Samsung - 980 1TB Internal Gaming SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe
- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 3500 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 3000 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: M.2 2280
- Interface(s): PCIe Gen 3 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Harness your PC's potential with the 980. Whether you need a boost for gaming or a seamless workflow for heavy graphics, the 980 is a smart choice for outstanding SSD performance — and it's all backed by an NVMe* interface and PCIe 3.0 technology.
- Upgrade to impressive NVMe speed: Harness your PC's potential with the 980. Whether you need a boost for gaming or a seamless workflow for heavy graphics, the 980 is a smart choice for outstanding SSD performance — and it's all backed by an NVMe¹ interface and PCIe 3.0 technology.
- 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 3,500/3,000 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.
- Built for the long run: Keep your files safe with an SSD that's in it for the long haul.
- 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.
- World's No.1 Flash Memory Brand: Experience the performance and reliability that you can only get from the world's number one brand for flash memory since 2003⁶.

Q: As of 17 march this listing is incorrectly labeled the 980 PRO. This NOT the pro version.
A: You are correct. I ordered this product and received the normal version instead of the PRO. If you order this, you will receive the regular 980 and not the 980 PRO.
Q: Is this compatible for the new asus tuf f15 laptop? Thanks!
A: Yes it is! I have the same laptop!
Q: Am I correct in assuming that this is M-Keyed?
A: Yes, it is M keyed using PCIe x4 bus. Per this article on M.2 from Dell: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000144170/how-to-distinguish-the-differences-between-m-2-cards it’s form factor matches the SSD labeled D in the diagrams.
Q: Is this compatible with Acer nitro 5 gaming laptop?
A: I have one of the earliest models of the Nitro 5, and it installed in mine just fine. Couple warnings though: If you want to refresh your operating system after installing it (recommended to avoid hardware glitches), you'll need to remove any additional hard drives (otherwise it errors out). Another thing: after refreshing the operating system, it will only recognize the SSD until you install all of the Windows updates. After installing the updates, any secondary drives will show up again.
Q: hi, Is this compatible for the HP Notebook - 15t-da200 laptop? Thanks!
A: From what I can see your motherboard has a m2 slot made for 16 GB PCIe® NVMe™ Intel® Optane™, Now Optane modules sold in 16GB and 32GB capacities are meant to work as a cache memory bridge between RAM and storage, allowing for faster data transfer between the memory, storage, and proccessor. From what I can see and have tested with similar nvme/m2 slots. You can use higher data modules just fine. You might have to turn of raid in settings or such to get it to work depending on your motherboards bios. You can use this slot as a harddrive
Q: Is this compatible with the MSI GE75 Raider? Thanks
A: Bri: Yes. Specs for the MSI GE75 Raider indicate compatibility with the 980 SSD. - Samsung Memory
Q: is this compatible with a Laptop HP17-Z-ca100, AMD Rizen5
A: Danlec: Yes. The HP 17-Z ca100 supports M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, which makes this drive compatible. - Samsung Memory
Q: Is this ssd compatible with the Dell - G15 laptop series?
A: Yea, just installed mine, just needed the heatsink and bracket kit.
