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)

Excellent storage drive, no problems with heat or storage. Only issue was the Samsung firmware malfunction that was causing these drives to prematurely die which has since been patched.

I started doing video editing and needed more storage on my Lenovo Yoga 6 so I bought this 2TB drive. 256GB just wasnt cutting it now. I also bought the SSK Aluminum M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter.

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

I didnt realize the fans in the Precision 5770 were so close to the SSD sockets. The heatsink was tall enough that it hit the fan case and wouldnt allow the drive to seat in the slot correctly. I might have been able to force it, but I didnt want to damage the slot. I returned the drive for the same model without the heatsink (and it works great). I like the idea of a built-in heatsink - but not for this laptop.

Everything youd come to expect from Samsung and more! Easily connects to a Playstation 5 with detailed instructions, its basically just plug and play, and transferring has never been faster!

6500 read speed, 1000 faster than internal ssd read speed. You know what I had to do. I put 20 games on this bad boy and its trucking right along no problems no crashes, did had to rebuild the database after a few weeks, dont know what thats all about. Anyway, I really like this 2tb SSD , Im a Samsung fan and it forced me to clean out all the cat hair and dust in my ps5 its like new!

I paid 99.99 for 1 terabyte. and its a trusted brand. bests the 229 theyvstarted off at. for 100 or less with heatsink 1 tb definately worth it. If over 100 justvwait and youll find it gotta have patience

Everything works as expected.

Easy install and fast!

My PC has an old Asus AMD M5A99FX MB (but no onboard M.2 slots). So I bought a “AMPCOM M.2 NVME SSD to PCIe 4.0 Adapter Card” to allow me to put this NVMe in an available PCIe 2.0 x4 slot on the MB. Worked well as any disk should, in Win 11, but was not bootable (not the problem of the SSD or the adapter card) this was an issue with the old BIOS, which did not support booting a NVMe type of drive. The fix is getting an upgraded BIOS (not available on the MB manufacture BIOS updates site). Solution - I bought a “ BIOS patched for NVMe booting” and problem is solved. Even on my PCIe 2.0 backplane I got a significant bump in performance, see attached pictures, with all related info.
