Needs a PCIe 4.0 supporting motherboard to get the best from it, Tested 4K performance couldn't match the official maximum figures, Kitguru says: It's been a long old while since we've seen a high-end Samsung NVMe SSD and it has certainly been worth the w
When the first few examples of SSD's using the PCIe Gen4 interface began to hit the market there was one manufacturer conspicuous by their absence, namely Samsung. While the PCIe Gen4 SSD market segment seems to have gone quieter than a quiet thing, Samsu...
Are you looking for the best? Look no further. With the fastest performance we have seen from a NAND SSD yet, Samsung's 980 Pro makes other NVMe SSDs look slow...

Cons, High cost per gigabyte, Lower write-durability rating than previous SSD 970 Pro
Bottom LineSamsung's PCI Express 4.0-based SSD 980 Pro will delight upgraders and PC builders who have deep pockets (and a compatible AMD desktop platform). It delivers the fastest theoretical performance from a mainstream SSD we've seen to date...
Abstract: The overall size of the retail packaging is more or less the same as the last-gen 970 PRO with a slight edit on the cover image and labeling. Opening up the box and as usual, the M.2 2280-sized SSD fits tightly in the middle so it doesn't slide out during...
Excellent performance, Samsung Magician software included, Supports AES-256 bit hardware encryption, PS5-compatible, Good range of choices for storage capacity, Lengthy 5-year warranty
It can get rather hot, No heatsink included, Endurance rating could be better, Cost per GB is a bit on the higher side

Abstract: Last year, we reviewed one of Samsung’s latest 980 PRO M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD. It was only a 500GB capacity, so the performance was not that stellar. Today, we check out the 980 PRO 2TB capacity, offering slightly faster read and write speeds.
