So a NVME SSD using TLC could be less expensive, being still very good in long times too (instead of cheper QLC others)

Appreciate the heads up. I was debating between a Samsung 990 PRO and a WD Black SN850P. I ended up going with the Samsung because most people seemed to think it eked out slightly better performance,
and the sale price put it below the SN850P, even with an included heat-sink.
Multiple lists put the 990 Pro as compatible with the PS5, so it didn't seem worth paying an extra 30 bucks just to get an SSD that has a "PS5 certified" sticker on it.
