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)

This was so easy to install. I’m not a very computer parts tech savvy girl and this was so easy to install and then my PlayStation 5 did the rest. Now, instead of having to move PS5 games to and from and external hard drive I can have them all on my PS5 without issue. I bought this over lesser priced and lesser known brands because I wanted a company I trust in Samsung to avoid any potential issues with my PS5

These are nothing short of a miracle. They are fast and accurate.

Worked no problem. Some people say to flash the firmware on PC before installing it in a PS5, but I did not.. Fingers crossed!

Loads up faster than my monitor can turn on.

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.

My wife and I have been using two units of Samsung Galaxy Book Flex since 2020. Initially, they came with Intel SSD 660p, possibly due to cost-down measure. The problem, however, was that the SSDs became slower than the moment we purchased. Especially my wifes Galaxy was problemetic; it took 45 minutes to scan her SSD (approx. 32 GBs loaded in a 512-GB SSD) with her antivirus app this year, which was almost twice as long as the case last year. Thus, I decided to replace Intel SSD with Samsung SSD 980 Pro.

Good drive, a heatsink is recommended if you are a using it for photo and video work as it gets toasty in a laptop chassis. Mine came with latest firmware.

So far so good. Got 2 TB at a good price, its the main drive in my new PC and its getting great throughput. Came preloaded with latest firmware according to Samsung Magician, so thats good for people who dont want to deal with that sort of thing.

Easy install and fast!

This deserves a 5 star review, but they do not include the screw to hold down the SSD.
