The Samsung 980 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD is designed to maximize the potential of the PCIe 3.0 interface for everyday computing, gaming, and heavy workflows. By leveraging Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology, which links the drive directly to your system's DRAM, the 980 overcomes the limitations of traditional DRAM-less drives. This efficiency allows it to achieve impressive sequential read speeds of up to 3,100 MB/s and write speeds of up to 2,600 MB/s, making it over 6 times faster than standard SATA SSDs.
Built with Samsung's reliable V-NAND technology and an optimized in-house controller, the 980 ensures consistent performance and longevity. It features advanced thermal control solutions, including a nickel-coated controller and a heat spreader label, to deliver stable performance without overheating during extended use. Additionally, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology automatically monitors and maintains optimal operating temperatures to prevent performance drops.
The drive is supported by the powerful Samsung Magician software, offering a suite of tools to monitor drive health, optimize performance, and protect valuable data. With a robust endurance rating of 300 TBW and a 5-year limited warranty, the Samsung 980 provides the reliability and speed essential for modern PC builds and laptop upgrades.
