Next-level SSD performance Unleash the power of the Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PRO for your next-level computing. Leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface, the 980 PRO delivers double the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0 while being backward compatible for PCIe 3.0 for added versatility. * The NVM Express design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc. Maximum speed Powered by Samsung custom Elpis Controller for PCIe 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO is optimized for speed. It delivers read speeds up to 7, 000 MB/s, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs & 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO achieves max speeds on PCIe 4.0 & may vary in other environments. * Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version & the system hardware & system configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology being activated. The sequential write performances after Intelligent Turbo Write region are: up to 500 MB/s (250GB), 1, 000 MB/s (500GB) & 2, 000 MB/s (1TB). * Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor CPU@3.79 G Hz, DDR4 2666 M Hz 16 G Bx 2, OS-Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset-ASUS-X570-ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA * Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs & SATA SSDs. * To maximize the performance of the 980 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website. A winning combination Designed with hardcore gamers & tech-savvy users in mind, the 980 PRO offers high-performance bandwidth & throughput for heavy-duty applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics, & more. Its fast at loading games so you can play more & wait less. Efficient M.2 SSD The 980 PRO comes in a compact M.2 2280 form factor, which can be easily plugged into desktops & laptops for maximum board design flexibility. The drive is suitable for building high-performance computing systems due to its optimized power efficiency. Reliable thermal control High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 PRO uses nickel coating to help manage the controllers heat level & a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip. Smart thermal solution Embedded with Samsungs cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 PRO manages heat on its own to deliver durable & reliable performance. To minimize performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsungs Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980 PROs temperature at optimal levels.
