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 SSD works great. As I said on title the read speed, according to the PS5, is in the 5500MB/s so it is good enough but nowhere near the advertised 7000MB/s. Maybe that speed can be achieved on a PC? Who knows but it works fine. Combined with a heatsink now my PS5 has triple the storage capacity!

excellent quality but delivery very slow

In total, I have three of these now. Two are in Z690 motherboards (one with an i7-13600K and another with an i5-12600K) and the other is in a Z390 (i5-9600K). For the i7 machine, the SSD is in the M.2 slot connected to the CPU directly and for the i5, its connected via the chipset. After running Crystal Disk Mark a couple of times there is no performance difference (indiscernible or otherwise) between the drive connected to the CPU directly (with the i7) and the drive connected to the chipset (with the i5). Both get close to 7GB/sec read times. Write times are about 4.5GB/sec, which is way faster than anything I need. Even though Im not totally blown away by their performance, theyre still very good SSDs.

Fast. Fast. Fast. Probably the fastest gen4 m.2 ssd out there right now. This is the second one Ive installed on my computer and I dont have one negative thing to say about it. If youre looking to upgrade your storage on your pc, look no further. This is the best out there until they come out with gen5!

I got this with a great deal from Amazon for $85. Plugged right into my PS5 and works great. Would recommend.

Ive been using Samsung drives in my main build for 6+ years now and never had a failure. This drive should be no different. I downloaded Samsung magician and made sure it shipped with the latest firmware. Runs a little warm under my motherboard heat spreader, but that seems normal for gen 4 drives without active cooling.

The only one I will put in my PS5...period!

I bought this unit brand new through Amazon in late July and the unit is completely dead and undetectable on my system. At first I thought that the primary PCI 4.0 M.2 NVME slot on my motherboard was failing so I put it in the secondary PCI 3.0 slot but when that also did not work I put it into another brand new computer I had assembled for a friend and still the drive was not detected in the BIOS Boot Manager. To be clear, the drive worked perfectly fine before this and was lightly used as a gaming PC. I only had a few programs and games downloaded on the drive. I couldn’t imagine more than 10TBW was put on the drive. For posterity, the manufacture date for this Unit is May of 2022 and was made in Vietnam.

I couldnt have asked for a better experience in adding size to my PS5. It was easy as pie to make the addition. Easy instructions online. And thank you for the good pricing.

I had a learning curve cloning my internal SSD boot drive onto this one but it ultimately worked great.
