Features

Next-level SSD performance

Unleash the power of the Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PRO for your next-level computing. Leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface, the 980 PRO delivers double the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0 while being backward-compatible for PCIe 3.0 for added versatility.

* The NVM Express® design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc.

 

Maximum speed

Powered by Samsung custom Elpis Controller for PCIe 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO is optimised for speed. It delivers read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO achieves maximum speeds on PCIe 4.0 and may vary in other environments.

* Performance may vary depending on the SSD's firmware version and the system hardware & system configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology being activated. The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are: up to 500 MB/s(250GB), 1,100 MB/s(500GB) and 2,000 MB/s(1TB). * Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor CPU @ 3.79GHz, DDR4 2666MHz 16GBx2, OS-Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset-ASUS-X570-ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA * Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs. * To maximise the performance of the 980 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.

 

A winning combination

Designed with hardcore gamers and tech-savvy users in mind, the 980 PRO offers high-performance bandwidth and throughput for heavy-duty applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics, and more. It's fast at loading games so you can play more and wait less.

 

Efficient M.2 SSD

The 980 PRO comes in a compact M.2 2280 form factor, which can be easily plugged into desktops and laptops for maximum board design flexibility. The drive is suitable for building high-performance computing systems due to its optimised power efficiency.

 

Reliable thermal control

High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 PRO uses nickel coating to help manage the controller's heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.

 

Smart thermal solution

Embedded with Samsung's cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 PRO manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980 PRO's temperature at optimal levels.

 

Samsung Magician software

Unlock the full power of the 980 PRO with Samsung Magician's intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Samsung Magician to ensure you're always getting the best performance out of your SSD.

Firmware update needed

These work great until the drive is partially filled, then the write speed plummets to 1300MB/s. Seems to be when the cache is full and doesn’t get emptied. Plenty on all the forums about this, hopefully a firmware update will come soon. My old 970 was 83% full and still wrote at 3300.

A second SSD for my new system

This product was part of a Computer system that PB Tech built for me to replace an aging video editing system. From the initial enquiry through to the final delivery I received second to none service from Mark Yeoh. In my presence he built up the solution advising on each recommended component the why and the expected outcome I would receive. I purchased my original system as a fully built video editing system and assumed it would work - and it did. However to return to the same supplier the cost was going to be prohibitive for a hobby video editor. Now i have the system up and running in my home it operates seamlessly and I could...view more

Great Drive, Speeds as advertised

Awesome drive, used CrystalDiscMark to confirm speeds. Got 6,870MB/s Seq read and 5,000MB/s Seq write. Will have to get another to populate my 2nd m.2 slot.
If your in the market for a super fast m.2 this is the one! (thanks for the good pirce pbtech) :)

Samsung SSDs have always done me right over the years

Works flawlessly, as you'd expect. I've been using many Samsung SSDs over the years and never had any issue with any of them - a solid choice

Not much better

The Samsung SSD line has a great reputation and for good reason.
This SSD is lightning fast and super reliable. What's not to love?
If you have the budget you might want to consider the 1tb as it will almost certainly live longer but this is great as a boot drive if you have another SSD you can store your bulky applications/games on.
