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)

Easy as hell to install. Cut my boot time from over a minute to under 30s. Cloned my main drive to this and its so nice.

The drive failed within less then a year of purchase. I understand hardware can fail. My issue comes with the lack of customer service on this. I first had to mail the drive to Samsung. I then waited for almost a week with no updates available as the website tracker doesnt update so I called again. The rep told me a replacement drive had been ordered but they could not provide me with any tracking status and transferred me to the department that could provide me the status. Unfortunately I was on hold for over an hour and no-one picked up my call and I had to hang up. I then received an email stating the drive was going to be replaced and that the drive had been ordered and once the service department received it they would then ship it to me and I could get tracking details. After waiting 3 days for with no update I called yet again and they again could not provide any update. At that point requested a refund so I could purchase an WD drive knowing their drives are generally very reliable and in the event one of their drives does fail you have a new drive within a couple days. I have no doubt this drive itself is probably a very good drive and I just happen to get a bad one, that happens but when the customer service is the opposite of customer service I cant recommend this drive or Samsung for this reason. I have had a couple WD drives fail me in the past and they immediately send out a new drive provided the failed drive is under warranty and provide you a timeline to return the failed drive or youll be charged. Very easy and great service, you can have a replacement drive within 2 days and be back up and running. Unfortunately Samsung doesnt value their customers enough to provide actual customer service. Im now on 2 weeks without my PC due to this and Im on hold with Samsung attempting to get a refund while writing this review. This is beyond a joke and unacceptable for a company like Samsung. I will never purchase another drive from Samsung. I will update this review after Im done being on hold for however long and whatever whoops I have to jump through to get this resolved.

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.

Great drive, top notch, except the bad firmware debacle! If you bought the 2TB version, make sure to update your drives firmware before the drive destroys itself.

Took 5-10 mins to install. PS5 read it at 6,250 was faster than Sony recommend.

Installed on my PS5. The heat sink thing confused me but I bought the 2T one with heat sink and it’s all one piece I think. I just plugged in and followed YouTube instructions and have had zero problems. Recognized immediately as Soon as I turned on my ps5. Moved 80% of my games over. Took just a few minutes. I haven’t had it long, but I don’t foresee any problems. Exactly as expected and working well. No problems do far.

love it

Bought this for my PS5. Got a great price and the installation was easy and the drive is quick and without any hiccups! Its a Samsung so it was well made and a great company that stands behind its products.

I put my games on my PS5 back on the console from another SSD and it took about 20-25 minutes. Installed this one and transferred what was on the other SSD and 100 GB MORE. It took 5 minutes total!! Simply awesome!

I bought this SSD to upgrade my 500Go C: drive and was concerned with the transition/upgrade as this is my main drive... with a USB adapter and the - FREE - Samsung Data Migration software, the whole process took less than 15min!!!! AMAZING!
