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)

Works great no issues. Havent been disappointed in to many Samsung products. And like the title says. Lightning fast.

Guys the item is as advertised, when checking the firmware because 980 pro 2tb ssds had issues with failiures because of problems with old firmware, the ssd came with the latest version of firmware, my ps5 finally has breathing space and no update was neccessary , would buy again....

I wanted to get the newest Samsung evo 990 pro, but my board does T support pci 5. So I got the 980 pro instead. I have a few 980 pros in my gigabyte z590 aorus ultra and can’t complain. Boot up speeds are awesome, gaming performance is also amazing. Can’t complain and I got this 2tb drive on sale I paid 289 with taxes for my 1tb almost a year and a half ago. This one was 195 with taxes. Very happy!

Love how I can have 5 of these on my Mother board. Fast and Ill not run out of storage for quite some time.

Did a bit of research on which SSD was a good fit for me in order to upgrade the memory in my PS5. This met all the needs was super easy to install and transfers info back and forth with the systems memory very quickly.

My PC has an old Asus AMD M5A99FX MB (but no onboard M.2 slots). So I bought a “AMPCOM M.2 NVME SSD to PCIe 4.0 Adapter Card” to allow me to put this NVMe in an available PCIe 2.0 x4 slot on the MB. Worked well as any disk should, in Win 11, but was not bootable (not the problem of the SSD or the adapter card) this was an issue with the old BIOS, which did not support booting a NVMe type of drive. The fix is getting an upgraded BIOS (not available on the MB manufacture BIOS updates site). Solution - I bought a “ BIOS patched for NVMe booting” and problem is solved. Even on my PCIe 2.0 backplane I got a significant bump in performance, see attached pictures, with all related info.

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!

This is installed on a gaming PCIe 3.0 build so It cannot take full advantage of PCIe 4.0 but you get futureproofing for a small fee.

I only bought ONE!

Unlike the WD that I had to return, this worked as soon as installed.
