Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PRO
Unleash the power of the Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PRO for your next-level computing. Leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface, the 980 PRO delivers double the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0 while being backward compatible for PCIe 3.0 for added versatility.
Maximum speed
Powered by Samsung custom Elpis Controller for PCIe 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO is optimised for speed. It delivers read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s¹, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs² and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO achieves max speeds on PCIe 4.0 and may vary in other environments³.
A winning combination
Designed with hardcore gamers and tech-savvy users in mind, the 980 PRO offers high-performance bandwidth and throughput for heavy-duty applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics, and more. It's fast at loading games so you can play more and wait less.
Efficient M.2 SSD
The 980 PRO comes in a compact M.2 2280 form factor, which can be easily plugged into desktops and laptops for maximum board design flexibility. The drive is suitable for building high-performance computing systems due to its optimised power efficiency.
Smart thermal solution
Embedded with Samsung's cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 PRO manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980 PRO's temperature at optimal levels.
Reliable thermal control
High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 PRO uses nickel coating to help manage the controller's heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.
Samsung Magician software
Unlock the full power of the 980 PRO with Samsung Magician's intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you're always getting the best performance out of your SSD.
World's No.1 Flash Memory
Experience superior performance and reliability that you can only get from the world's No.1 brand⁴ for flash memory since 2003. All firmware and components, including Samsung's world-renowned DRAM and NAND, are produced in-house, allowing end-to-end integration for quality you can trust.
¹Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version and the system hardware & system configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology being activated. The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are: up to 500 MB/s(250GB), 1,000 MB/s(500GB) and 2,000 MB/s(1TB). ²Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs.
³To maximize the performance of the 980 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.

With its exceptional speed, durability, and ease of use, the Samsung 980 PRO is definitely worth considering if you're in the market for a high-performance SSD.
PROS
+ Good price for class-leading all-round performance
+ Samsung migration software worked flawlessly
+ Not a DRAM-less design or cheaper QLC NAND like the budget 980
+ Does not require over-provisioning as a default but you can set it up like this
+ Samsung Magician software has performance profiles for the drive (e.g. full power, energy saving)
CONS
- As usual, no screw, thermal pad or even instructions in the packaging
- Thermals can get high without proper cooling (light use brings it to 44-45C with a solid aluminium heatsink)
- PCIe 4.0 does not seem as fast as expected and boot times are not noticeably faster
- Samsung migration software failed the first time to clone a drive (but this may be due to the NVME enclosure)
Honestly, I am clutching at straws to criticise the product with my two main gripes being heat generation and the similar boot times from the previous generation 970 EVO. Highly recommended - backed by Samsung quality, performance and warranty - just make sure you cool the drive adequately.
