Get the 2TB Samsung 980 Pro w/ heatsink for £184 (was £252)
As Katharine noted in her 2020 review, the 980 Pro is a ‘PCIe 4.0 SSD speed demon’, offering similar speeds to even later releases like the WD Black SN850 and Kingston Fury Renegade SSD. The performance here is perhaps the result of Samsung’s tight vertical integration - they make both the controller and the NAND flash that’s used - and performance is normally excellent on their higher-end drives as a result. This particular drive comes with an integrated heatsink that should keep performance high for longer and also allows the drive to be an all-in-one solution for the PS5, as Sony recommends that internal expansion SSDs do use heatsinks. What do you think - is this the right price, or do you need to see this drive at £125 or even lower to bite? Let me know in the comments below!
