Questioni have HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-ec0101ax laptop . so can i use samsung 980pro 500 gb ssd ......is it compatabile with my laptop
Asked 4 years ago by raju.
- Answer The manual to your laptop says that it supports an NVME drive, but that chipset only works at PCIe Gen 3.0. Yes it will work but you won't get the full PCIe Gen 4.0 speed. For that price you can get a Gen 3.0 1TB size. For an added speed boost make sure your laptop has two RAM sticks installed so it will run in dual channel mode. Most laptops come with only one installed.
  I would recommend:
  - Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 500GB Internal SSD PCIe Gen 3 x4 NVMe

QuestionDo I need to buy a heat sink for this ssd?
Asked 4 years ago by Ced.
- Answer This doesn't come with a heat sink, so you'll need to buy one if you want or need a heat sink. Depending on your intended use you can opt to not use one but you risk damaging it if you run your PC or Console intensely and it gets pretty hot. I always say it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

QuestionDoes the curical come with a heatsink
Asked 4 years ago by Craig.
- Answer It does not and I would suggest getting one if your motherboard does not include one. It runs very fast in a Gen4 M.2 slot, but hot 52C. With the large heatsink I have on mine it runs 42-44C.

Questionis this item compatible with the Alienware M15 R3
Asked 5 years ago by AYEITSJAYFLOW.
- Answer I too have an Alienware M15 R3, but run a 500GB Samsung EVO Plus in it. I've had no issues w/that model, so I expect the same when it comes to having a Samsung 980Pro as well, other than being a little faster perhaps. I also run a Samsung 1TB Samsung 980Pro in an Intel Intel Hades Canyon, which I just acquired, and haven't had any problems w/that one either. I'm able to run the game Star Citizen, a very graphics intensive game, w/no problems on either system.

QuestionOn an x570 motherboard, will you see a noticeable difference between this drive an the 2tb 970 evo plus and if so should I have the 980 pro as my boot drive?
Asked 5 years ago by Brian.
- Answer I currently have the X570 MEG ACE MOBO by MSI and just upgraded to this NVME last week from a 970 EVO PLUS and after installing all the new BIOS and firmware/drivers I reinstalled windows and to be honest i cannot tell the difference from my 970 EVO PLUS [If anything theres maybe a 2-3 second difference]. To be fair boot time was already around 10 seconds so Im not sure what I was expecting since thats already pretty dang quick....if Im being 100% honest I guess I just love pushing todays tech to its limits to see what it's capable of. Maybe thats why I spent 1,600 on my GPU alone lolol

QuestionHas anyone tried to clone this from an internal SATA 3 SSD with the Samsung software and had any boot issues????
Asked 5 years ago by etp7.
- Answer I used samsung data migration application to clone from 850 Pro 256GB to this 980 Pro. There is no issue. After finished, the software automatically turns the 850 GB offline (in disk management of windows 10), so the windows boots into the 980 Pro smoothly without any issue. Just make sure bios of computer allowed to boot on "UEFI"

QuestionI was thinking about using this with an enclosure on a ps5/Xbox SX. Could that decrease speed, and downgrade graphics as compared to internal ssd? Thanks
Asked 5 years ago by Rondo.
- Answer That, will not work. The ps5 drive has to be installed internally and the on the xbox this will only work for current gen games but not next gen. You might as well buy the Seagate drive for the xbox.

QuestionIs an add-on heat sink required/advised for this?
Asked 5 years ago by Help4me.
- Answer The drive itself does have a built in heat sink. I suppose there might exist a use-case where you'd want/need additional heat dissipation but I started pushing this thing pretty hard with some video editing and photo editing and never saw any slow down.
