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 purchased this to use in an external storage case and it works great. The data transfers are fast and storage is plenty.

Reads and writes fast in my ps5 easy installation.

Worked no problem. Some people say to flash the firmware on PC before installing it in a PS5, but I did not.. Fingers crossed!

I recently left a review for another nvme drive, the sk hynix p41. I said in it that that drive drained my battery in my new laptop alittle too fast for my liking. I took that drive out and switched it to this samsung 980 pro. I had mentioned in the p41 review that i thought the p41 was faster than this one. When i tranaferred a 16 gb file when i hooked this one up it transferred it at about 1.5 gb/s while the p41 did it at 2.0 gb/s. Thats nothing to shake a finger at, for either drive especially since both are faster than the 900mb/s my original wd drive moved at. That being said a recent firmware seemed to help this samsung drive because after it i transferred the same file and found it moving at about 1.9gb/s so now this one is almost there although it did seem alittle less stable moving up and down between 2.0 and 1.6 a few times before settling at about 1.9 while the p41 went at 2.0 and didnt look back. That being said, this deive moves that fast, whether its 1.9gb/s or 1.5 gb/s, and still sips slowly from the battery. While the p41 gave me 4 hrs at idle(2 hours less than the stock drive), this one got me up to about 6.5 to 7 hrs at idle and about 4 hours of use time. Believe me i know the battery life is still terrible so id rather not burn through it any faster than i already do. On top of that this drive also stays cooler than the p41. While the p41 sat at 41 to 46 degrees c at idle, this one sits at 31 to 35 degrees c.

This was so easy to install. I’m not a very computer parts tech savvy girl and this was so easy to install and then my PlayStation 5 did the rest. Now, instead of having to move PS5 games to and from and external hard drive I can have them all on my PS5 without issue. I bought this over lesser priced and lesser known brands because I wanted a company I trust in Samsung to avoid any potential issues with my PS5

The Samsung 980 2TB M.2 worked out perfectly! Very easy to install and setup on the ps5. Lots of room for games now! Awesome!

First installed in my PC to apply the newest firmware (since Ive read it improves performance when used in PS5) and found it already came with the newest revision.

Really pleasantly surprised with this m2 drive. This is the first NVMe drive I’ve purchased and installation should normally be quick and painless! The standoff m.2 heatsink that came with my X570 Aorus elite (wifi) MB decided to completely shear off under light pressure. Including the threaded piece that the standoff actually screws into.. Go figure.

I bought this to expand the storage capacity on my PlayStation 5. As expected, it was an easy install and was up in running in no time. Hardest part was getting the side plate off. I have been using this for about a month now and have had zero issues. Very happy to have this so I do not have to keep deleting games to make space on the console storage.

I bought two of these to expand my storage and they were really easy to just plug in and screw down. I bought ones without a heat sink because my motherboard comes with heat sink covers
