Packed with Speed
Satisfy your need for speed with PCIe 3.0, using HMB technology² and NVMe interface for high efficiency. The 980 delivers value, without sacrificing sequential read/write speeds up to 3,100/2,600 MB/s³, over 6.2x the speed of SATA SSDs⁴.
Keep Moving with Full Power Mode
Keep your SSD running at its peak with Full Power Mode, which drives continuous and consistent high performance. Enable through Samsung Magician software to keep your SSD in active mode with no latency, so you can instantly jump back into large intensive work files or graphics-heavy games.
Built for the Long Run
Keep your files safe with an SSD that's in it for the long haul. With up to 300 TBW⁵ the 980's optimized endurance comes with trusted reliability thanks to Samsung's in-house solutions, from the advanced controller to V-NAND and the latest firmware.
Reliable thermal control
High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 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.
Smart thermal solution
Embedded with Samsung's cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, 980 manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance, while minimizing performance fluctuations during extended usage.
Samsung Magician software
Unlock the full potential of 980 with Samsung Magician's advanced, yet intuitive optimization tools. Monitor drive health, optimize performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you're always getting the best performance out of your SSD.
Customer reviews
Great NVMe drive for the price, what wasn't entirely clear upfront is the corners that were cut to get to this attractive price/performance combo. The short answer is this drive has no dedicated dram on board, most Samsung NVMe drives have a dedicated dram chip that is used for buffering command queues, so in the situation where a drive is being asked to pull a bunch of small files all at once or write a bunch of small files all at once the dram helps to queue up these commands and ensure that things get done in as efficient of manner as possible. This drive lacks that dedicated dram, but while historically that has proved to be a detriment to performance Samsung has pulled a rabbit out of a hat here and actually implemented a system that works pretty darn well while utilizing system memory. So in extremely low RAM setups this drive may not perform as well, in most typical cases (8-16GB of system memory) this drive you can expect to perform as well if not slightly better than a 970 Evo NVMe (see picture for benchmark results, the generally slower of the two being my 970 Evo, and the 980 the other). That being said, I'm not sure I'd run this drive as a primary OS drive, or in some kind of home file server or game server situation, but it will do fine as a primary OS drive for most people while not necessarily providing optimal speed, but its definitely at home as a secondary drive to store videos/games/music/photos. If you're looking for a primary drive I'd probably still steer people towards either a 970 Evo (or better) or another drive with dedicated dram, but if you're looking to save a buck with minimal compromises or just need a secondary NVMe drive this will probably tick all of the boxes.

The Samsung 980 is the best Gen 3 M.2 SSD I've Owned.
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2021
The Samsung 980 is a perfect culmination of storage technology, I find it to suit my needs as an open world gamer. I'm running it on Gen 3 Asus ROG Maximus X Code. And benchmarks with over half used capacity show 3395mb/2728mb sequential and 326171/27381 IOPS on Random which is doing a perfect job for games with world streaming like Star Citizen. Game loads are in seconds not minutes and that makes for a happy gamer. The 980 also boasts solid longevity having good thermals for me it's at steady 40c and a write life of 600 TBW backed by a 5 year limited. warranty. Now I'm just waiting on a 2tb version to sweeten the specs.

What i like about Samsung is they have good pricing and fair one, the same can not be said about WD.. remember the fun times when HDD price double for no good reason just cause of WD and Seagate controlled the market, yeah i dont want that to ever happen again.
Performance is same to EVO 970 Plus and tad better, i think they are using very similar firmware and controller, but a tad better, also dont worry about lack of RAM its better performance I benched like 2-5% only but the cost is amazing.
Umm in windows OS i have weird bug where the temp would show 84c however it will jump like from 40c to that and get stuck on that value, it seems its BUG in magician cause in Linux I can see it reasonable 33c-40c so dont worry about that.
Maybe this bug cause im dual booting WIndows and Ubuntu ?
