  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Capacity
500 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

Maximum 4KB Random Write
680000 IOPS

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    This review is about the capacity: 1000 GB

    Guys, I just bought the 980PRO as a secondary disk for gaming. In Windows, I use the SN750 and I am completely satisfied, but it's only 250GB.

    Basically, I am more than an "Enthusiast" when it comes to Samsung SSDs. I had the 830, 840, 850, 860, and then I switched to two 970EVO Plus. As I mentioned before, now I am using the 980PRO 1GB and I am torn between the 990PRO 1GB or the SN850 1GB for Windows and applications. Which one would you recommend and why? On one hand, I want both to be Samsung. On the other hand, if I judge by the SN750, we are talking about equally top-notch SSD... So guys, I need your input! Thank you in advance!

    This review is about the capacity: 1000 GB

    I got it for the Ps5. I saw in many videos on YouTube that they recommend it as "official" for the Ps5. The transfer of games happened very quickly. I also have an Nvme on the PC, but on the Ps5 the transfer was lightning fast. I didn't expect that. The other reason I got it, besides needing more space, is because I don't want to stress the main one of the Ps5 since if that one breaks, it can't be replaced because it's built-in (non-removable) and the Ps5 is done if something like that happens. So I will put all the load on this one.
