> 24 hourI had a previous fantastic experience with the 980 Pro on my gaming rig. Maybe Im a fanboy, but when it comes to SSDs I have always favored Samsung Pro brand SSDs, and to date, none have failed me. Thankfully! Therefore no regrets. I ordered the 1TB version of this drive, but to my dismay, I received the 500GB version. Whoever put the amazon label on the box must have blundered, (or did a swap?). I didnt even open it, but arranged a pretty painless return, and this time, I got the correct capacity. I installed this in a Lenovo Yoga 730, which took quite a bit of steps to get into the bios, and make a series of changes, in correct sequence, to get to boot from USB stick. I could then load Paragon, and copy my main drive to this model, and extend its partition size to use this whole drive as my C. Nothing about this drive is dissapointing. My read/write speeds are about identical at 3400-3500MB/s in crystal disk. I think this laptop is only NVME 3.0, so Ive not seeing the full speed. Still its faster than the intel model it replaced. I always recommend the 980 Pros. There is a concern on earlier firmware revisions of some of these drives. May want to look into it, or run Magician and update firmware regardless. Yeah, buy this if you want good performance, and reliability. Price is decent too!

> 24 hourLuckily mine came with the latest firmware, so I didnt have to update it. I slapped it in my PS5, checked the speed, and got on with gaming. Even if you do have to update, the process isnt that hard. There are plenty of YouTube videos that will tell you what to do. But it seems like they are all shipping with the latest firmware now, so thats good. Buy one, or five!

> 24 hourThis Samsung 980 Pro PCI-E 4.0 Gen4 M.2 Nvme Drive is so far the fastest Drive I have used so far... I have the 500GB Version installed in my M.2 Slot #1 (out of 3 total) that is dedicated to store my Windows 10 Pro x64 Operating System plus basic Programs... My startup time is mere seconds and everything is super fast... Highly Recommend this drive... was able to get around 6,900MB/s Read & 5,000MB/s Write Speeds using some benchmark software tho I didnt get screenshots... I could in the future I suppose but anyway this Drive is extremely fast... I am very big with Sabrent Brand Storage media personally due to their high speeds, new technology, & cheaper pricing vs Samsung however this 980 Pro was on sale at the time so I grabbed it and it performs exceptionally well...
