Product details
High-performance and cost-effective PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD for gaming and everyday applications.
Advanced V-NAND storage technology in a compact M.2 form factor (2280).
Advanced V-NAND storage technology in a compact M.2 form factor (2280).
High data transfer speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s (1TB version) - more than 6.2 times faster than SATA SSDs
Intelligent TurboWrite 2.0 with up to 160GB dynamic buffer memory for long-lasting high performance
Supports Full Power Mode for highest possible performance at low latency
Accelerate your PC to NVMe speed
Whether it's performance power for your games or fast processing of large graphics: With the SSD 980, you can help your computer achieve powerful performance. The 980 is a smart and cost-effective choice for high-speed SSDs - enabled by a PCIe 3.0 interface and NVMe technology.
Packed with power - for plenty of speed
High sequential read and write speeds of up to 3,500MB/s and 3,000MB/s (1TB version) respectively - so you can get going fast. The SSD 980 can be more than 6.2 times faster than a Samsung SATA SSD2.3 and uses Samsung's NVMe SSD technology to deliver high NVMe speeds.
Excellent choice for gamers
If you're working with large files or playing graphics-intensive games, you need strong performance. The SSD 980 supports Full Power Mode for high performance and low latency, giving you high potential NVMe performance for a fast-paced gaming experience.
Built to last
Keep your data safe with an SSD that's built to last. With up to 600TBW (1TB version) and a 5-year limited warranty², the SSD 980 offers high endurance and proven longevity. This is made possible by Samsung's proprietary technologies, including the advanced controller, V-NAND flash memory and the latest firmware.
Effective protection against overheating
High-performance SSDs require appropriate temperature management. To provide consistent performance, the SSD 980 is equipped with a nickel coating that can improve the heat level of the controller. In addition, a heat spreader dissipates the operating heat and can thus effectively regulate the temperature of the flash memory.
Practical Temperature Management
With Samsung's latest heat regulation algorithm, the SSD 980 can control temperatures independently to operate with durable and reliable performance. To minimize performance fluctuations in the long run, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology keeps the SSD 980's operating temperature at a suitable level.
Samsung Magician Software
Get the full power of your SSD 980 with Samsung Magician software, featuring intuitive and advanced features that let you keep an eye on your drive's health, adjust performance, protect important data, and keep up with essential updates - so you can really get the most out of your SSD.
