Fast and reliable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used the Samsung nvme drives because they're fast and last. Went 980 pro with my latest build and happy that I did. Windows 10 load time is sub 5 secs, games (Wasteland 3, Assassins Creed) load times are in the neighborhood of 15-25% faster.

Good once updated.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well for PS5 once updated. Be advised, to maximize speeds for PS5, you must update SSD firmware first using an M.2 slot on a PC. This made it difficult as I did not have a PC with M.2 readily available. Best Buy tech support/Geek Squad was no help at all when I asked them to update it in the store. They did not even know what I was talking about. Frustrating!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product. Works as expected. It would be better if it included software to help backup and consolidate partitions.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for PS5. But…..
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for the PS5, but you need to purchase a heat sink. They run about 10-15 dollars. If you don’t get the heat sink you can feel the difference in performance.

980 Pro
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have an X570 MB and wanted to upgrade to an PCIE4 SSD. I expected faster boot times with the 980 Pro but I didn't see much difference from my original 970 EVO Plus. Using Samsung Magician bench marks, the 980 Pro did 7100 MB/s in sequential reads, twice as fast as the 970. In random reads got only 3500 MB/s, about the same as the 970. I guess that is why the boot times were about the same since booting Windows 10 is mostly random reads.

7GHz for 2x cost
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Note this product is only supported at this time by the really new high end AMD, and not by Intel chipsets yet. Perhaps 11th gen Intel. Don't buy unless that is your target, else you are paying 2x for something you will not need.
