  • Competitive price, Highly capable, Black PCB
  • Not the fastest, Not the cheapest, Not the biggest
  • The Samsung 980 is a far cry from the 980 Pro. Though that's to be expected, since it's a PCIe 3.0 model, it doesn't do as great a job leading the pack as past Samsung SSDs have done. It's a strong drive, but just edged out by the competition at pretty mu...

  • It seems to have taken an eternity but Samsung has finally launched the successor to the venerable SSD 970 EVO in the shape of the SSD 980.The new drive is the company's first DRAMless design. Instead of using a DRAM chip, the drive relies on Host Memory...

  • Given similar performing drives are ever so slightly cheaper, it is hard to recommend this on a price scale. However, being a Samsung drive you do have that added bit of security so if you can find one at a good price, don't hesitate too much. Don't forge...

  • Overall, one of the best solutions at present for NVMe SSD storage
  • Exact hardware required to meet optimum speeds
  • The price of the latest NVMe M.2 SSD's can be hugely high, but the enhancement in speed and overall performance of your computer and applications can make them a worthwhile purchase.Just look at the difference one makes to the Mac Pro (Late 2013), althoug...

  • Amazing real-life performance, Much more affordable than PCIe Gen 4 drives, with similar performance, Very fast random writes (for a DRAM-less drive), Lack of DRAM cache not visible in benchmarks, Large SLC cache, No thermal throttling, Five-year warranty
  • Expensive for a TLC DRAM-less drive, Low write speeds once SLC cache exhausted, Lack of DRAM can be problematic for some scenarios, PCI-Express Gen 3, Largest capacity available is 1 TB
  • The Samsung 980 1 TB SSD is currently listed online for $140. Amazing real-life performance Much more affordable than PCIe Gen 4 drives, with similar performance Very fast random writes (for a DRAM-less drive) Lack of DRAM cache not visible in benchmarks...

  • Solid overall performance, Write performance can be sustained for longer than other drives, Price (but could be better), SSD Magician software, 5-year warranty
  • Not the fastest Gen3 drive out there, Once HBM cache is exhausted write performance takes a significant hit
  • When it comes to Samsung solid state drives we typically know what to expect, but with the SSD 980 things are a little bit different. This is really the first drive Samsung has released that was made for the value market and comes with a DRAMless design...
