These are the best prices I could find online today:
7000s 1TB - RM965, 2TB - RM1,769
980 Pro 1TB - RM1,168, 2TB - RM2,698

Thinking of buying the Aorus 7000s during the 8.8 sale before prices go crazy when SSD enabled.

Any luck getting a good deal on the Aorus 7000s? 8/8 best deal I could find for 2GB is rm1799.

Sabrent 2TB Rocket 4 Plus NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 Internal SSD Extreme Performance Solid State Drive R/W 7100/6600MB/s (SB-RKT4P-2TB)

Currently sell at USD359.98 at Amazon US. Anyone interested?

I think this price doesn't include the heatsink. There is a specific model which includes the heatsink for a little bit more. Together with the heatsink, price should reach rm1.9k too though the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus has the highest write speed now. But buying from overseas means warranty will be an issue. One of my considerations too.

RM1,79x was the best deal I could find too. I didn’t buy 2tb, just 1tb for now. Got it for RM930. You’re better off buying from Amazon if 1,79x imho, or wait for Firecuda 530

I'm just worried that when Sony releases official firmware for adding in the M2 SSD, there would be a mad rush getting it, driving the prices up just like the consoles. Sorry but I hate being squeezed at the balls by scalpers like the current GPU and PS5. Anyway getting the 1TB like you did would be adequate for now. No point being too greedy right? tongue.gif

Anyhow, here is a list of compatible M2 SSD for the PS5.

Same - just bought before the mad rush to buy SSD comes in + no stock + scalper price.

Hey, I lived with 600gb+ for a while now, 1tb extra is good enough.

Agreed. Anyway its all about housekeeping. Just delete off unwanted games and data. Not that you are going to play it later anyway. Its just to make our Games Library look nice. So have you installed yours? Your SSD came with the heatsink?

SSD still not shipped but yes, it comes with heatsink. You already installed the Beta firmware? I'm still waiting for the invite sad.gif

Nah.... I will wait for stable Just want to get the SSD for standby purposes and kiasuness. tongue.gif

PCIe 4 SSD best to get with heatsink, those things runs really hot.

So which one you getting la  tongue.gif
*
Yes. It is a requirement by Sony that the SSD be installed together with a heatsink. Saw the installation video, the SSD is hidden inside a small compartment with an aluminum cover over it. Its definitely going to toast without a proper heatsink. The cheapest one of course. I dont think the minor read/write speed will make a lot of difference nod.gif

Already bought the Aorus 7000s from jitechnology - shopee mall vendor. still waiting for it to arrive since I bought on 8/8. Got RM50 coins cashback, RM5 voucher + used shopee coins for a net price of RM880 - I paid RM930 tho as the coins cashback is for any future purchase.

Still waiting for the beta key, or the public firmware to be available for the PS5 tho.

If you want to buy from Shopee, be careful of the vendor that you buy from. Preferred or Mall are selling confirmed original products. Not to say others are totally untrustworthy, but the risk is there. Also, the RM800 version might be a legitimate Aorus (R: 5,000MBps W: 4,400MBps), but it might not be the Aorus 7000s (R:7,000MBps W: 5,500MBps). Both will work with the PS5, but the normal Aorus will be slightly slower than the PS5 internal storage.

I have checked that seller too on 8/8 sale for the RM800 version you mentioned. After checking closely, apparently the seller didn't mention it is Aorus 7000S but only Aorus Gen 4. So be wary of the cheaper model.

Can refer to Gigabytes own website. https://www.aorus.com/components/solid-state-drive

I don't think the Aorus Gen 4 is compatible with our PS5.

I don't think there is very much effect on Sony when every stock is sold paid for before the stocks have a chance to reach their warehouse yet. Sony Playstation is the most profitable arm amongst their product lines.

received call from GH for ps5 pre order..end up turn down the deal...bcoz need to make full payment now and the ETA is Dec21 - Jan22...

Crazy. Just another move to collect cash by banking on the desperation of consumers. Many companies are cash strapped due to MCO and need your money to roll. Dont fall for it. Worst, when the time comes, they will give you bull shit excuses of further delaying the delivery of your set while opening pre-orders.

Have yours started shipping yet? Chatted with the CS and the model I’m getting is the CFI-1018A, the old version instead of new version CFI-1100 with smaller heatsink which may be detrimental on the peak performance in the long run.

Maybe u should offer your set here for sale then. I'm pretty sure many would be glad to take it off your hands. nod.gif
