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)

Samsung is synonymous to high quality so the drive itself needs no introduction. Just make sure you are giving it appropriate cooling depending on what you want to install it on. In a high airflow desktop PC with ample space to dissipate heat, it wont need more than the out of the box sticker which is also a cooling pad. If you want to install it on a laptop or a PlayStation 5, then you may need something better.

Installed easily moved all info to it via Samsung site.

For DL data sets. MSI Z690-P board came with standoffs and screws for M.2 sockets, the 980 had none, just the SSD with heatsink. I plugged it in, secured it with the screw, booted the system (Win 11), initialized the SSD, added a volume, and was done. Winsat showed 3716 MB/s random read, 7143 MB/s sequential read, 2306 MB/s sequential write, about 10 times faster than my older Crucial SATA SSD. Im very satisfied. Heatsink made sense, based on previous experience with a Mac SSD; there are inexpensive 3rd party heat sinks, but I opted for the Samsung built-in one.

I watched a few YT videos on installing this and it was a breeze. I kept this on my wish list until the 2TB version dropped to $149.95 and with a gift card I snagged it at a killer price.

Awesome buy for the PS5 Way more storage and super fast processing power.

I got the 1TB model on sale and it works amazingly well. I heard the 2TB models might have problems, so make sure to do your research before buying and make sure the product number is the right one, or just go with 1TB like I did and you will have 0 worries, but what you will have is blazing fast nvme ssd storage perfect for gaming with RTX on

So far so good. Got 2 TB at a good price, its the main drive in my new PC and its getting great throughput. Came preloaded with latest firmware according to Samsung Magician, so thats good for people who dont want to deal with that sort of thing.

This Samsung 980 Pro PCI-E 4.0 Gen4 M.2 Nvme Drive is so far the fastest Drive I have used so far... I have the 500GB Version installed in my M.2 Slot #1 (out of 3 total) that is dedicated to store my Windows 10 Pro x64 Operating System plus basic Programs... My startup time is mere seconds and everything is super fast... Highly Recommend this drive... was able to get around 6,900MB/s Read & 5,000MB/s Write Speeds using some benchmark software tho I didnt get screenshots... I could in the future I suppose but anyway this Drive is extremely fast... I am very big with Sabrent Brand Storage media personally due to their high speeds, new technology, & cheaper pricing vs Samsung however this 980 Pro was on sale at the time so I grabbed it and it performs exceptionally well...

I ordered this SSD (with the heatsink) for my PS5. Slide the cover off, unscrew the cover plate, remove the spacer and its screw, slide the SSD, place the spacer underneath,screw it in, and get the cover plate and then the PS5 baseplate back on.

Like most of us, we need more storage space in our PS5. This hard drive does the trick and it was super easy to install. Very pleased with this purchase.
