Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PRO

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.

Maximum speed

Powered by Samsung custom Elpis Controller for PCIe 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO is optimised for speed. It delivers read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s¹, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs² and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO achieves max speeds on PCIe 4.0 and may vary in other environments³.

A winning combination

Designed with hardcore gamers and tech-savvy users in mind, the 980 PRO offers high-performance bandwidth and throughput for heavy-duty applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics, and more. It’s fast at loading games so you can play more and 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 and laptops for maximum board design flexibility. The drive is suitable for building high-performance computing systems due to its optimised power efficiency.

Smart thermal solution

Embedded with Samsung’s cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 PRO manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980 PRO’s temperature at optimal levels.

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 controller’s heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.

Samsung Magician software

Unlock the full power of the 980 PRO with Samsung Magician’s intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you’re always getting the best performance out of your SSD.

World’s No.1 Flash Memory

Experience superior performance and reliability that you can only get from the world’s No.1 brand⁴ for flash memory since 2003. All firmware and components, including Samsung’s world-renowned DRAM and NAND, are produced in-house, allowing end-to-end integration for quality you can trust.

¹Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version and the system hardware & system configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology being activated. The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are: up to 500 MB/s(250GB), 1,000 MB/s(500GB) and 2,000 MB/s(1TB). ²Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs.

³To maximize the performance of the 980 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.

Fearless performance: sequential read speeds up to 7,000 mb/s performance may vary based on system hardware & configuration
Performance that puts you in command: pcie gen 4.0 x4, nvme 1.3c interface. Encryption support: AES 256-bit Encryption (Class 0) TCG/Opal IEEE1667 (Encrypted drive)
Experience the best: m.2 (2280) form factor surpass the demands of tech enthusiasts and professionals
Get the ultimate sustainable performance: the 980 pro delivers up to 2 tb with a 5-year limited warranty
Designed for tech enthusiasts, hardcore gamers and professionals who need reliability
Genuine PCIe 4.0 NVMe speed (up to 7,000/5,100MB/s for read/write speed)
Ideal for heavy computing, high resolution graphics and PC gaming. For console gaming, compatible only with Playstation 5. Must be installed with a heatsink (sold separately).
Compatibility 980 PRO is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0. Sequential performances (up to): 3500MB/s for reads, 3470MB/s (2TB) for writes. Random (up to): 680K IOPS (2TB) for reads, 630K IOPS (2TB) for writes.
