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)

Whats not to like about a 980 Pro with a Samsung-made heatsink? Turns out its not very laptop friendly. Make sure you have a ton of space if you wanna put this beast in your laptop. I hear PS5 users love them though

Finally being able to grab a PS5, my next purchase was to get some additional memory, since the new console really doesn’t have much. Installation is pretty easy, the PS5 recognized it immediately and formatted it within a couple minutes. After setting this as the default storage for the console, I installed several games with no issues. Installs were fairly quick, with the exception of downloads taking their time for digital games or in my case, updates after installing the disk version. This memory has good speed and having used a Samsung SSD as a computer boot drive for years, I know the memory is reliable. The memory also has a good 5-year warranty, which may get tested in a console. I do think these are a bit pricy even on sale, but if you play a lot of console games, a necessary purchase.

After that, my computer took on new colors.

Ordered this for a new build because the price was right, barely costs more than a 1tb 990. Works great for me coming from 840 and 860 sata drives, way faster.

Screw into the PS5 nvme slot and it gets immediately configured on the first start. The read speed was around 6000 mb/s which is better than the ps5 minimum read/write. The 2TB gave me plenty of space for games.

This is installed on a gaming PCIe 3.0 build so It cannot take full advantage of PCIe 4.0 but you get futureproofing for a small fee.

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.

The product it self is great. But it could have not been. I ordered a big mouse pad with it and Amazon decided to ship both together in a big box... With No Padding!!! My 980 Pro was just sliding around in the big box with no protection from any side! Come on Amazon.. pack sensitive items better please. Im giving a 5 star for the product.. NOT for shipping.

As a consumer of the Samsung 980 Pro NVMe SSD, I have experienced both positive and negative aspects of this product. Firstly, I recorded impressive read and write speeds of 2244 MB/s and 2180 MB/s respectively using an external ACASIS 40Gbps NVMe Enclosure. However, I noticed that the temperatures of the drive can get up to 39-40 degrees Celsius, which has been a concern for some users.

Not sure if I got a returned unit, if someone tampered with it in transit, or if the seal was broken during package handling. but the seal was broken upon arrival. Otherwise this is a great drive.
