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)

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.

As I have stated in another review, there are some really good drives out there for a decent price, and anyone of them you cant go wrong in buying them. In this case, Samsungs reliability of the product itself is why I bought this drive, actually two of them. These are for computer systems. Both systems have 16GB of memory, an Intel I5 at 3.9GB on a Socket 1200, 11th gen processor. Ok, so heres the but. Running a portable version of Crystal Disk Mark 8 V4, I consistently got roughly these figures. I measured the figures on both drives. So that means at least they both were consistent. I only looked at two figures, the Read/Write and the continuous Write. I ran Disk Mark about four or 5 times. So the figures are roughly what I saw.

my dell XPS 8950 came with a 1 tb disk drive, I replaced it with 1 tb Samsung 980 pro, it came with a app to move My OS to it, straight forward and easy, I put the original OS drive away in case of future problems, I can just plug it back in and I have the original OS. I immediately noticed the loading faster. so far so good, now to see how it holds up over time.

Good reliable storage. Only SSD i am running and no hard disk. Just dont go downloading every game you own or youre gonna slowdown when it gets to like 80%. I just have like 3 games and some programming tools and I swap out games here and there. Im at like 400gb and have noticed no slowdowns at all. Fast installs as well.

its a sammy, so what else can be said, right! well, ill try.

I love it and it works great

Its a great size for my laptop and I was able to move all my games and apps from the HDD to my C: drive after replacing the little 256gb the laptop came with. Its been fast and reliable so far.

It works well speeds are more than good enough for the PS5. Can’t speak to longevity but the price is nestled pretty well for the brand and included heatsink. Overall no complaints.

I was surprised to read some of the reviews on this ... Samsung is normally solid as a rock. Ive used it routinely for my PCs, I didnt even think twice about it. When I went to write this review - thats when I saw others with negative reviews about it.

I love this. Work perfectly
