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)

First Libre was bricked out of box. Replacement one works flawlessly. If you get a bad one, return for another because when they work, they really work.

Whats not to like about a 980 Pro with a Samsung-made heatsink? Turns out its not very laptop friendly. Make sure you have a ton of space if you wanna put this beast in your laptop. I hear PS5 users love them though

It is weird to see the cheaper price for Made in Korea products on Amazon.

Indeed. This is fast.

My PC has an old Asus AMD M5A99FX MB (but no onboard M.2 slots). So I bought a “AMPCOM M.2 NVME SSD to PCIe 4.0 Adapter Card” to allow me to put this NVMe in an available PCIe 2.0 x4 slot on the MB. Worked well as any disk should, in Win 11, but was not bootable (not the problem of the SSD or the adapter card) this was an issue with the old BIOS, which did not support booting a NVMe type of drive. The fix is getting an upgraded BIOS (not available on the MB manufacture BIOS updates site). Solution - I bought a “ BIOS patched for NVMe booting” and problem is solved. Even on my PCIe 2.0 backplane I got a significant bump in performance, see attached pictures, with all related info.

I didnt realize HOW much faster gen-4 was. This drive flies. I had a 970 (*gen 3) and then upgraded when these dropped in price. Im glad I decided to pull the trigger on an upgrade!

After that, my computer took on new colors.

First time using m.2 nvme and its the best

I was surprised to read some of the reviews on this ... Samsung is normally solid as a rock. Ive used it routinely for my PCs, I didnt even think twice about it. When I went to write this review - thats when I saw others with negative reviews about it.

Easy installation, plug and play.
