Upgrade to breathtaking NVMe™ speed

It's time to maximise your PC's potential with the 980. Whether you need a boost for gaming or a seamless workflow for heavy graphics, the 980 is the smart choice for outstanding SSD performance and it's all backed by an NVMe™ interface and PCIe 3.0 technology.

* The NVM Express® design mark is a registered trademark of NVM Express, Inc.

Packed with speed

Get right to it. The 980 harnesses nearly all the speed advantages of PCIe 3.0 through HMB technology and dramatic NVMe efficiency. The DRAM-less design delivers exceptional value, achieving breakneck sequential read/write speeds up to 3,500/3,000 MB/s*, over 6.2x the speed of SATA SSDs.

* Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version, system and hardware configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology activated. Intelligent TurboWrite operates only within a specific data transfer size. For detailed information, please contact your local service center* Test system configuration: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz,DDR4 2133MHz 8GBx2 OS-Windows 10 Pro 64bit Asrock Z-170 Extreme7+* Results are based on a comparison with Samsung SATA SSDs.* HMB (Host Memory Buffer) technology enables the SSD to use the DRAM of the host system for read/write caching and buffering.

Keep moving with Full Power Mode

Keep your SSD running at peak level for nonstop, consistent high performance with Full Power Mode. Switch it on through Samsung Magician software to always keep your SSD in active mode. Instantly jump right back to intensive work with huge files, graphics-heavy games or even normal PC usage.

Built for the long run

Keep your files safe with an SSD that's in it for the long haul. With up to 600 TBW and a 5-year limited warranty, the 980's optimised endurance comes with proven reliability thanks to Samsung's in-house solutions, from the state-of-the-art controller to V-NAND and the latest firmware.

*TBW : Terabytes written* Warrantied TBW for 980: 150 TBW for 250GB model, 300 TBW for 500GB model, 600 TBW for 1TB model.* 5 years or TBW, whichever comes first. For more information on the warranty, please find the enclosed warranty statement in the package.

Reliable thermal control

High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 uses nickel coating to help manage the controller's heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.

Smart thermal solution

Embedded with Samsung's cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980's temperature at optimal levels.

Samsung Magician software

Unlock the full power of the 980 with Samsung Magician's intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you're always getting the best performance out of your SSD.

World's No. 1 Flash Memory

Experience superior performance and reliability that you can only get from the world's number one brand for flash memory since 2003. All firmware and components, including Samsung's world-renowned DRAM and NAND, are produced in-house, allowing end-to-end integration for quality you can trust.

Bought as a Windows 10 Boot Drive replacement for a 256 GB SATA SSD and for the price a very worthwhile investment. PC Boot speed and program running speeds significantly increased. Lots of space now on C Drive for main applications leaving other HDDs for larger programs and data. Easy to install and lots of YouTube videos and information on the internet on how to do it (ensure Motherboard supports it!).

Got this to boost a 4 year old pc that the 128gb ssd had just filled up with windows updates. This type of ssd is really is to fit in into my hp pavilion desktop and the samsung data migration software (downloaded from samsung) took around 30 minutes to do the tranfer. At first the drive didnt show up but once I had the software downloaded it was instantly recognised, plain sailing from that point!

I bought this like two weeks ago, to change some of my new games from HDD to this new one, because a I had stuttering issues when I started playing. After I put this in basically solved all my problems. So my advice who still using old HDD for new games change it to an NVMe SSD use this or other similar product and check your motherboard compatibility before you buy.

I have one of these that's been working for the past couple of years without any issues at all. When I spotted this on clearance I had to buy! Plugged in, and enabled in Windows 11 in moments and ready to store RAW DSLR image files.
