zarbicore on Crucial P1 2TB 2000MB/s PCIe Gen 3 NVMe M.2 (2280) SSD $205 Delivered (at 10pm) | & More + Del + Surcharge @ Shopping Express

Min read/write for M.2 in PS5 is 5GB/Sec, so the Samsung 980 PRO will do just fine.

Funny enough this card isn't held back by the cooling. It appears MSI f'ed up the VRM for this card- It'll cut out from power issues long...

Who has it for under $200? Seems the specials have dried up.

bazingaa on [PC] The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Standard Edition $12, Game of The Year Edition $15.79 @ GOG

They use Quadro's (RTX 4000) in the Aussie data center; roughly RTX 2060 equiv.

Depends on what you're doing- Lots of little writes and/or majority just read, like a steam drive, it's perfectly fine.
