Sony PS5 wont boot if 2nd SSD installed, so i think this is a bit of potentially misleading marketing, at least at the minute while Sony havent released their approved SSD list.

Over priced 👌

Apparently the PS5 is sold at loss, what’s expensive isn’t the hardware.

No the 'best alternative to the 980 Pro' is the WD SN850. It's not a cheap alternative, but it is unquestionably the best. It's also, most definitely not a 'bargain'.

I have its little brother 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 and it is freaking perfect.
It is currently attached to my Xbox Series X via an ASUS ROG Strix Arion USB3.2 GEN2 Type-C (10 Gbps).
It works just fine, heavy games like GTA opens within ~5-7 seconds. COD, Forza, Quick Resume, you name it.No issues whatsoever. It does usually gets pretty hot tho. My previous SSD enclosure had a pretty sh1t chipset as well.
I keep everything on top of a laptop cooling pad, it runs cold and nothing to complain at all.- 0

For the matter "by opens within" I mean from selecting the game to open and actually playing it :)

This seems like such good value compared to other brands.
It says “PS5 compatible” - I thought they hadn’t released their approved list yet?
