Usually $599, includes free expedited shipping, ranked #1 by gamesradar for ps5 upgrade, version without the heaksink is another $40 more expensive (usually it’s the cheaper version).

Typical price for similar models (WD SN850) is $469 though stock is hard to find. Great option for PS5 storage upgrades.

  It's an affiliate ad page so not relevant to anything. There's no functional difference on a PS5 between SN850, 980 Pro or this Firecuda 530.

      Though you’re unlikely to push it that hard this comparison does show an advantage for the firecuda over the black.. https://nascompares.com/seagate-firecuda-530-vs-wd-black-sn8…

      Though they are much of a muchness, I was going to get the SN850 until I found this deal.

        That's just spec comparisons, no?

        Here's a review, and by 'functional' I meant noticeable, it's extremely unlikely a normal person would actually notice the difference between the drives (especially since they kinda trade blows) so it's effectively always best to just get whatever's cheaper, which was my point & presumably hybroid's too.

        Edit: To be clear, I wasn't dismissing the deal — just saying that I believe calling it #1 is an oversell.

          @eepykate: Whether you can tell the difference between a few microseconds or not in real world usage is the reason benchmarks exist. And this is the fastest available ssd so its numero uno.

        Here are actual file read speeds for Firecuda vs SN850 vs 980 Pro, actually tested by Toms hardware.

          @Sleepycat3: You know that's Q1T1 based read (which is a useful test) compared to a lot of the quoted Q4/Q8 figures of 7000+. It's still sequential read though.
