Corsair & WD Black has PS5 heatsink versions of their Gen4 drives. The prices arent too far apart from KC3000 + compatible heatsink that you might have to swap around if its too high. A lot of these HS says its compatible but didnt factor in if SSD is double or single sided. Corsair & WD gives hassle free compatibility from the box.

Corsair Mp600 pro, 1tb with heatsink..

Msi spatium M480 pro, 2tb with heatsink..

Not all heatsink variant is compatible with PS5, so please dont reco incompatible ones

To OP, for PS5 you specifically will be looking at "CORSAIR MP600 PRO LPX" or "MP600 ELITE for PS5" or MSI "SPATIUM M480 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 PLAY" as these HS are vetted to be fully compatible. Fury Reg HS is also vetted to fit so choose whichever you like.

EDIT
Coincidently this perfectly drops in just today https://www.techspot.com/bestof/ps5-xbox-storage-24-25/

corsair mp600 pro and pro lpx got what difference?

as for mp600 elite I won't consider as it doesn't have dram

then I saw adata s70 blade, seems comes with heatsink but price seems not much different with kingston fury renegade

anyway thanks for the recommendation, will look on it and buy on 12/12

Black friday..
Cyber monday

I can predict ssd price will drop next year

previously, 1tb ssd are sold @ Rm115 only

Wow, buang harge..

IINM Pro HS variant too high to fit PS5. LPX HS version does. Elite use new Phison controller, and sold as compatible with PS5.

S70 blade dun have HS, i know cuz I using one now. S70 (non-blade) is with HS but that doesnt fit PS5, too high. If want Blade need to get 3rd party HS which may or may not fit cuz 2TB above version is double sided.

WD SN850X HS variant is normal SSD that can fit both PC & PS5.

Dun compare BF prices with normal. Its their megasale season, post BF it will bounce back to normal high level. If Trump impose more antiChina tarriffs the prices will either remain high or go higher.

Long way to go

I bought my 1st normal ssd, intel 520 120gb during win7 era, and it cost me close to Rm400

less than a year later, it drop till Rm200+

Ssd is the most depreciation prompt Pc parts

Its only depreciating when there is no market interference. But we dont live in an ideal world. How else you explain mine S70 blade 2TB I bought 2023 for RM 400+ now cost RM 600+ in 2024?

I think I mostly go for fury renegade ssd, WD SN850X and corsair mp600 pro lpx so expensive which at least RM 200 more expensive than fury renegade

slightly top up a bit I can buy another PS5 game already

Fury Reg is a good choice, practically its the same hardware as that Corsair.

WD SSD is marketed as an integrated solution so your getting more consistent quality, availability, the price gap also somewhat justifies with having overall better performance than all Phison based Gen4 SSD, and with free cloning software tho this isnt beneficial to you if used for PS5, and generally WD has the better branding name for storage matters and should have faster RMA turnaround (their SSD are Made in Msia unlike nearly all others).

For those who can that bit more for peace of mind, its WD or Samsung.

I thought kingston also had cloning software which is acronis?

WD Black SN850X almost same price as Samsung 990 pro

If I would like to choose would go either kingston fury renegade or samsung 990 pro, my samsung evo 850 ssd which bought almost 10 years back still kicking strong

WD flagships seems to have less problems than Samsung, with both gen 980pro & 990pro had premature death firmware. For the now if Im gonna pay that much it would be to WD based on track record. Of course things might change in future.

How about Seagate...

Never really looked at them but I would say it's lower priority because in the above, WD and Samsung make their own NAND Flash chips, so they get full control over the entire ssd making process and they use their own custom chips like WD has their own in house controllers, as well as Samsung

Meanwhile Seagate doesn't make any NAND Flash, they are primarily a HDD Maker.
So, they have to buy components and make SSDs like everyone else (Kingston, Adata, etc)
They dont get the benefit of having full control over the process

Seagate 530 basically same hardware as KC3000 & MP600Pro but you pay more for the longer warranty & much higher TBW, otherwise its overpriced for what it is.

black friday and chrismas steam sales is coming

but not enough storage .. hope kc3000 2tb can get under rm500 on 12.12

Only if you live in USA or Western EU....
