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)

I had one of these in my gaming laptop and it was great. For my more stout gaming rig I went with the rocket q4 because they had slightly better read/write speeds.. and well.. regretted my purchase within 6 or so months. The benchmark speeds from day 1 were awful and no amount of tweaking with their software could fix it. The biggest issue is for whatever reason the MBR kept getting corrupt (sabrent kept saying it was a software problem and not a hardware problem and refused to warranty it) and locked the computer up. That meant every couple weeks or so I needed to reformat the drive, reinstall windows completely from a boot drive (because windows couldnt fix the problem on its own). Which meant i lost all my data as well (mostly games that I had to re-download, and partly because i was lazy and didnt connect my sata backup up, but still frustrating either way). I decided to go with this drive again for the rig and it was night and day different. Benchmarks were way better, faster boot, and havent had to reinstall windows again! Knew I should have went with this to begin with.

Una locura de velocidad de lectura y escritura a un muy buen precio, más que satisfecho

Adds extra storage for ps5 easy to install .I highly recommend buying this one as it includes the heat sink already installed

Good product to extend ps5 storage space with above requirement speed rating. Built-in heat sink and bery easu to install.

I trust samsung drives more than any other. Ive had solid state media from other brands die after a year. Sabrient rocket Gen 4 died in 8 months. SanDisk drive died after a year. I have 8 samsung drives and my oldest is a boot drive Ive had for 9 years its still fine. I have almost a dozen micro sd cards from Samsung, none have ever given me problems. I have 6 SanDisk micro sd cards. One died after 2 years. Also these drives are crazy fast, and prices have gotten pretty great recently.

Ive bought Samsung SSDs for years due to their reliability and speed. This is no exception.

Just as previous generation nvme drives, these perform as anticipated. No complaints, Samsung quality is always high. I also see improvements in gaming performance compared to the factory drive in my laptop.

Unfortunately did not fit my nephews laptop but I wouldve loved to have something like this for myself. We ultimately ordered the one without a heatsink. Windows made it very difficult to install this due to Bitlocker and other just pathetic, inconvenient standards. Absolutely nothing worked, not the keys, not the restores, not the backups, not the alternative boots. EVEN AFTER WIPING THE HARD DRIVE and putting a fresh OS on it, it refused to boot from anything other than the original hard drive. Eventually I found some work-arounds after an exhausting couple of days attempting absolutely everything I learned during my A+ certification... Works like a charm.

Good drive, a heatsink is recommended if you are a using it for photo and video work as it gets toasty in a laptop chassis. Mine came with latest firmware.

This deserves a 5 star review, but they do not include the screw to hold down the SSD.
