SAMSUNG 980 SSD 1TB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280, Internal Solid State Drive, Storage for PC, Laptops, Gaming and More, HMB Technology, Intelligent Turbowrite, Speeds of up-to 3,500MB/s, MZ-V8V1T0B/AM

my one-year-old ThinkPad P1 was running out of space, and I was looking for an EVO 970 SSD, coz my Gen2 P1 doesnt support PCIe 4. I accidentally found this PCIe 3 version of 980 (I thought all 980s are PCIe 4). It took less than a day to be delivered (and installed) since I placed the order - thanks Amazon for the super fast shipping and delivery. I put it in, it was pretty straightforward, and I immediately moved all my data from the old drive to it - in less than 5 minutes for an overall 375 Gb of data. That was amazing! Theres a noticeable performance improvement that I can absolutely tell when I moved and ran my VMs on it.

ive been running my Ubuntu boot drive on a 1TB 980 for over a year now. recently, i started to see warnings:

This came when expected and did the job. Would purchase again.

Great storage, speed as advertised

super

This was perfect for my computer that’s a few years old. If you’re building a new machine, this is PCI-E 3, and you may want PCI-E 4. But if you don’t need PCI-E 4, this is a great value.

My friend installed it for me

I love the m.2 1tb Samsung drive works very well it’s fast reliable holds my operating system windows 10 on it I have a separate 2tb m.2 that holds all my games and super fast I highly recommend this Samsung m.2 1tb drive

I use the 980 in an external drive usb-c adapter, so the speed of a 980 Pro would not be utilized. Saved myself ~$80. Installed Fedora Linux on it and the install was quick and it boots fast. Havent benchmarked it; I dont feel the need, but it contributes to a snappy feel to loading apps and booting up. Good value.

Very good product, I arrive in Chile in 1 week
