High-performance SSDs typically require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 uses a nickel coating to manage the controller's heat level and a heat spreader label to provide effective thermal control of the NAND chip.

Smart Thermal Solution

Integrated with Samsung's advanced thermal control algorithm, the 980 manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimize performance fluctuations over long distances, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology keeps the 980's temperature at optimal levels.

Samsung Magician software

Unlock the full power of the 980 with the smart yet advanced optimization tools of Samsung Magician. Monitor the health of the drive, optimize performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you always get the best performance from your SSD.

Full of Speed

Go for it. The 980 leverages almost all the speed advantages of PCIe 3.0 through HMB technology and impressive NVMe performance. The DRAM-less design offers exceptional value, achieving staggering sequential read/write speeds of up to 3,500/3,000 MB/s, over 6.2 times the speed of SATA SSDs.

The No. 1 flash memory in the world

Enjoy the superior performance and reliability that you can only get from the world's number one flash memory brand since 2003. All firmware and components, including Samsung's world-renowned DRAM and NAND, are produced in-house, allowing for end-to-end integration for quality you can trust.

    Installed in an HP Omen laptop. So far it works as it should, without lagging or easily overheating. On the other hand, in games the loads & writes are really fast.

    There's a reason they're expensive. Put it in, enjoy, relax. Of course, don't stop taking backups. But the chance of the disk failing on you has vanished.
    If you work with your PC, have no doubts. You're in the right place. With Samsung.

    Positives:
    Very good speeds for PCIe 3.0: reads at 3,500MB/s and writes at 3,000MB/s

    Samsung reliability – with the Magician software you can monitor temperatures, SSD health, and perform firmware updates

    Does not reach high temperatures, even during continuous writing

    Ideal for OS disk, games, video editing, and generally everything

    Negatives:
    Does not have DRAM cache (it is a DRAM-less SSD) like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, for example.

    This unit has taken parts from the next series that is PCIe 4.0. As a result, it provides very good Dram-less performance for its price. Along with the diagnostic software (eco/performance mode) and the MLC technology of the drive, you can expect it to maintain the performance you buy for many, many years.

    If you want to have more than 3-4 games readily available along with all the software, then get the drive with a capacity of 1TB.

    For the past 10 years (almost), I have been exclusively using Samsung hard drives. Excellent drive... excellent speed... but it has an issue with temperature. Those of you who know how to monitor the drive's temperature, do it and see what I mean. It is not possible for it to reach temperatures of 76 oC+ during the transfer of large files (or Samsung Magician Benchmark) ... and all of this now with an almost ideal external temperature of 25 oC !!!

    At around €30, I think the price is worth it for a disk with a 5-year warranty. I got the 500gb one and used it for booting Windows, and it's really excellent in terms of speed, pretty much as advertised. This is the third identical disk that I've purchased. Its software is complete for monitoring its health and for creating a clone of your disk again if you want.

    Great value for money. I got it for the operating system and it's lightning fast!
    The installation is simple, but keep in mind that by installing such a disk, some motherboards cancel 1-2 SATA slots. So if you can't find the other disks after installing the M.2, change the SATA position on the cables of those you can't see.

    So far so good. I bought it as a backup since my main one is starting to slow down. Speed isn't a concern for me as I mainly use it for videos and games that take up space. Everything loads quickly and smoothly.

    The 980 is perhaps the best value for money and top in terms of performance/reliability SSD on the market, and is a "mother" for hosting a user's operating system and programs.

    The disk "clicked" onto a Gigabyte B360M DS3H, was recognized immediately and ran smoothly (without any changes to the BIOS). The programs that come with it are also very good (download Samsung Magician and Migration Tool). The migration from an HDD with about 500GB of content was done in less than an hour (and can be done directly from the operating system, just disconnect the PC from the internet to avoid any updates and close all running programs). The speeds are at the promised levels.

    Although this specific SSD does not have a DRAM Cache, it is truly amazing! Fast, reliable, and comes with a nice software (Samsung Magician) where you can see its temperature, how many reads/writes you have done on the disk, as well as its remaining life. For this price, I definitely recommend it without hesitation.

