Upgrade to breathtaking NVMe speed Its time to maximize your PCs potential with the 980. Whether you need a boost for gaming or a seamless workflow for heavy graphics, the 980 is the smart choice for outstanding SSD performance, & its all backed by an NVMe interface & PCIe 3.0 technology. * The NVM Express design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc. Packed with speed Get right to it. The 980 harnesses nearly all the speed advantages of PCIe 3.0 through HMB technology & dramatic NVMe efficiency. The DRAM-less design delivers exceptional value, achieving breakneck sequential read/write speeds up to 3, 500/3, 000 MB/s*, over 6.2x the speed of SATA SSDs. * Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version, system & hardware configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent Turbo Write technology activated. The sequential write performances after Intelligent Turbo Write region are: up to 250 MB/s (250GB), 500 MB/s (500GB) & 900 MB/s (1TB). * Test system configuration: Intel (R) Core (TM) i 7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 G Hz, DDR4 2133 M Hz 8 G Bx 2 OS-Windows 10 Pro 64bit Asrock Z-170 Extreme 7+ * Results are based on a comparison with Samsung SATA SSDs. * HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology enables the SSD to use the DRAM of the host system for read/write caching & buffering.
