Customers frequently mention the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 980 PRO 2TB Internal SSD's incredible speed and consistent performance. Many are satisfied with the storage capacity and find it easy to use. Some customers have noted concerns regarding heat, packaging, and firmware updates.
980 PRO is raising the bar for NVMe SSDs, delivering read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s². With a PCIe 4.0 interface, it is 2x faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs³ and 12x faster than Samsung SATA SSDs⁴
Designed for hardcore gamers and tech-savvy users, the 980 PRO offers high-performance bandwidth and throughput for heavy-duty applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics, and more. It’s fast at loading games, so you can play more and wait less.
The 980 PRO comes in a compact M.2 2280 form factor, which can be easily plugged into desktops and laptops. Due to its size and thus optimized power efficiency, it’s ideal for building high-performance computing systems
High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 PRO 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.
Embedded with Samsung’s cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, 980 PRO manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance, while minimizing performance fluctuations during extended usage
