It's been a long old while since we've seen a high-end Samsung NVMe SSD and it has certainly been worth the w

Abstract: Under the hoods of the newest, skinniest laptops (and in the hollows of the latest desktop-PC motherboards), solid-state storage has undergone a transformation. Even if you're a close observer of all things tech, it's understandable if you didn't even rea...
Cons, High cost per gigabyte, Lower write-durability rating than previous SSD 970 Pro
Bottom LineSamsung's PCI Express 4.0-based SSD 980 Pro will delight upgraders and PC builders who have deep pockets (and a compatible AMD desktop platform). It delivers the fastest theoretical performance from a mainstream SSD we've seen to date...
Abstract: The overall size of the retail packaging is more or less the same as the last-gen 970 PRO with a slight edit on the cover image and labeling. Opening up the box and as usual, the M.2 2280-sized SSD fits tightly in the middle so it doesn't slide out during...
Excellent performance, Samsung Magician software included, Supports AES-256 bit hardware encryption, PS5-compatible, Good range of choices for storage capacity, Lengthy 5-year warranty
It can get rather hot, No heatsink included, Endurance rating could be better, Cost per GB is a bit on the higher side
The 250GB Samsung 980 PRO SSD is on the pricier side but if you're willing to stomach the price, it does have a lot to offer...

Abstract: Last year, we reviewed one of Samsung’s latest 980 PRO M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD. It was only a 500GB capacity, so the performance was not that stellar. Today, we check out the 980 PRO 2TB capacity, offering slightly faster read and write speeds. In fact, I was waiting for this 2TB version so that I can compare it with WD’s latest Gen4 SSD with the same capacity. Which one do you think will be the fastest Gen4 SSD? Will it be the Samsung 980 PRO or the WD Black SN850? Find out in our Samsung 980 Pro 2TB review/comparison below.
The Samsung 980 Pro is the company's first entry to the Gen4 NVMe SSD market. They are not the first or one of the first in the Gen4 SSD race, but their 980 Pro has the fastest sequential read and write speeds in the market. For reference, most early Gen4...
While the Samsung 980 PRO could really reach very high maximum speed that other SSDs could not attain, its high performance was not replicated across different types of SSD storage operations. There are times when the Samsung 980 PRO performed well, but a...
