    I recently upgraded my computer's storage with the Samsung SSD, and I'm thrilled with the results. Here's my review of this exceptional piece of hardware: Performance: The Samsung SSD is an absolute speed demon. Boot times, application launches, and file transfers are lightning fast. I've never experienced such a significant improvement in overall system performance. It has breathed new life into my computer. Reliability: Samsung is known for its quality, and this SSD is no exception. It's been rock-solid in terms of reliability. I've been using it for several months, and I haven't encountered any issues or data loss. It's a storage solution I trust. Capacity: I opted for the 1TB model, and it provides ample storage for all my files, applications, and games. If you need more storage, Samsung offers various capacity options to suit your needs. Installation: Installing the Samsung SSD was a breeze. It came with clear instructions, and the included migration software made transferring my data from the old hard drive a straightforward process. Durability: The SSD's build quality is impressive. It's solidly constructed and feels robust. The lack of moving parts reduces the risk of damage from shocks or vibrations, making it ideal for laptops and mobile workstations. Energy Efficiency: This SSD is energy-efficient, which translates to longer battery life for laptops. It's an environmentally friendly choice and a great option for portable devices. Price: While Samsung SSDs are not the cheapest on the market, you get what you pay for. The performance, reliability, and overall quality justify the price. It's a wise investment in the long-term performance of your computer. Support: Samsung provides excellent customer support and a reliable warranty. In case of any issues, I feel confident that I'll receive the assistance I need. In conclusion, the Samsung SSD is a game-changer for anyone looking to boost their computer's performance and reliability. It's a premium storage solution that lives up to its reputation. If you're willing to invest in quality, this SSD is a top choice for your storage needs.

    These Samsung SSD drives were a Tremendous improvement compared to the SSD drive that came with my computer, speeds are basically Double or more of what i had, I would Recommend the Samsung 980 Pro & 990 Pro.| I am using the 990 Pro as my main SSD Drive and using the 980 Pro as my secondary HD, When i can save up the money i am thinking of putting in a 3rd Samsung Pro for a Dedicated Back Up Storage so nothing else but my Computer's Back ups will write to it, I have the M.2 Slots might as well use them, 3 total PCIe 4.0x4 slots total.

    My friend built a PC for me but it was slower than my old one. He said lets go to Best Buy. So he took me there and I purchased Samsung - 980 PRO 1TB Internal Gaming SSD PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe, and now this is the best computer I have ever owned. Thank you Best Buy!

    I installed this on my gaming laptop alienware x17r1 RTX 3080ti I needed more space. This was a quick and easy installation. The difference was noticeable immediately, boot time was phenomenal. The responsiveness of loading games was so much faster than my old ssd. I will definitely buy Samsung from now.

    I love that the prices of these drives are getting cheaper. Its hard to even consider a Solid State drive when these are sometimes the same price for 7x the speed. My latest Asrock z790 motherboard has five M.2 slots making these a match made in heaven.

    Pros: Simple installation, excellent and stable speeds for gaming and professional tasks. Simplistic Samsung Magician software to monitor your drive's health and keep its firmware up to date with the click of your mouse. If you aren't tech savvy, such software is fantastic to keep this product up to date and operating at its peak! Cons: Price, you are getting what you pay for with these. Samsung has a good reputation, and it shows with their drives. Have not had a single Samsung drive fail me yet. I have two 1TB models and consistently build my customers systems with 970pro Evos which are an excellent alternative to this drive if your wallet winces at the price for the 980pros. Overall: Highly recommended for those looking for quality, simplicity and stability.

    Samsung 980 in RAID

    Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've always been quite happy with 980 PROs. They're the standard NVME I go to for my builds, and 1TB is the standard size. For my latest PC I was trying to convert to all-NVME (for the most part) as the mobo supported three internally plus a PCIE hypercard (can mount 2). All Gen-4. My last computer had a mix of gen-3 and 1 gen-4. I purchased a new 980 PRO here and put it in RAID with an older one, though updating firmware and other business was quite a bit more difficult than I thought. Perhaps not worth all the trouble of RAID, but that was what the mobo defaulted to, and that's how the backups and reinstalls of windows ended up. Plus I needed it, and IRST, for the hypercard I was determined to use. The 980s run very well by themselves. You can see a crystalmark run of the 980 by itself (non-RAID) in the black picture. Then a (non-OS) partition of the 980PRO-RAID in the white picture. Usually, updating firmware on Samsung drives is done through Magician, and it works most of the time. If you can't get it to work, though (RAIDing for example, or just other hardware hiccups) then you'll been to do it through a flash drive using SamsungBIOS. A bit more tedious. I had to physically re-mount the drives un-RAIDed to get the utility to recognize them. Or you can just not update the firmware... but Windows 11 is currently very much slower than Windows 10 and the firmware was supposed to ameloriate the NVME problems 11 is having by a bit.

    980 PRO 1TB is wonderful. This NVME drive can give you the maximum speed of NVME 4.0. I purchased this one for my new system. It is a blazing SSD in the market. However, you should know that only Ryzen 3000 or 5000 + B550 or X570 support this drive's full speed. I highly recommend this SSD to those who find a NVME 4.0 drive for their new system.

    I’m using this in a PCIe 3.0 x4 laptop. For the price difference of $10 I think it’s worth it over the 970 Evo Plus. Even in a 3.0 x4 config this drive is fast. It runs cooler than my 970 Evo Plus and if I ever upgrade I’ll have gen 4 speeds. I’ve never had issues with samsung ssds and highly recommend them.

    Best SSD on the market to date. I bought 2 and raided the drives together for unmatched performance. 9000+ Read/Write, runs cooler than the 970 pro and is PCIE 4.0. There aren't any other SSD's as fast as this so if performance is what you're chasing then look no further.

    I love everything Samsung. My monitor is a 43" (4K) Samsung Odyssey Neo. My phone is a galaxy S23. Previous monitor was a G5 Odyssey & all my M.2 slots are filled with either the 980 or the 990 pro! If you depend on getting your work done fast on your PC, there's no other option.
