Next-level SSD performance
Unleash the power of the PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 980 PRO for next-level computing. The PCIe® 4.0 delivers 2x the data transfer rate of PCIe® 3.0 while staying backward compatible for total versatility. The added heatsink elevates speed, power efficiency and thermal control to maximise gameplay.
Maximum speed
With Samsungs in-house controller for PCIe® 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO Series is optimised for speed. It delivers read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s, 2x faster than PCIe® 3.0 SSDs and 12.7x faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO series achieves max speeds on PCIe® 4.0 and may vary in other settings.
Smart thermal control
Samsungs nickel-coated controller reliably manages NAND chip heat levels. The 980 PRO's heat spreader label allows thermal control access. The 980 PRO Heatsink uses proven data centre SSD technology to dissipate heat, for continuous high-performance gaming on most consoles and PC systems.
A winning combination
Gamers, techies and designers benefit from thermal control, high-performance bandwidth and sustained performance for heavy-duty applications. Games load fast for more play, less wait. Smart heat management reduces distracting noise and cooling fans work for uninterrupted, fully immersive gaming.
Efficient M.2 SSD
The 980 PRO with Heatsink minimises space limits with a thin 8.6mm body, compatible with PlayStation®5 plus desktops and laptops meeting PCI-SIG® D8 specs. The 980 PRO's compact, easy to plug-in M.2 form factor maximises board design flexibility for building efficient, high-performance systems.
Samsung Magician software
Unlock the full power of the 980 with Samsung Magician's intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you're always getting the best performance out of your SSD.
