Best SSD based on Performance/Size for your money

For what you spend on size of a SSD and read/write speeds, you really can't compete against Samsung and even then, you can be certain that it will be reliable for years on end that their SSD will continue to perform without failure.

Read/Write speeds seem to be pretty decent, always seems to wait on network downloads and disk download is finished ahead of time.

Samsung makes great drives...

I have both, the 980 Pro 1 TB SSD NVMe? M.2 1TB and 970 Evo Plus 1TB for my OS and the 980 for game drive. I have heatsinks on both, because my intel 9900KS cpu runs pretty hot and I didn't use liquid cooling. Both drives are spot on for read and write speeds as advertised and are way faster than the average user could ever need. i've had both for years. Obviously the 970 longer and have abuse them thoroughly, and they are both are running like the day I got them. Samsung makes great drives, great memory, and well worth every penny.

Outstanding!

I've been using the **Samsung 980 1TB NVMe** for several months now, and it's been a fantastic upgrade. From boot times to large file transfers, everything is significantly faster and smoother. It doesn't have a DRAM cache like the 980 Pro, but Samsung's Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology still delivers excellent real-world performance for most tasks - gaming, photo/video editing, and general productivity. Installation was simple, and Samsung's **Magician software** is a great bonus for monitoring drive health and updating firmware. I'm also impressed with the consistent thermal performance - it stays cool under load without needing a heatsink. For its price point, it's hard to beat. If you want a reliable, fast, and affordable NVMe SSD from a trusted brand, the Samsung 980 is a solid choice. Highly recommended for anyone upgrading from SATA SSDs or building a new system.

Blazing Fast, Terrific NVMe Storage

I have two of these NVMe drives in custom built computer, and they have worked almost flawlessly for the past 3 years. Samsung memory has never let me down, and it is very fast over 5000 MB/s. I use it with my PCIe Gen 4 slots, and I have used them in both RAID 0 and AHCI configurations. They've been functioning excellently with great drive health, and I just make sure to update my device drivers from time to time!

My experience with this nvme has been wonderful. It's been booting my PC extremely fast for over two years now. Even when half full of games, apps, and documents, it shows no signs of hindering which I love so much. It also downloads my games extremely fast. So far, nothing bad about it.

Fastest Nvme I've ever used.

This drive is by far the most stable and fastest drive I've ever used on my laptop. I installed a fresh copy of POP!-OS and everything works wonderfully. Way better than the crucial nvme and the stock nvme that I had. Samsung always makes the best in electronics. Thank you Samsung.
