        Have you made up your mind yet?

        Sony - Which M.2 SSDs can be used with a PS5 console?

        Sequential read speed - 5500 MB/s or faster is recommended

          @Look Up: There are numerous testing sites that have tested the WD SN770 on PS5 and had zero issues, Corsair has the PRO LPX version of the drive you have listed for PS5 - I cannot see anyone who has tried to one you listed in a PS5?

          Not sure why you are upset,, the drive isn't PS5 compatible………

            @the-fuzz: No one is upset

            You have been negged because you are misleading people with the wrong info

            The only requirement for an SSD to work in a PS5 is a Gen 4 controller

            Even the worst Kingston NV2 with 3500MB/s sequential read works in the PS5

            the drive isn't PS5 compatible………

            You are out of your depth, stop before you mislead even more people

            @the-fuzz: WD doesn't officially state recommended for PS5 for WD SN770 because it is officially below 5500MB/s. So using your strict definition, SN770 should not be "recommended".

            As for but if someone reported it works with PS5 then it is fine, well, the problem with that is NV2 QLC version also works in PS5. We already knew quite a few OZBers using below 5000MB/s SSDs and some have put QLC SSDs in their PS5s and they are happy.

            Digital Foundry tested one of the slowest PCIe gen 4 x4 SSD way back and reported no issue in gaming. This SSD is clearly much better to it. Lastly, SN770 is DRAMless. While in majority of gaming type of benchmark tests, it does really well, there are tests which DRAMless SSDs all crumble and DRAM SSDs led the pack in those tests.

  I would never use Corsair SSD again, I had one of these I used as a boot drive that I had to return after about 2 years. Started experiencing a lot of instability, and eventually it couldn't even boot to Windows so I salvaged my files and returned it to Amazon.

      Yep, I messaged them to ask about the warranty/RMA process and they just gave me a return label and refunded me.

      5 year warranty. Amazon cbf going through the manufacturer most of the time, they'll just refund and then take it up with the manufacturer in the background. Customer gets a replacement, they are happy, they spend more

      SSDs purchased through Amazon should go through Amazon for warranty purpose.

      Traditional storage brands (Samsung, WD and Seagate) have RMA departments here, but they will most likely not support any non-AU stocked products. All other SSDs (Kingston, PNY, SP, Corsair etc…) need to go through the sellers for the entire warranty period. That's why, in general, you want to pick a dependable seller when buying an SSD.

      I just returned an Intel SSD about 4.5 years after I bought it from Amazon US via au. Started a chat, said it stopped working within the 5 year warranty, they said sorry, here's a parcelpoint return label, you'll get a full refund once we get notified it's been dropped off. They asked literally no questions and I got my money back

      • 

        netsurfer on 20/06/2023 - 20:21

        If you don't mind, could you let me know a bit about the parcelpoint return label? Are there many parcelpoint return locations? The reason I am asking is that, the warranty process appears different to the first 30 days after purchase. The drop off locations for the first 30 days appear different (DHL drop off locations only).

        • 

          Onethreeteeh on 22/06/2023 - 18:04

          @netsurfer: Yeah there's heaps of them, mostly newsagents. There's about 5 within 2km of where I live (suburban Brisbane). I've done two Amazon returns through two different parcelpoint locations and both times it's been pretty seamless. Both returns were confirmed by Amazon within about an hour of dropping it off at the newsagent and then the money refunded within a day or two.

          Amazon are a bit inconsistent with returns processes. Something else I'm returning needs to be dropped at an auspost which is less convenient because they're only open during standard business hours

  On the topic of whether this SSD is officially PS5 compatible. It is complicated.

  Earlier on, old PS5 firmware versions used zero fill read test. Problem is, Phison E16 (and a lot of other Phison controllers) does some weird optimisation for zero fill so the result is much higher than its true random data sequential read test. That resulted in heaps of Phison E16 SSD "claiming" PS5 compatible.

  Sony has since changed the test to random data sequential read test (instead of all zeros). Thus, all those E16 SSDs are now officially under the recommended specs. Samsung 980 Pro also suffered a drop in performance (though it still managed to be just slightly above the recommended spec after Sony made the change), but Samsung somehow came up with a firmware fix to deal with it (so it now looks better than just above bare minimum). For E16 SSDs, no firmware update can address that issue (it's a hardware limitation).

  Sequential Read: 4950 MB/s

  That's below Sony recommended speed (5500 MB/s). The SSD will still work on PS5 because Sony doesn't disallow PCIe gen 4 x4 SSDs under the recommended speed. Before Sony changed the firmware, a lot of E16 SSDs were reporting 5600 MB/s (in zero fill read test).

    Don't use facts - for some reason people don't like it

    • 

      netsurfer on 20/06/2023 - 13:17

      You cannot assume that. People who installed Phison E16 SSDs before Sony updated the firmware would most likely still don't know about it. I am aware of it because it just doesn't make sense for those SSDs to go above its quoted specs so I investigated.

      Furthermore, this 5500MB/s being a must, so far, is over-hyped. People think SSDs are super amazing. In reality, for gaming, it comes down to VRAM and RAM more. Yes, there is a need to quickly send the data to RAM and VRAM to reduce annoying game loads, but developers do not want to bank on SSDs non-stop. RAM is ~1000X faster in latency than SSD.

  980 with heatsink is also $220ish. Anyone have a cheap item to pair it with for the 7% off?

• 

  Oztx on 20/06/2023 - 19:01

  How did they get up to 3,600 TBW? Even Samsung's 2TB 980 pro is like 1200 TBW

  • 

    netsurfer on 20/06/2023 - 20:28

    It's quite common for Phison E16 based SSDs to have really high TBW. It could be there are more spare cells or it is just the SSD makers are willing to do warranty for higher than user TBW.

    TBW is overrated for consumers anyway. All my SSDs which gone bye bye (failed / died), none of them even reached 2TBW (and one of them was a 1TB SSD). I have really bad experience with SSDs which I don't use often. I currently don't trust SSDs for cold / archival storage.

  I bought a Corsair MP600 CORE 2TB and around the 8 month mark it went from 100% to 97% with 15tb of writes, was used as a games drive, then all of a sudden started to get to 74 degrees temp which is over the rated 70 degrees.

  Should of done more research before buying it.
