SAMSUNG 980 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Gaming M.2 SSD

The power of the Samsung 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD can be unleashed for next-level computing. With a data transfer rate that is 2x faster than PCIe 3.0, the 980 PRO maintains compatibility with PCI® 3.0. The NVM Express design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc. Comparisons are based on Samsung PCIe NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs, with performance variability depending on the SSD's firmware version, system hardware, and system configuration. Measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0, with write performances measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology being activated. The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are up to 500MB/s (250GB), 1,000MB/s (500GB), and 2,000MB/s (1TB).

To maximize the performance of the 980 PRO, users should check if their system supports PCIe 4.0 on the Intel or AMD website. The test system configuration consisted of an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor CPU @ 3.79GHz, DDR4 2666MHz 16GBx2, Windows 10 Pro 64bit, and an ASUS-X570-ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA chipset.

The 980 PRO is raising the bar for NVMe SSDs, offering next-level SSD performance. It is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 and boasts sequential read and write speeds of up to 3500MB/s and 3400MB/s (500GB), respectively. The random read and write speeds can reach up to 690K IOPS (500GB/1TB) and 620K (250/500GB), respectively.

Designed for hardcore gamers and tech-savvy users, the 980 PRO provides high-performance bandwidth and throughput for demanding applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics, and more. Compact in its M.2 2280 form factor, the 980 PRO optimizes power efficiency, making it ideal for building high-performance computing systems.

To ensure stable performance, the 980 PRO utilizes nickel coating to help manage the controller's heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.
