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)

Love it for the PS5

This is my second 980. I have one from about launch time in my wife’s Ryzen-based laptop and this one, installed around 12/14/2022 in a Core i5 13600 system. They generally run around 6.9 gigs a second read and 5.4 gigs per second write, which is plenty fast for whatever you’d throw at it.

Bought the 980 PRO 2TB version to replace a 500GB m.2 SSD in my Lenovo Desktop running Windows 11.

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

Been using it for a few hours, great performance and fast data transfer. It doesnt include the screw for securing it to the MoBo so thats something to consider. I am happy with the purchase, and will probably buy another one unless some issue comes up these first days.

It is very easy to install and runs game very quickly

Perfect for what I needed

We are a family of IT professionals, and each of us has two laptops.

Clone of my old drive took a over an hors, but only because it was over a slow USB port. My 8th Gen Core-I7 machine used to take 45-60 seconds to boot. I now have a login screen in under 10 seconds from a cold boot.

This is the 2nd Samsung 980 PRO that I have purchased. The first time around I got one with no heatsink since there is already one heat sink included on the motherboard. Properly installing the heat sink was kind of a pain so for the 2nd one (on a different PC) I decided to get the included heat sink.. Installation took about 3 minutes rather than 10 min without and I still have the included heat sink on motherboard if i find a killer deal on one later.. I am unable to get the full 7000mbs but I am getting close at 6500.
