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 is perfect if you want more storage, but you also don’t want to pay $300+ for it. Very easy to I stall. Nothing to really complain about. I’m sure it’s not perfect but for the price, it’s a five star product.

Normally this NVME is about 350 dollars but I was able to grab it on sale for 150 dollars. Using it for storing games, I am impressed how fast the load times are. Going from a HDD to this reduces loading times between 50-75% (only tested Doom Eternal and GTA V for these). Make sure your motherboard has at least a Gen 4 M.2 drive, otherwise you wont get the full potential of the incredible read/write speeds. For the price point I paid, definitely dont wait to upgrade.

Works great on my laptop. Very fast ssd.

Have both versions of the PS5. And installed this SSD to expand the memory for games and such. Only wish I could of afforded the 2Gig or higher, but then I would be spending more then I did for the consoles. Easy as pie to install and then is configured and recognized by the console. Have had one for almost a year and still runs well and the other for 6 months no problems. Except for price.

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

The one I got from Amazon last month already had the latest firmware installed. If you are putting it in PS5, if you are seeing more than 6,000 MB/sec in the speed test you are good, you got latest FW. If you are seeing least than 6,000, you need to update, which can be done with an external Thunderbolt enclosure (not USB-C) if you dont have a desktop.

Ive been using m.2 since the first generation! Make no mistake, ALL m.2 storage devices are FAST! this baby is simply a delightful indulgence. Do my apps/games run noticeably faster than first gen m.2? In most cases, no. But for file intensive operations, this device is a show off! And to be able to buy 2tb at less than $200 is a complete steal. Stop reading these reviews already and get one.

I have to replace my old Samsung 850 Pro NVME. Over four years it served me very well but it was getting old and slowed down my computer. After install new 980 Pro, my computer getting fresh and younger like new blood in the system. Now my computer is blazing fast again! I really like it comes with heat sink so I dont need to add third party heat sink like old one. But I wonder why Fakespot review gave it so low review rate? I saw may times Fakespot review rates are very low for most of Samsung products. I really dont understand.

I didnt realize the fans in the Precision 5770 were so close to the SSD sockets. The heatsink was tall enough that it hit the fan case and wouldnt allow the drive to seat in the slot correctly. I might have been able to force it, but I didnt want to damage the slot. I returned the drive for the same model without the heatsink (and it works great). I like the idea of a built-in heatsink - but not for this laptop.

Love this for my PS5. Installation was a breeze and within about five minutes I was up and running with 2TB more storage in my PS5. Cant remember the exact figure my machine gave me when it tested the drive after formatting, but it was over 6000 MB/s, just cant remember anything after the 6 :) Wish Id snapped a pic of the speed.
