Samsung is partnering with Square Enix to launch a limited collector's edition package of the 990 PRO 2 TB SSD co-branded with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (FFVII Rebirth). The package consists of a special 180 mm x 180 mm x 175 mm (WxDxH) cuboidal box with branding and imagery from FFVII Rebirth characters. Inside, you'll find a Samsung 990 PRO 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD with its reference heatsink. The heatsink makes the drive compatible with the PlayStation 5. There are no changes in the specs of the drive—it offers 2 TB of storage with a 2 GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache, and transfer speeds of up to 7450 MB/s sequential reads, and up to 6950 MB/s sequential writes, making it among the fastest Gen 4 SSDs in the market. But that's it with the bundle—you don't actually get the game, but a special edition box that can make for a good background prop if you're streaming. The limited collector's edition is expected to come out some time in March 2024.

they are not even trying... to make it special
 
As a fan of the series since 1999 I actually may end up getting one. Sucks though that the game isn't coming for PC for a while.
 
Geez, the least they could have done is silk-screen imprint Cloud and Tifa onto the heatsink, or copy Seagate where they incorporate some element of their Collaboration onto their actual product, not just the box art (their lightsaber NVMes or their Beskar patterned SSD/External Portable HDD).
 
Oh, a "special 180 mm x 180 mm x 175 mm (WxDxH) cuboidal box with branding and imagery from FFVII Rebirth characters", just what I always wanted! In what bin do I throw the unrelated electronics inside?
 
If you have m2/ssd speed/heat issues you can say you're dealing with "Strife".

Because it's not.

agreed, they could have at least made the heatsink on the nvme on theme... pathetic.

Meh. I like Aerith way more.

Hi,
looks like they only changed the box lol
Same heatsink I saw end of last year on the 990 pro 2tb and what is up with that lame amount of space anyway, 4tb or keep it samsung :slap:

The thing that ACTUALLY sucks, is that it won't come for PS4, like ever.
