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)

Reads and writes fast in my ps5 easy installation.

In total, I have three of these now. Two are in Z690 motherboards (one with an i7-13600K and another with an i5-12600K) and the other is in a Z390 (i5-9600K). For the i7 machine, the SSD is in the M.2 slot connected to the CPU directly and for the i5, its connected via the chipset. After running Crystal Disk Mark a couple of times there is no performance difference (indiscernible or otherwise) between the drive connected to the CPU directly (with the i7) and the drive connected to the chipset (with the i5). Both get close to 7GB/sec read times. Write times are about 4.5GB/sec, which is way faster than anything I need. Even though Im not totally blown away by their performance, theyre still very good SSDs.

I had originally gone with a WD Black 850X for my PS5 since it has such great reviews. Unfortunately, I either got a dud or my PS5 just wasnt compatible with it. I had tried everything suggested in threads as well to make it work, to no avail. Then, I got this lil diddy and boy oh boy, it makes the world of difference with no more headaches or unexpected shut offs! Im able to transfer and download any and all games I choose right to this SSD. Plus, once formatted from the start, it shows to have the whole 2tb of data available. This one worked wonders for me and Im glad the reviews were correct about the performance of the Samsung 980 Pro. Others may have similar problems depending on the company the SSD is from, but this one worked just right for me.

All capacities were in his range. His computer is much faster with new card.

Works great on my laptop. Very fast ssd.

Installed easily moved all info to it via Samsung site.

Bought this for my PS5. Got a great price and the installation was easy and the drive is quick and without any hiccups! Its a Samsung so it was well made and a great company that stands behind its products.

Very easy to install on PS5.

Going from a spinning platter hard drive to even a SATA SSD back in 2017 was a big step up. It was time to replace that old SSD with something new (SSDs are great but when they do fail I understand that they fail spectacularly and all of a sudden). For peace of mind I wanted a new drive and thought I would go with an NVMe m.2-connected SSD for the claimed speed bonus.
