Samsung - 980 PRO 1TB Internal Gaming SSD PCIe Gen 4 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: 7000 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 5100 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 4 x4 (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

A: I will recommend to wait cause the software has not enabled the expantion upgrade, it will see it but will not work to its full capacity, wait for Sony update, be safe
Q: Do the read and write speeds depend on my current internet speed?
A: No. Read and write speeds depend on the processor and your motherboard you are using.
A: Samsung is still the most reliable manufacturer. Other brands release great drives that compete well with Samsung. However, be cautious with other manufacturers. The other manufacturers such as ADATA, Sabrent etc... release drives that stack up and compete well with Samsung, however over time, they often change components as a cost saving measure resulting in performance that is inferior to their originally released offering and not on par with Samsung.
Q: Would this be noticeable in a third gen mother board speed wise compared to 970 evo plus
A: nope. the letters are red though :o
Q: Will this work on a HP OMEN Laptop?
A: David, I'd check out the HP Support website, or you can also check out Crucial.com. There, you can put in the exact model number of your HP Omen, or download their scanner and it will tell you all of the RAM and SSD upgrades that your computer supports. Obviously, this will only tell you for Crucial brand products, but if it shows that you can upgrade to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and storage to a P-Series 2TB NVMe drive, then you can also look for those products in other brands. I use Crucial Scanner to check for upgrades for most of my computers! Super handy! After you download and run the scanner, click on Storage to see drives your computer supports. If there are any NVMe options in the product list, then compare the specs/requirements to the Samsung 980 Pro. If they are both PCIe NVMe (Gen 3 or 4) then you are most likely good to go! Best of luck! https://www.crucial.com/store/systemscanner
A: I have an older system with a Z370 chipset with M.2 PCI-E 3.0 slots and see on avg. 3520 Read and 3300 Write with Random IOPS of 124500 Read and 85000 Write.
Q: DOes this need a heatsink for the ps5 and if so which one?
A: The Samsung 980 Pro does not come included with a heat sink. For PS5, Sony says you must use a heat sink. I recommend, EZDIY-FAB M.2 SSD heatsink 2280, Double-Sided Heat Sink, High Performance SSD Radiator for PC / PS5 for PCIE NVME M.2 SSD or SATA M.2 SSD- Black It fit perfectly on my 980 Pro and fits perfectly inside my PS5. There are some articles online that will have list of PS5 size perfect heat sinks.
Q: I have a Dell XPS 8500 i7 3.40 GHZ 64 bit. What would be a compatible 1TB ssd.
A: As long as it has an available M.2 slot it should. Just remember you will have to format the drive once installed in order for it to function.
