  • 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.

Description

Description

The MARS 980 BLADE is a Gen5 SSD for gaming, designed for laptops, with PCIe Gen5 x4 and NVMe 2.0 support. The compact design ensures consistent performance even in tight spaces, optimized for AI workloads and compatible with the latest Intel and AMD platforms. Wherever it is installed, it is built to push boundaries.

6nm Control, Game Changer

Manufactured with TSMC's advanced 6nm process, the MARS 980 BLADE offers superior performance relative to power, reducing heat generation in PCIe 5.0 SSDs and eliminating the need for bulky cooling, making it ideal for laptops and compact systems.

Expanding the storage capacity of the PS5

The MARS 980 BLADE uses a PCIe 5.0 transmission interface and can be installed in the PS5 as an expansion hard drive to address the PS5's storage insufficiency issues. The MARS 980 BLADE not only fits perfectly into the PS5's drive slot but also provides a smooth and lag-free gaming experience while enjoying triple-A masterpieces.

High Capacity

The carefully selected 232-layer 3D NAND flash memory allows the MARS 980 BLADE to have an extremely large capacity of up to 4TB, and the SSD uses a variety of data protection and error correction technologies to significantly improve the TBW (Total Bytes Written) and durability to meet high-load demands.

Capacity
4000 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.

Blade

Upgrade older Apple computers with SSD hard drives.

Check the compatibility of your computer model to ensure it is compatible with the specific product.

Performance

Read Speed

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.
Maximum 4KB Random Write
1950000 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.
