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 SSDs are the best. Works great on a Windows 11 gaming machine.

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.

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

Works great with Windows and Linux systems.

Highly recommended, but due to this SSDs heatsink, make sure your PC has the clearance to accommodate it, and also to ensure proper airflow. If you can afford it, I recommend the top-of-the-line Samsung 990 Pro version of this with a heatsink. Heard this SSD is strongly recommended for the PS5 & the newest generation of desktop & mini PCs that support PCIe 4.0 NVMe/M.2 2280 format SSDs.

Works

I got the 2 tb verson and now that my laptop can hold 3 of these, I now have a 6TB laptop, its not overkill for me atleast, but its worth every byte!

My wife and I have been using two units of Samsung Galaxy Book Flex since 2020. Initially, they came with Intel SSD 660p, possibly due to cost-down measure. The problem, however, was that the SSDs became slower than the moment we purchased. Especially my wifes Galaxy was problemetic; it took 45 minutes to scan her SSD (approx. 32 GBs loaded in a 512-GB SSD) with her antivirus app this year, which was almost twice as long as the case last year. Thus, I decided to replace Intel SSD with Samsung SSD 980 Pro.

Looked up a video to make sure I knew what I was doing but came packaged well not damaged and worked! 2tb gaming here I come!

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!
