Careful. The guy that mentioned it is a local set with 5 years warranty showed a picture of the box and it did not contain the EA logo sticker. Indicating that this is NOT a local set. So don't expect a 5 years warranty being covered by the local distro, EA.
Nevertheless, I don't think it will be much of an issue because Samsung SSDs tend to typically last.
PS. Those who purchased an SSD for your PS5, do insert it in your PC first in order to check if it has the latest firmware. It usually can't be plugged into just an external USB enclosure and has to physically be plugged in via a PCIe adaptor or directly to your motherboard in order for it to be recognized and thus, allowing for a firmware upgrade.

I think you are mistaken. Ban Leong started distributorship for Samsung SSD since this year. There is also receipt from Ban Leong.

The old school method of using EA sticker to differentiate between local and overseas set doesnt work anymore.

Oh? That's great. Though it might make it harder to know if it's a local set or someone is selling an imported one from Amazon.

I thought MK previously had already?

MKX is in PS Plus Collection for PS5, but were never part of the monthly PS Plus games. Previously the same thing happen to Days Gone as well.

These games are included mainly for PS4 users, which make up the majority of PS+ subscribers. Bad month for PS5 though, as there's 1 less game. It should've been MKXL instead of the base game.

I thought the Castlevania Requiem bundle is a nice touch this month though. I'm still not done with last month's Overcooked - I didn't know Extra Trimmings DLC has quite a number of levels to play too. More free content.

Hi, anyone interested in a WD_BLACK™ SN850 NVMe™ SSD (2TB) WITH Heatsink can view it here:

wa $900?! The Samsung 980 pro 2TB I bought for $500 and $25 for the heatsink. Granted it's not a "first party" solution but I don't think that few seconds faster loading time is worth the price man. But of course to each his own, I'm sure there will be people who can justify buying it.

To each his own, sure, there are many ways to save costs and cut corners. If you are planning to spend so much on a SSD for your precious PS5, why risk that performance degradation and temperature difference to potentially fry your PS5 innards 😅

Check out:


Conclusion around the 5:00 mark: "If you have access to a WD Black with Heatsink, get it!"

U can get SN850 2tb on amazon.sg for 560-600. Just wait for amazon us stocks to appear. They will honor warranty if bought from amazon.

Retail price of the WD 2TB heatsink version is $799 in SG, so $900 seems rather steep. Believe it should be cheaper through amazon once they have stock, if you’re willing to do without the local SG warranty. A few weeks ago, the Seagate 2 TB Firecuda 530 with heatsink was going for about $675 all in at amazon. Was really tempted then but I decided on a 1 TB drive as I don’t really need that much internal storage.
