    I purchased this to upgrade the 512GB drive that came in my new Gigabyte Aorus. To say that this is fast is an understatement. I've literally cloned hundreds of drives in all form factors from HDD-SSD-M.2 NVMe. When I say that the entire clone took all of 5mins and 50secs, I'm not joking. I think the Seagate is rated faster, but this thing is remarkable. My Passmark rating is in the 99th percentile and literally doesn't get much better than that. I have no complaints and I'm glad I made the purchase. Would highly recommend, but to get the best performance, ensure that you have the ability to utilize PCIex4 or you're wasting your time and may be disappointed.

    I buy these SSDs for the incredible reliability above anything else, the speeds are just the cherry on top. I out my SSDs through the absolute ringer, and I have never had any samsung SSD fail me, not even the ones that long since exceeded the expected lifespan. Do yourself a favor, if you need to ensure your data won't fail, buy the best.

    If I could rename this SSD I’d name it Max Verstappen M.2 SSD, the simple fact that this SSD is just as fast as Redbull Formula 1 Driver and World Champion Max Verstappen is insane, fast read and writing speeds that match Max’s lap times… but with great speeds comes great heat and this applies both to this SSD and to a Ferrari F1 engine, if you put it under heavy loads it will overheat the same way Carlos, Sainz engine overheated to the point of catching on fire like it did at the Austrian Grand Prix.So make sure tou add a heatsink to it

    Blazing fast NVME SSD that was a huge upgrade for my gaming PC. I used this drive to install a fresh version of Windows and move all my old files over. It was a very easy process on a new motherboard as well. It fit without any issues and so far reads and writes are almost unbelievable fast. I was able to move 40GB of data from my old 2.5" SSD in maybe 4 minutes tops. If you are looking for fast, easy to use storage then this is the drive for you. I was also able to get it for $120 for the 1TB which only makes it easy to recommend if you can wait for a similar sale.

    Samsung 980 Pro PCLE 4 M.2 SSD works fine

    The Samsung 980 Pro 1TB PCIE 4.0 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive installed quickly, formatted properly, and worked flawlessly with the Windows 10 operating system. The build included: MSI 570X - AMD 4 socket motherboard, Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, two Corsair Vengence 16 GB memory sticks, a 2060 graphics card, a Corsair water cooler, and a Corsair 750 watt power supply. The Samsung 980 Pro 1TB was in the PCIE 4.0 socket, and an older Samsung 0.5 GB SSD (used for back-up) was in the secondary socket. The computer was much faster than previous builds - the start up times for W10 and for Witcher 3 were about 30% faster than my previous build - an i7 9700K Intel CPU build.

    I bought this hard drive on sale. It works great and fixed my computer problem. Now my computer works faster than it did with the original hard drive and has more memory. It was easy to install. The guy online who helped me find the right hard drive for my computer was helpful and knowledgeable.

    Great Upgrade for Generation 4 Laptops or DT

    Bought this drive on sale because the laptop I bought only came with a 512GB drive (Hynix). The 980 Pro was on sale so I bit. After a little research, found out the primary drive was a Gen 3 occupying a Gen 4 interface. After imaging the 980, I moved it to the Gen4 and it was almost double what the original drive benched. The thing I would recommend is a heat sink spreader or non-conductive foil that it does not come with. Otherwise, Samsung SSDs rock!

    First used in my Ps5, installation was super simple and it worked great. I used it with a cheap heat sink from amazon ($6), and like I said it was perfect. I got a PC shortly after I purchased this and decided to transfer it over to the PC for more storage. Taking it out of the ps5 was also super simple, and putting it into the pc was also easy. Works great in the PC as well, haven’t had any issues with it
