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

The Samsung 980 is a perfect culmination of storage technology, I find it to suit my needs as an open world gamer. Im running it on Gen 3 Asus ROG Maximus X Code. And benchmarks with over half used capacity show 3395mb/2728mb sequential and 326171/27381 IOPS on Random which is doing a perfect job for games with world streaming like Star Citizen. Game loads are in seconds not minutes and that makes for a happy gamer. The 980 also boasts solid longevity having good thermals for me its at steady 40c and a write life of 600 TBW backed by a 5 year limited. warranty. Now Im just waiting on a 2tb version to sweeten the specs.

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.

Maravilhoso. Chegou rápido tmb. Só me arrependi de não ter comprado um com mais espaço...

Sencillo de instalar, rápido y duradero.

Put this in a Gigabyte server motherboard. Instantly recognized, working without issue. Better than 400MB/sec transfer rate.

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.

Plug and play on a Windows 10 Pro system in two older PCs. Worked flawlessly with a SABRENT NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card with Aluminum Heat Sink (EC-PCIE) since one of the PCs didnt have an M.2 port. Highly recommended!

Pretty well made drive simple and easy to install just an fyi the scew is not included eith the drive so if its not on your motherboard you will need to make arrangements for that separately. This ssd gives you a good amount of speed and the overall performance is amazing this is a genuine drive to so I guess is just really expensive for the capacity on the drive other companies sell for double that capacity at the same price other than that all good.

This drive is very fast but only for pcie Gen3 drives, this drive, at this price, could have used gen4 bus, especially given the fact that most other vendors have already switches to gen4 pcie. The good thing is that this drive (just like the higher-priced, pcie4 pro version) are both built on TLC technology, while most other memory manufacturers have long switched to QLC, which doesnt last nearly as long but costs much less to manufacture.

Compre esta NVMe de Samsung por el simple hecho de que cuenta con una aplicación (Samsung Data Migration) que pueden descargar en la página de internet de Samsung que facilita la clonación de una ssd a otra (siempre y cuando una sea Samsung). Tengo una laptop y venia de fabrica con una M.2 de 120 gb por lo cual quise expandirla, pero al no poderlo hacer porque la laptop normalmente no tiene dos slots de M.2, así que compre una case externo de M.2, que hay muchos en amazon y de diferentes marcas, procedí a instalar la Samsung (esta estaba de forma externa) y luego descargue y abri la aplicación y luego la reconoció siendo fácil para poder hacer la clonación. No tardo en menos de 10 min y ya estaba clonada. Solo tube que instalar la Samsung en donde estaba la otra M.2 y quedo bien, pase de tener 120 gb a tener 1 T. (para todo esto recomiendo ver un tutorial)
