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)

Just installing it in a new Win 10 Dell Optiplex 3070 SFF tonight, so will revisit as I get time on the drive. BUT, this SSD needs a M.2 Standoff and Screw to install in my machine. I dont know if that is universal but I expect so because otherwise the SSD sits right on top of the motherboard on the screw side (on an angle). There was a screw in my MB but it wasnt obvious until I went to install it that it has to have a standoff and associated screw. I dont mind that it needs the standoff but, geez, at least include one or call it out in the specs. Im lucky enough to have a lifetime of hardware bits so could cobble one up. If youre ordering this drive, search for M.2 Standoff and Screw and get a kit of them for $5-6.

Its a fast NVME.

Ever since my upgrade from an SSD. My computer has been blazing fast! I have bought 3 so far and each one has had no issues !

I completely slipped up purchasing a NUC with a HDD for a drive a couple of yrs ago (instead of a machine with a SSD). Had been meaning to upgrade for some time now and had been on the fence about the expense vs the how much faster will my computer be? thing. Also, I am not computer savvy, so, I also was procrastinating b/c I didnt want to mess with my computers internals.

So, I have been using this memory since may 2022 and I have to say that everything has been all right. Of course the most important thing before you buy is trying to review most options you may have, and that’s what I did and went for the most cost effective option.

Works great so far, super fast and tons of storage. Have used Samsung storage for everything and have always gotten great use.

I got this to use in a 1L system; it was found right on boot and worked w/o any issues.

Ive been using a 250 GB 970 EVO for a few years now as my Windows disk and to house some smaller games. Performance had been magnificent so when I decided to replace an aging HDD for my large games I decided to stick with Samsung and went with this 980 PRO.

Works as advertised, and it fits perfectly under my GPU. Temperature stays quite cool under heavy use.

Great product, easy to install and massively sped up my load times on my games. Initially had a problem with it trying to boot from the SSD and not detecting my HDD with my os. Just make sure your boot device in in SATA 1 port. I had my HDD in SATA 6 for cable management reasons and the onboard M.2 comes in the boot sequence after SATA 1.
