The new SSD NVMe speed King!
i recently finished building a new gaming pc using a motherboard capable of supporting pcie gen 4 and installed both a 500 gb and also a 1tb samsung 980 pro. i was extremely impressed with the read/write speeds, as they were spot on as advertised. both drives did not disappoint, i was able to receive over 6500 mb/s read speeds and over 5000 write speeds via the samsung magician app. through this amazing app, i was also able to optimize my drives through performance optimization. samsung hit a home run with the new 980 pro gen 4 pcie nvme ssds. if you are a gamer, i would highly recommend these!!!

Exceeds the hype
when both newsweek and time magazines placed bruce springsteen on their covers the same week, many discounted all the hype. but as we know, he lived up to the hype and has exceeded the hype for nearly 50 years.
this drive is another springsteen. it does indeed give sequential reads of 6500+ and writes of 5050+ along with random (iops) reads of 218,000 and random writes of 142,000.
you can feel how much more spritely it makes your computer run with every task you do - whether it be simple or highly complex.
be forewarned, my write speed fell down to 1,000 after two days and rebounded to full speeds two weeks later where it has remained. i know not why write speeds fell temporarily. samsung tech support told me that a driver for the 980 pro will be issued nov. 2020.

The Best SSD on the market
I have all samsung SSDs in my rigs in my home but my favorite is this 980 Pro 1tb. There is a dramatic increase in productivity. My machine is super fast and I don't experience any lag in video editing, game loading, file transfers, or work related activities. I really cannot recommend any other drive if maximum performance is the goal.

Transformer for Old Gen Machine's
This Samsung 980 Pro Nvme Drive is so far the fastest Drive I have used so far. I have the 1TB Version installed in my M.2 Slot #1 (out of 3 total) that is dedicated to store my Windows 10 Pro x64 Operating System plus basic Programs. My startup time is mere seconds and everything is super fast. Highly Recommend this drive. was able to get around 6,900MB/s Read & 5,000MB/s Write Speeds using some benchmark software tho I got screenshots. I could in the future I suppose but anyway this Drive is extremely fast... I am very big with Samsung Brand Storage media personally due to their high speeds, new technology, & cheaper pricing vs other however this 980 Pro. After installing, I migrated my 1TB data onto this by using the Samsung Migration tool. After I completed that I did some adjustments to have my SSD be displayed. After that I used Samsung's Magician Tool to clean both drives. After that I was good to go. Benchmarks don't lie. This thing is a rocketship.

The best thing for your new PS5
Since game console makers can't seem to come to grips with the fact that their sames take up so much memory and that they, for reasons unknown, still insist on releasing systems with only enough memory to store 3 games on (War Zone, Cold War and Vanguard) them...wanna play the new Resident Evil Village? Too bad because you can't...wait a minute! Yes you can! With the samsung - 980 PRO PCIe ® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 1TB you can increase that measly manufacturer supplied memory and store more games than the console itself does ND with zero lag, zero overheating and amazing performance! I give it all the stars and only wish I had been able to afford the 2TB lol

I bought this a few months ago. Easy to install on to the mobo but a pain for windows to recognize the drive. SATA drives pop up, but this m.2 was a bit of a hassle. Once I got this to work the drive was amazing and still is. Boot times and load times are insanely quick with no problems. Highly recommend.

Samsung’s 980 also stands out moe
NASamsung’s 980 also stands out with much more affordable pricing than the 980 Pro , a benefit borne of its DRAMless design that the speed makes it the highest-performing DRAMless SSD on the market.

Better and faster
I just installed this puppy, recovered my OS in less than 2 minutes (about 30GB compressed/100GB uncompressed) and I'm up and running. Ran CrystalDisk and it pegged reading around 6850 and writing just under 5000. I cannot get the theoretical fastest speed in the real world; copying from another NVMe only yields about 3000, which is still plenty fast enough (it might be a shared bus limitation or the speed of my other NVMe). I copied 50GB of large files (2-8GB each) to it in 18 seconds. Temps run around 45c idle, the max I saw is 56c under heavy load. The heatsink does a decent job, but I was hoping it would run cooler than my other NVMes that have aftermarket coolers. They all run between 42-47 idle. Overall, I have nothing to complain about. I have only been using it for an hour, but it's working great. And yeah, the title is a 4 Non Blondes reference.

Buyers Beware
i've been a strong supporter of samsung ssds for the past decade. when it was time to upgrade my pc, i decided to go for a samsung branded m.2 drive. unfortunately, it appears as though the qa/qc for samsung m.2 ssds did not meet the same standards as the 800 series.
please look up online about slow speeds (despite software updates). i bought my drive in february (so it's been about 9 months) with only 50% of the drive filled up, but it has already failed on me. look up online about 980 pro failed drive, there's numerous posts online about this issue with no solution. the fact that this is even a thing for so many people for a rather brand new drive is very concerning. not worth rma to deal with this again.

First SSD’s for me and I am happy!
I built a new PC to replace my older Win10 PC that doesn’t measure up to Win11 and instead of standard platter hard drives I went with Samsung SSD’s for the performance and ease of configuration. I used one 980 Pro for the C drive and another for a data drive. While the drives are great, the supporting software you can get for the drives is awesome as well. If you’re on the fence about drive type, Samsung’s 980 Pros are pretty awesome!

WOW! Screaming Fast!
Excellent M.2 NVMe SSD. My 1st build with an M.2 Drive. Very pleased with it. Unbelievable fast too.

Bought this and to replace the older 970 evo (migrated OS over). And wow boot up was noticeable faster.
