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)

Super shock on the amount of storage it offer. Alot of SSD state their a certain capacity and they do have that storage but normally the SSD has certain things within it that drop the capacity but a very little bit but this offers a complete 1TB.

very fast!

I recently left a review for another nvme drive, the sk hynix p41. I said in it that that drive drained my battery in my new laptop alittle too fast for my liking. I took that drive out and switched it to this samsung 980 pro. I had mentioned in the p41 review that i thought the p41 was faster than this one. When i tranaferred a 16 gb file when i hooked this one up it transferred it at about 1.5 gb/s while the p41 did it at 2.0 gb/s. Thats nothing to shake a finger at, for either drive especially since both are faster than the 900mb/s my original wd drive moved at. That being said a recent firmware seemed to help this samsung drive because after it i transferred the same file and found it moving at about 1.9gb/s so now this one is almost there although it did seem alittle less stable moving up and down between 2.0 and 1.6 a few times before settling at about 1.9 while the p41 went at 2.0 and didnt look back. That being said, this deive moves that fast, whether its 1.9gb/s or 1.5 gb/s, and still sips slowly from the battery. While the p41 gave me 4 hrs at idle(2 hours less than the stock drive), this one got me up to about 6.5 to 7 hrs at idle and about 4 hours of use time. Believe me i know the battery life is still terrible so id rather not burn through it any faster than i already do. On top of that this drive also stays cooler than the p41. While the p41 sat at 41 to 46 degrees c at idle, this one sits at 31 to 35 degrees c.

excellent quality but delivery very slow

Bought this to increase the Ps5s internal storage capacity for $85USD.

As I have stated in another review, there are some really good drives out there for a decent price, and anyone of them you cant go wrong in buying them. In this case, Samsungs reliability of the product itself is why I bought this drive, actually two of them. These are for computer systems. Both systems have 16GB of memory, an Intel I5 at 3.9GB on a Socket 1200, 11th gen processor. Ok, so heres the but. Running a portable version of Crystal Disk Mark 8 V4, I consistently got roughly these figures. I measured the figures on both drives. So that means at least they both were consistent. I only looked at two figures, the Read/Write and the continuous Write. I ran Disk Mark about four or 5 times. So the figures are roughly what I saw.

I upgraded to two of these from an older, slower nvme. I am extremely happy with the speeds and would definitely recommend these. I bought them when the price dropped and I am extremely happy with this purchase. I would recommend this when upgrading memory!

I couldnt have asked for a better experience in adding size to my PS5. It was easy as pie to make the addition. Easy instructions online. And thank you for the good pricing.

Easy install worth the money

Works great on my laptop. Very fast ssd.
