    Ah you beat me, I was just posting. What a great deal!
    I don't need it and I'm still tempted!

    • sickaunt on 27/02/2022 - 22:49

      Neither do I, but this deal is so good maybe I'll get one for PS5. I mean, this price just seems silly tbh, or it's making my head silly.
      Edit: deal lomg gone anyway, whoops.

      • MisterTree on 28/02/2022 - 00:50

        Keep an eye on it. This deal has come back from the dead once already!

    Yupz both my Amazon Prime and non Prime accounts show $7.51 delivery, not much but I thought international purchases was free if spending $49 or above on an international item?

    • ozbs25 on 27/02/2022 - 01:42

      Has to be a Prime item. Lots of stuff has delivery especially heavy or bulky stuff. Sometimes they just randomly make them Prime and that's when you cash in.

    The SN750 version $308 with free postage at Amazon,. not sure the differences with this SN850 but I'm guessing speed but another option for those on a budget,..

      Gen3 vs 4

    • he11bent on 27/02/2022 - 01:49

      massive difference between the two. For starters, the OP is a Gen 4, were the SN750 is a Gen3.
      read/write speeds up to 7000/5300MB/s (1TB model) and up to 1,000,000 IOPS (1TB and 2TB models) for the 850
      Sequential read performance: 3100MB/s. Sequential write performance: 1600MB/s for the 750

        Thankyou, got that but what about the OP's Gen4 850 on a motherboard that is only Gen 3.0 board (example x470 motherboard) using the x470 main m.2 port,.. is that main port slower to reduce the top speed performance of the OPs Gen4 850 m.2 drive? Or close maybe in performance, I know the actual PCIe ports offer different top speeds but with graphics cards even the latest new ones, I've read there is no difference using PCIe 3.0 or PCIe 4.0 for graphics cards cause they don't reach the bandwidth speeds on a PCIe 3.0 port

        Basically what I'm asking does the required bandwidth for this OPs m.2 drive (SN-850) exceed the bandwidth on a PCIe 3.0 m.2 port? I'm sure too daily use most will not notice? And I can see everyone is chasing these for the new PS5, I guess transferring games to memory of course is faster on these types of drives will be noticeable increased with shorter times over slower m.2 drives, maybe I've just answered my own original question lolz

        • spoonmugen on 27/02/2022 - 09:03

          not sure why u were downvoted..

          like there's plenty of ppl who would want to save some $$ and not get the fastest thing they can buy/if their mobo doesnt support it…
          and for those who are using it on a ps5/already know they need a gen4…

          its like putting in 98ron fuel in a nissan datsun…

          and dont the gen4 sn850 version run hot as hell vs the gen3 stuff?

          real world gen3 and gen4 would be like 1-2 secs diff boot/loading time
          maybe copying large files and video editing stuff you'll notice on a gen4 compatible system….

          If your motherboard does not have PCI-E gen 4 M2 slot, then you cannot take advantage of the speed of a Gen 4 SSD. Just stick to a Gen 3 SSD, they are cheaper.

    Just bought and Prime member with no free shipping so took fast shipping $17. This is an amazing price…..Been waiting for sub $400 and here it is.

  • BenTheBargainer2013 on 27/02/2022 - 03:08

    Is this the best drive for PS5?

    • klaatu on 27/02/2022 - 03:21

      One of the 4 best. Others are Samsung 980 Pro and Sabrent and the Seagate Firecuda. All very similar, though this drive WD Black SN850 was the choice of Mark Cerny the chief PlayStation designer for PS4 and PS5. Great drive for PS5.

      • Italkdigital on 27/02/2022 - 04:34

        I guess this is the best for bang for buck out of the 4x top drives you mentioned above for a PS5 or generally for a PC build?

        • gabos on 27/02/2022 - 11:36

          I'd say so, firecuda has a little bit higher performance but this WD is usually cheaper than the Seagate

      No heatsink with this version in case anyone was wondering.

      • alexeiw123 on 27/02/2022 - 09:05

        Is adding a heatsink for PS5 use a challenge? Is it pretty generic or need a specific heatsink to match?

    • cille745 on 27/02/2022 - 04:52

      Best yes, although pretty much any gen 4 drive performs identically to the stock PS5 drive.

      Cheapest was the PNY 2TB one for $300 last year

    As my post above as for this price really thinking of getting this,.. so question will this get full speeds on a x470 motherboard that only supports PCIe 3.0 so is my motherboard main m.2 lower in bandwidth then on a PCIe 4.0 boards m.2 main slot x570 motherboard?

    Umm this price is so good, I'm thinking still worth getting this for the 2TB capacity, speed performance I haven't searched but I'm guessing this price is around what the slower nvme 2TB drives are?

  • life-hack on 27/02/2022 - 09:35

    Finally can take a full advantage of x570 motherboard.

  • JL1 on 27/02/2022 - 10:58

    I see people mentioning getting ssd for ps5 in various threads and that it requires a heat sink. Is it that important to add a ssd to the ps5? Games take up that much space on it? Not even 1tb but 2tb one.

    Also, how will warranty work for this ssd if it's from the UK?

      WD support have told me before the warranty claim process would be no different if you'd purchased from Australia.

      Is it that important to add a ssd to the ps5?

      Only if you play lots of different games at the same time. Otherwise you can offload your old PS5 games to a HDD or external SSD (note that you can't play PS5 games directly off the external drives, you can only store them there).

      I've held out against buying an SSD for this reason. There are some games like Call of Duty Warzone which are 100GB+ so these are the main culprits for eating up all your space. A lot of the newer PS5 native games are fairly well optimised and usually smaller than this.

      With PS4 games, you can play them directly off an external HDD/SSD so no worries there.

        Thanks for your reply. I have a ps5 but just wasn't sure if it is like a given that one must add ssd to it to have enough space since so many people mention it.

It will be interesting to see if my SSD arrives any earlier than standard shipping. On many occasion they travel the exact same path from the UK, so I may have blown the $10 difference!!

      It is still very likely SSD prices are going to rise over the coming weeks / months at least partially due to the NAND contamination where they lost 6.5 exabytes of NAND. It has been all through the news. Id jump at this if you are in the market for an SSD. Obviously I could be completely wrong…
