PS5 SSD - SAMSUNG 980 PRO 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 Internal Gaming SSD M.2 (MZ-V8P2T0B/AM)?

[usertjH78nrWTU]

Hello.  I bought one of these MZ-V8P2T0B/AM:

https://www.samsung.com/us/computing/memory-storage/solid-state-drives/980-pro-pcie-4-0-nvme-ssd-2tb...

last week from Best Buy and am wondering what I need to do to meet the PS5 SSD requirements here:

to specifically meet cooling requirements.

Thoughts?  So far it works great but want to make sure I don't ruin my $400+ purchase (hardware challenged yes).

Thanks!

Brian

A good quality heatsink like the EKWB will work fine on your  980.

Samsung is soon to release a 980 with the heatsink already installed for the PS5.
