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)

Highly recommend. Reliable and fast and a good price.

The heatsink is not needed… The speed is fantastic.

Good reliable storage. Only SSD i am running and no hard disk. Just dont go downloading every game you own or youre gonna slowdown when it gets to like 80%. I just have like 3 games and some programming tools and I swap out games here and there. Im at like 400gb and have noticed no slowdowns at all. Fast installs as well.

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.

This SSD is running as my main storage drive which is running windows and after 5 months and more than 40% full, I decided to do another speed test and it still runs fast. I put a photo up of the speeds I get with it. Im satisfied with this SSD.

I completely slipped up purchasing a NUC with a HDD for a drive a couple of yrs ago (instead of a machine with a SSD). Had been meaning to upgrade for some time now and had been on the fence about the expense vs the how much faster will my computer be? thing. Also, I am not computer savvy, so, I also was procrastinating b/c I didnt want to mess with my computers internals.

Desempaña la misma velocidad que dice el fabricante, carga super rapido todos mis juegos y aplicaciones. tiene mejoras en comparacion al evo 970 pro, lo unico que no me gusto es que es de 500Gb es 12Gb menos que el 970 pro de la version anterior

Not sure if I got a returned unit, if someone tampered with it in transit, or if the seal was broken during package handling. but the seal was broken upon arrival. Otherwise this is a great drive.

I had one of these in my gaming laptop and it was great. For my more stout gaming rig I went with the rocket q4 because they had slightly better read/write speeds.. and well.. regretted my purchase within 6 or so months. The benchmark speeds from day 1 were awful and no amount of tweaking with their software could fix it. The biggest issue is for whatever reason the MBR kept getting corrupt (sabrent kept saying it was a software problem and not a hardware problem and refused to warranty it) and locked the computer up. That meant every couple weeks or so I needed to reformat the drive, reinstall windows completely from a boot drive (because windows couldnt fix the problem on its own). Which meant i lost all my data as well (mostly games that I had to re-download, and partly because i was lazy and didnt connect my sata backup up, but still frustrating either way). I decided to go with this drive again for the rig and it was night and day different. Benchmarks were way better, faster boot, and havent had to reinstall windows again! Knew I should have went with this to begin with.

Fast, large capacity, cant complain. Great value.