    Top. Replaced a similar product from another company that claimed to have the same speeds as Samsung in its specifications but never reached them unlike this one.

    Very good M2 for storing games.
    It has eliminated load times compared to past SSDs.

    One of the best I have tried. It has a slight difference from a previous SK Hynix I had. No issues so far and I would recommend it for value for money. The review is for the 1 TB.

    Reliable, fast, with stable read/write performance.
    I believe it fully justifies its reputation and price.

    I bought it for desktop to run Windows 11 and some small files in general, it is fast, high-quality, and does the job correctly within 8 seconds, the PC has been turned on. In terms of speed, I have made file transfers and they are done in less than 8 minutes.

    At around €30, I think the price is worth it for a disk with a 5-year warranty. I got the 500gb one and used it for booting Windows, and it's really excellent in terms of speed, pretty much as advertised. This is the third identical disk that I've purchased. Its software is complete for monitoring its health and for creating a clone of your disk again if you want.

    He installed a 120GB internal SSD on his laptop (Asus) with an extension, it was attached and finally, it's not exactly 500GB but everything is okay.

    Great value for money. I got it for the operating system and it's lightning fast!
    The installation is simple, but keep in mind that by installing such a disk, some motherboards cancel 1-2 SATA slots. So if you can't find the other disks after installing the M.2, change the SATA position on the cables of those you can't see.

    So far so good. I bought it as a backup since my main one is starting to slow down. Speed isn't a concern for me as I mainly use it for videos and games that take up space. Everything loads quickly and smoothly.

    Fast and reliable in operation, perhaps a bit pricey but Samsung's storage options always have greater value and a better quality-price ratio over time.

    The second Samsung hard drive I have is a 860 250GB for large Windows games that used to take me hours to load with the old mechanical hard drive, now they open instantly.

    The 980 is perhaps the best value for money and top in terms of performance/reliability SSD on the market, and is a "mother" for hosting a user's operating system and programs.

    The disk "clicked" onto a Gigabyte B360M DS3H, was recognized immediately and ran smoothly (without any changes to the BIOS). The programs that come with it are also very good (download Samsung Magician and Migration Tool). The migration from an HDD with about 500GB of content was done in less than an hour (and can be done directly from the operating system, just disconnect the PC from the internet to avoid any updates and close all running programs). The speeds are at the promised levels.

    Very good at transferring large files due to its technology that uses memory from the system as cache. In my benchmarks, it delivered what it promised, perhaps a little more in writes.

    I am sharing an image of the performance of the 1TB version. I am completely satisfied, it was recognized directly by the system (Asus Rog B350-F Motherboard) and I generally recommend it for its price.

    Great disk! Choose it! You will definitely be satisfied with its performance because it does what it promises and with a difference! It is from a well-known company and has a 5-year warranty.

    Although this specific SSD does not have a DRAM Cache, it is truly amazing! Fast, reliable, and comes with a nice software (Samsung Magician) where you can see its temperature, how many reads/writes you have done on the disk, as well as its remaining life. For this price, I definitely recommend it without hesitation.

    The evaluation concerns a capacity of 1T. So far, I have successfully installed Windows 10 and my games are running smoothly without any issues. The performance and temperature are excellent, with a temperature of 28c.

  • Installed in an HP Omen laptop. So far it works as it should, without lagging or easily overheating. On the other hand, in games the loads & writes are really fast.

  • There's a reason they're expensive. Put it in, enjoy, relax. Of course, don't stop taking backups. But the chance of the disk failing on you has vanished.
    If you work with your PC, have no doubts. You're in the right place. With Samsung.

  • Positives:
    Very good speeds for PCIe 3.0: reads at 3,500MB/s and writes at 3,000MB/s

    Samsung reliability – with the Magician software you can monitor temperatures, SSD health, and perform firmware updates

    Does not reach high temperatures, even during continuous writing

    Ideal for OS disk, games, video editing, and generally everything

    Negatives:
    Does not have DRAM cache (it is a DRAM-less SSD) like the Samsung 970 EVO Plus, for example.
