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)

Easy as hell to install. Cut my boot time from over a minute to under 30s. Cloned my main drive to this and its so nice.

came with the latest software

I get fast reads, consistently over 3,000 MB/s. But writes to this drive are much slower than I expect, and seem to top out around 500 MB/s - something like 10x lower than what the drive is capable of.

Used it in an HP notebook PCIe gen 3 and worked perfectly, at 3500 Mbps sequence read and write. No problem with the temperature for the moment.

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.

Took 5 minutes to install. I researched a ton of internal ssd options for my PS5 and I decided on this Samsung 980 pro with heatsink. I am not disappointed!

Perfect for PS5 and it’s space “issue” lol.

I bought this M.2 SSD to replace a regular SSD in a computer I built 5 years ago. Apparently I saved every screw except the M.2 one, if one was even included with the case/motherboard in the first place. I assumed this SSD would come with a screw but I was wrong. To install the M.2 SSD, I had to wait and order a $5 bag of screws just to get one tiny M.2 screw which probably costs less than a cent. Nowhere on the product listing did it advise that it doesnt come with a screw. Samsung should include a screw in the box to prevent people from shooting themselves in the foot. If it came with the screw, I would have given it 5 stars. The M.2 SSD seems to be working properly so far but the installation experience wasnt great.

I had a previous fantastic experience with the 980 Pro on my gaming rig. Maybe Im a fanboy, but when it comes to SSDs I have always favored Samsung Pro brand SSDs, and to date, none have failed me. Thankfully! Therefore no regrets. I ordered the 1TB version of this drive, but to my dismay, I received the 500GB version. Whoever put the amazon label on the box must have blundered, (or did a swap?). I didnt even open it, but arranged a pretty painless return, and this time, I got the correct capacity. I installed this in a Lenovo Yoga 730, which took quite a bit of steps to get into the bios, and make a series of changes, in correct sequence, to get to boot from USB stick. I could then load Paragon, and copy my main drive to this model, and extend its partition size to use this whole drive as my C. Nothing about this drive is dissapointing. My read/write speeds are about identical at 3400-3500MB/s in crystal disk. I think this laptop is only NVME 3.0, so Ive not seeing the full speed. Still its faster than the intel model it replaced. I always recommend the 980 Pros. There is a concern on earlier firmware revisions of some of these drives. May want to look into it, or run Magician and update firmware regardless. Yeah, buy this if you want good performance, and reliability. Price is decent too!

Been using it for a while as a boot drive. Works as expected with a 13500, Strix B760I and Teamgroup 5200 DDR5.
