Q: Questionis this compatible with a CyberPowerPC - Gamer Xtreme Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i5-11600KF - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 500GB SSD

Asked 4 years ago by nick.

• A:Answer It should be compatible with any m.2 NVME slot. When you buy this, if you currently have a NVME drive and don’t have two NVME slots, you will need to purchase an adapter in order to use the Samsung cloning software. I bought my adapter for $14 on Amazon.

Q: QuestionHow about adding the endurance specification to your descriptions?

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer To be fair even Samsung won't list the TBW on their own website and if you haven't noticed these drives no longer use MLC they use TLC.

Q: Questionhi do i need a heatsink?? i got Msi gaming laptop Thank you

Asked 2 years ago by a667701.

• A:Answer a667701: 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. However, if you do want a heatsink, the 980 PRO with Heatsink delivers an additional layer of thermal control for smart heat management to reduce heat. With the added heatsink, play confidently on PlayStation 5 gaming consoles and PC systems without worries of sudden performance drops from overheating. - Samsung Memory

Asked 2 years ago by Marco.

• A:Answer As long as you have a NVMe 2.0 slot it will. This is a gen 4 x 4 so unless your motherboard supports that you won't get the full speed advantage.

Q: QuestionDoes this unit (model number MZ-V8P2T0B/AM) have an M key, B+M key or B key for the connection prongs? Can it be fitted to an M.2 NVME to SATA adapter? If so, which would you recommend? Thanks.

Asked 3 years ago by oldporkchops.

• A:Answer oldporkchops: Samsung NVMe SSDs use the “M-Key” (to leverage PCIe x4 for maximum performance) and cannot be plugged into an M.2 slot with a “B-Key”. - Samsung Memory

Q: QuestionCan anyone tell me if this is compatible with the AsRock z690 AC motherboard ? Thank you !

Asked 3 years ago by TheAsking.

• A:Answer does that MOBO have an M.2 port, then yes. The AsRock Z690-C/ac has 4 m.2 slots so I would assume yes you can but you didn't give me the full name of the MOBO you are asking about. Unless this is the one ur asking about then ur answer is YES you can buy 4 of them that board has 3 with PCIe 4 and 1 with PCIe 3, so only the 4th one would run at half the speed (3500) but still much faster than a regular SSD (550)
