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)

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!

Works great on my laptop. Very fast ssd.

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

So, I have been using this memory since may 2022 and I have to say that everything has been all right. Of course the most important thing before you buy is trying to review most options you may have, and that’s what I did and went for the most cost effective option.

Easy to install, and the speed is as advertised. The whole process took about 5-10 minutes.

Finally being able to grab a PS5, my next purchase was to get some additional memory, since the new console really doesn’t have much. Installation is pretty easy, the PS5 recognized it immediately and formatted it within a couple minutes. After setting this as the default storage for the console, I installed several games with no issues. Installs were fairly quick, with the exception of downloads taking their time for digital games or in my case, updates after installing the disk version. This memory has good speed and having used a Samsung SSD as a computer boot drive for years, I know the memory is reliable. The memory also has a good 5-year warranty, which may get tested in a console. I do think these are a bit pricy even on sale, but if you play a lot of console games, a necessary purchase.

my dell XPS 8950 came with a 1 tb disk drive, I replaced it with 1 tb Samsung 980 pro, it came with a app to move My OS to it, straight forward and easy, I put the original OS drive away in case of future problems, I can just plug it back in and I have the original OS. I immediately noticed the loading faster. so far so good, now to see how it holds up over time.

I used this 1TB capacity with the Samsung Magician migration tool from 500GB. Installation was quick and migrating the drive from a 960 to this 980 took less than 10 minutes and a read speed of 350MB/s.

Samsung has the SSD market pretty locked down. You cannot do better than this. It was a little bit annoying setting up due to its software needs but once you get it set up it is amazing.

Moved all my games from ps5 to this and it works so smooth. Highly recommend this product. Download and upload speeds are just as fast as the console. Great buy.
