Good price for fast storage

Got a stick on sale about a year and a half ago as an extra storage device. It works as advertised, and it's still the fastest storage I've got.

BEST INTERNAL STORAGE OF ALL TIME

2 of these in the pc, their Di for DRam sticks are the best in the world as well. Both 1tb 980 pros have been flawless, and still operate after 4 years pf daily loaded operation as if they were new. No I haven't tried them in raid, but they are perfect either way. Also 890evo 1 tb ssd I use as my proxmox bare metal server stack, and it's nice but wish it was a tiny tint tiny bit faster on the write speed.

980 PRO 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD: Blazing Fast

Samsung 980 PRO 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD: Six Months of Blazing-Fast Performance Six months ago, I made the jump to the Samsung 980 PRO 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD, and I can confidently say it's been one of the best upgrades I've ever made to my system. This drive isn't just fast; it's consistently delivered a level of performance that's transformed my computing experience. Speed and Responsiveness: The advertised sequential read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,100 MB/s, respectively, aren't just marketing hype. From booting my operating system in mere seconds to loading massive game levels and handling demanding video editing tasks, the 980 PRO has consistently delivered on its promise of lightning-fast performance. Applications launch instantly, and file transfers are completed in the blink of an eye. The difference compared to my previous SATA SSD is night and day. Reliability and Stability: After six months of daily use, including heavy workloads, the 980 PRO has shown no signs of slowing down or experiencing any issues. Samsung's reputation for reliability is well-deserved. The drive's heat management, even under sustained load, has been excellent, thanks to its nickel-coated controller and heat spreader. I've monitored temperatures using Samsung Magician software, and they've remained within safe operating ranges. Samsung Magician Software: Speaking of Samsung Magician, this software is a fantastic addition. It provides a user-friendly interface for monitoring drive health, optimizing performance, and updating firmware. The ability to check drive temperatures and run performance benchmarks has been invaluable. Storage Capacity: The 2TB capacity offers ample space for my operating system, applications, games, and large media files. I no longer have to worry about running out of storage, which has significantly streamlined my workflow. Overall: The Samsung 980 PRO 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD is a premium drive that delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and value. If you're looking for a high-end NVMe SSD that will significantly boost your system's performance, this is an excellent choice. After six months, I remain incredibly satisfied with my purchase and wholeheartedly recommend it. It's a true powerhouse that has significantly improved my computing experience.

I (mostly) love this product!

I bought the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB about 2 years ago and it is a high-performance SSD that delivers impressive speeds but while its sequential read and write speeds are among the fastest for PCIe 4.0, real-world performance doesn't always reflect the advertised numbers, especially for everyday tasks. The drive runs hot under sustained workloads, and if you get the non-heatsink version, thermal throttling can become an issue without proper cooling. Firmware problems in earlier batches raised reliability concerns, and although Samsung addressed them with updates, it left a stain on its otherwise solid reputation. Other than that, pretty solid product I do think it's worth the value because it's been working for me without fail.

Solid NVME SSD

Bought my Samsung NVME about a year ago and it's worked well. Speed is good, and temps are normal. I did have to install Samsung Magician for a firmware update, but I would still recommend Samsung's NVMEs as a solid choice in any build.

Fast and reliable

Samsung is renowned for producing high-performance SSDs, often leading the market in read and write speeds. Their NVMe drives, in particular, offer significantly faster data transfer rates than traditional SATA SSDs. Models like the 980 PRO and 990 PRO are designed for demanding applications, including gaming, video editing, and data-intensive tasks. Also the Samsung 990 EVO, is a very strong performer, giving great speeds, and also having good power efficiency.
