SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 Internal Solid State Drive Memory Card + 2mo Adobe CC Photography, Maximum Speed, Thermal Control (MZ-V8P2T0B)

Just Purchased a PS5 with Hogwarts Legacy and The Last of Us. Quickly realized that I will run out of storage space soon. And by soon I mean 1 or 2 more games.Additional storage was the answer. Very easy to install and instantly quadrupled the amount of storage I have available..Runs smoothly and beautifully , as if factory installed! This IS the answer..

I put the the Samsung 980 PRO in a Acasis Enclosure. Easy to put together and has great speeds with my Mac mini M2 16GB/512GB. Tests in Blackmagic: steady at W:2800+ MB/s, R:2700+/- MB/s.

Works as intended . Easy to install

Ive been using Samsung drives in my main build for 6+ years now and never had a failure. This drive should be no different. I downloaded Samsung magician and made sure it shipped with the latest firmware. Runs a little warm under my motherboard heat spreader, but that seems normal for gen 4 drives without active cooling.

This is a nice middle ground between the more expensive 990 pro and the slower 970. With twice the read/write speeds of the 970 and being half the cost of the 990 while only being about 90% of the speed is great value. Im going to be using this until PCIE 5 ssds come out and become cheaper.

Have both versions of the PS5. And installed this SSD to expand the memory for games and such. Only wish I could of afforded the 2Gig or higher, but then I would be spending more then I did for the consoles. Easy as pie to install and then is configured and recognized by the console. Have had one for almost a year and still runs well and the other for 6 months no problems. Except for price.

I had originally gone with a WD Black 850X for my PS5 since it has such great reviews. Unfortunately, I either got a dud or my PS5 just wasnt compatible with it. I had tried everything suggested in threads as well to make it work, to no avail. Then, I got this lil diddy and boy oh boy, it makes the world of difference with no more headaches or unexpected shut offs! Im able to transfer and download any and all games I choose right to this SSD. Plus, once formatted from the start, it shows to have the whole 2tb of data available. This one worked wonders for me and Im glad the reviews were correct about the performance of the Samsung 980 Pro. Others may have similar problems depending on the company the SSD is from, but this one worked just right for me.

I like when a brand does something well.

Did a bit of research on which SSD was a good fit for me in order to upgrade the memory in my PS5. This met all the needs was super easy to install and transfers info back and forth with the systems memory very quickly.

Like it so far. Insanely fast windows boot.
