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)

I bought the 2TB 980 PRO for my new PC build (specs below). It is used for gaming and video/photo editing programs. It is ultra-fast when playing games and generating content. However, it does not reach its advertised speed of 7000 MB/s. My SSD was reaching between 6700-6800 MB/s.

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.

I installed this into a new Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen-10 laptop. I cloned the 256GB SSD that came with the laptop to this SSD and replaced the 256 GB SSD with this 2TB SSD. It booted up nicely and recognized the SSD. I expanded the disk space and all works just fine. It runs very cool so am happy.

Muy rápida y disipa bien el calor.

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.

Works great with Windows and Linux systems.

Its a 1tb SSD. Not much else to say. I knew it was going to be great and not have any problems. Thats why I bought it.

After owning a PS5 since thanksgiving launch window. I always struggled with the system’s memory having a disc console only helped a little as even disc based games still require space on the ssd. The pain of having to constantly delete games to make space for new ones, and in some cases just to fit a games update got old pretty quickly. But initially the price to expand storage was just a little to steep to justify. But alas with more companies making the ssd that’s ps5 compatible the price was destined to drop. So when I saw a 2TB Samsung 980 pro for $179 I had to jump on it. Let me just say it was super easy install/format and now I have all my digital and disc games with plenty of breathing room for new ones and updates.

When the one terabyte drive that was in my laptop reported eminent failure, I picked one of these up and did a straight across clone. Then I adjusted my C partition so that I have twice the space that I had before. This has been very reliable for me and in fact since my laptop can take two drives, I purchased a second one in populated the other slot. So now I have 400% more space than was initially sold to me with the laptop. Very quality workmanship and reliable. I highly recommend this

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.
