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

I ordered this 1TB Samsung 980 NVMe SSD to use with a Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 enclosure that I have. I was trying to think of a way to add space to my Mac Mini, which only has 256GB of internal storage that is not upgradeable. I wanted to add space but not have the performance suffer when compared to my internal drive. The only way to do that is to take full advantage of the Thunderbolt 3 ports on the Mac Mini and combine that with a fast SSD. So this Samsung drive and my enclosure are a perfect match. I am very pleased with the results so far. This Samsung drive seems to be just as fast as my internal drive. I certainly cant tell the difference no matter what software I am using.

I bought this several months ago and it has done an excellent job thus far. I have not done specific speed tests on it lately but I can say definitively that it is much faster than the OEM drive I have in my laptop and has reduced the load time of several games and applications by quite a bit.

I was hoping to clone the 2242 form factor SSD on my Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 with this faster drive for an even speedier Windows 11 experience, but after installing into the only available 2280 slot (pcie 4.0) available and running CrystalDiskMark I was a bit disappointed that I was only getting half of the advertised speed with it showing 1800MB/s sequential reads and 1500 MB/s sequential writes. This means the 980 1TB performed almost exactly the same spec as the 512 GB lower quality Samsung SSD that came with the laptop, even on the random r/w tests. Instead of making this my primary OS boot drive Im instead using it as a D: drive to store my games on.

I liked the quick delivery and the value for money. 5 stars

Easy install, and fast speeds!

On its own, this is an excellent drive. Samsung is always known for their quality and reliability when it comes to these, so you cant go wrong.

works perfectly. Meets my gaming needs

1st upgrade to my pre built and it was simple and easy. works great

Was very easy to install, storage was great and overall preforms fantastic in my Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3. A bit pricey but it’s expected when the SSD functions this good.

I bought the product but it didnt work, I would like to return it. how should I do? can I return through Amazon in Brazil and exchange for another product like this?
