung trim on mac. Not a recommend product in the hackintosh community.
Also in a external drive may clash (mine did) with their own controller so its best for direct pcie access.
Also need to use samsung magician to update firmware or it may die prematurely.
I had issues with windows but it seems to work fine after fw update.
You can run SSDs on the older mac with a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure and they will trim but with a newer Mac with USB C you cannot use trim, only if the external enclosure is thunderbolt3 not just USB3 which makes it's an expensive option as a boot drive. With windows you can manually trim over USB but not with Apple.
Ordered a 2TB 990 Pro which is cheap now too.
990 Pro 1TB = $199 (usually $219)
990 Pro 2TB = $339 (usually $368)
Doesn't seem that cheap.
That is it's all time low.

Cheap is relative.
