Noticeably Faster & Extremely Reliable

I've had the Samsung 980 1TB NVMe SSD for a few years now, and I have zero complaints. The upgrade made my entire system noticeably faster-from boot times to loading apps and games. It was also very easy to install, even for someone who isn't a tech expert. The drive has been completely reliable and keeps my PC running smoother than it ever has. The capacity is perfect, compatibility was seamless, and overall performance has stayed fast and consistent. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their computer's speed and no

FANSTATIC reliability!!

I have owned this product for several years, and I can attest to its exceptional durability and performance. My software currently indicates a 95% health status. I am providing this feedback in the earnest hope that I can replace it with a new Samsung SSD, as I am a dedicated Samsung enthusiast. I also recently acquired the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, which I highly recommend as well. Cheers!

Best-In-Class Storage Drive

Best drive I've ever used. Speeds and reliability beats out everything in its class. Switching from a sata SSD or HDD as your boot drive to an NVMe M.2 is a must, and for me, Samsung's have been the fastest and most stable.

Samsung 980 Pro

My experience with the Samsung 980 Pro nVME drive has been excellent. Since updating the firmware to the latest release it has been rock solid in terms of reliability. The speed has been more than sufficient for my needs and I can recommend it for both gamers and professionals. I have the 1TB model but it comes in various capacities, including 2TB and 4TB. The 980 Pro is a Gen 4X4 PCIE nVME drive but is compatible with both Gen 3 and 5 interfaces.

Great features

This drive is by far the fastest drive I have ever used. Not only that, it doesn't get hot at all. Running this in an external 80Gbps enclosure for file backup and sync, the drive gets warm, at best, and the enclosure fan does not even come on.

A Daily Gamers Honest Samsung 1TB 980 Pro Review

The Samsung 980 Pro with Heatsink is one of the most respected NVMe SSDs on the market - and for good reason. Built on PCIe 4.0 ×4 architecture and powered by Samsung's own Elpis controller, it delivers exceptional read and write speeds that rival even the PlayStation 5's internal storage.
