SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 Internal Solid State Drive Memory Card + 2mo Adobe CC Photography, Maximum Speed, Thermal Control (MZ-V8P2T0B)

The drive failed within less then a year of purchase. I understand hardware can fail. My issue comes with the lack of customer service on this. I first had to mail the drive to Samsung. I then waited for almost a week with no updates available as the website tracker doesnt update so I called again. The rep told me a replacement drive had been ordered but they could not provide me with any tracking status and transferred me to the department that could provide me the status. Unfortunately I was on hold for over an hour and no-one picked up my call and I had to hang up. I then received an email stating the drive was going to be replaced and that the drive had been ordered and once the service department received it they would then ship it to me and I could get tracking details. After waiting 3 days for with no update I called yet again and they again could not provide any update. At that point requested a refund so I could purchase an WD drive knowing their drives are generally very reliable and in the event one of their drives does fail you have a new drive within a couple days. I have no doubt this drive itself is probably a very good drive and I just happen to get a bad one, that happens but when the customer service is the opposite of customer service I cant recommend this drive or Samsung for this reason. I have had a couple WD drives fail me in the past and they immediately send out a new drive provided the failed drive is under warranty and provide you a timeline to return the failed drive or youll be charged. Very easy and great service, you can have a replacement drive within 2 days and be back up and running. Unfortunately Samsung doesnt value their customers enough to provide actual customer service. Im now on 2 weeks without my PC due to this and Im on hold with Samsung attempting to get a refund while writing this review. This is beyond a joke and unacceptable for a company like Samsung. I will never purchase another drive from Samsung. I will update this review after Im done being on hold for however long and whatever whoops I have to jump through to get this resolved.

Like most of us, we need more storage space in our PS5. This hard drive does the trick and it was super easy to install. Very pleased with this purchase.

Best price and Super Fast Delivery. Thanks

I came from a SATA drive so I was amazed at how much read/write speed I gained. It is noticeable in games and even in windows. Magician and data conversion software from Samsung makes installing and monitoring the drive very easy. I caught a sale and got the heatsink 2 TB model for less than 200 USD. That is cheap for the upgrade I gained. I have used Samsung drives in my builds for the past 10 years and have had zero problems.

I have a MSI Tomahawk B450 mb which I thought was 4th gen accepting. My drive runs at half the speed advertised possibly due to the fact the mb is NOT Gen 4 capable... I could be missing a setting that would enable the drive but Ive looked, researched, youtubed any and all possibilities yet cant get it to perform as advertised. Probably need a B550 chip set.

I bought two of these to expand my storage and they were really easy to just plug in and screw down. I bought ones without a heat sink because my motherboard comes with heat sink covers

This is perfect if you want more storage, but you also don’t want to pay $300+ for it. Very easy to I stall. Nothing to really complain about. I’m sure it’s not perfect but for the price, it’s a five star product.

Works as advertised, and it fits perfectly under my GPU. Temperature stays quite cool under heavy use.

Samsung is synonymous to high quality so the drive itself needs no introduction. Just make sure you are giving it appropriate cooling depending on what you want to install it on. In a high airflow desktop PC with ample space to dissipate heat, it wont need more than the out of the box sticker which is also a cooling pad. If you want to install it on a laptop or a PlayStation 5, then you may need something better.

Bought two 500GB drives for storage of programs, games, videos, pictures, and documents. For the price and the Samsung name, you cant go wrong. There are other brands out there that are just as fast, have more total TBW, and are just as good. So whatever you choose, you are going to get some blazing fast drives.
