||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 980 works very well in the appropriate slot of a computer. In less "official" settings, not so much. It is not recognized, for example, in a Sabrent enclosure.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this SSD for my Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-55-70ZV. Installed with no issues.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes not have high read speeds for PS5
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The reason for the three star review is the read speed for PS5. After I installed the drive into the PS5 the PS5 recognized read speed was 5,000. Not as advertised. Apparently, you need install a firmware update on the SSD before the 7,000 read speed is recognized. Disappointed. Was sold by a best buy rep on this drive too. He mentioned the WD drive’s read speed are not as advertised when in fact it’s Samsung.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Samsung

Can't go wrong with Evo
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With prices of memory continuing to fall SSDs are becoming more of a value and should be considered as your primary OS drive. I’ve even taken much older Windows laptops and computers and installed 2.5” SSDs in them and the difference was night and day so every build I do now has M.2 SSDs or at least a 2.5” SATA SSD if the motherboard doesn’t support M.2 I did a recent Ryzen 9 PC build with an ASUS ROG X570-E Gaming motherboard. At the time of the build I had an older 512GB PCIe 3.0 M.2 SSD and since the motherboard has 2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 drive slots I knew I had to upgrade to something better eventually. I almost always use Samsung SSDs in my systems because of their reliability so the 1TB 980 Pro was a no brainer when I decided to upgrade. The installation was simple although my first attempt wasn’t successful and most likely because the external M.2 drive enclosure I had was most likely not Gen 4 compatible. So then onto Plan B which is installing the new drive into the spare M.2 slot on the motherboard. While the old drive was installed I downloaded the Samsung Data Migration software from their SSD website. I powered the unit off and switched off the power supply. I installed the 980 Pro into one of the M.2 slots, flipped back on the power supply and then booted up the computer. I then launched the disk cloning software and it immediately recognized the new 980 Pro even though it had not yet been partitioned or formatted. Following the software prompts I selected the new 980 Pro as my target drive and my older drive as the source. A few more intuitive clicks and the cloning software copied the partition and verified that the image was exact. The process was smooth as silk with no hiccups. In my case less than 100GB of my original drive was used so the whole process took less than 20 minutes. If you are doing a new build or just want to do a clean install on an older system then just install your favorite flavor of Operating System on the drive straight away. Once the drive was cloned I powered off the computer, removed the old drive and rebooted. Even though I had a SSD in the computer before the Samsung 980 Pro shaved at least 6 seconds off my original drive boot time (of course your mileage may very). I highly recommend Samsung SSDs to all my friends and if you are looking for a great PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD for your computer you can’t go wrong.
