SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 500GB M.2 SSD Hard Drive (MZ-V8P500BW)

Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PRO gives you the power to take your PC to the next level. The PCIe 4.0 interface of the 980 PRO means twice the data transfer rate compared to the PCIe 3.0 interface. Backward compatibility with PCIe 3.0 increases usability.

The 980 PRO features Samsung’s own Elpis Controller, which ensures optimized PCIe 4.0 SSD connectivity. Read speeds of up to 6900 MB / s, which is twice as fast as PCIe 3.0 SSDs and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO reaches maximum speed with PCIe 4.0 and the speed may vary in other environments.

Designed for hardcore gamers and tech lovers, the 980 PRO offers high performance and power for demanding applications such as gaming, graphics, data analysis, etc. Games load quickly, so you can play more and expect less.

The 980 PRO board is a compact M.2 2280 model that is easy to connect to desktops and laptops as desired. It is ideal for building high-performance computer systems due to its optimized power efficiency.

High-performance SSDs generally require efficient thermal management. To ensure stable operation, the 980 PRO has a nickel-plated coating that helps control the thermal of the controller, as well as a heat splitter that enhances the thermal management of the NAND circuit.

Samsung’s advanced thermal management algorithm helps ensure that the 980 PRO keeps heat under control to ensure reliable and sustainable operation. To minimize performance fluctuations, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology keeps the 980 PRO's temperature at an optimal level.

Leverage the power of the 980 PRO with the easy-to-use yet advanced optimization features of Samsung Magician software. With Magician, you can check disk health, optimize performance, protect valuable data, and get important updates. This ensures that the SSD maintains the best possible performance.
