Description
Upgrade to the incredible speed of NVMe™
It’s time to maximize your PC’s potential with the new 980. Whether you need a boost in gaming or a smooth workflow with heavy graphics, the 980 is the smart choice for outstanding SSD performance. All backed by an NVMe™ interface and PCIe 3.0 technology.
At full speed
Do whatever you want. The 980 leverages nearly all the speed advantages of PCIe 3.0 through HMB technology and the spectacular efficiency of NVMe™. The DRAM-less design delivers exceptional value, achieving blistering sequential read/write speeds of up to 3500/3000MB/s*—over 6.2x the speed of SATA SSDs.
Don't slow down with Full Power mode
Keep your SSD running at peak performance for continuous, consistent high performance with Full Power Mode. Set it via Samsung Magician software to keep your SSD always in active mode. Instantly get back to intensive work with large files, high-graphics gaming, or even normal PC usage.
Designed to last
Keep your files safe with an SSD built to last for the long haul. With up to 600 TBW and a 5-year limited warranty, the 980’s optimized endurance comes with proven reliability thanks to Samsung’s in-house solutions, from state-of-the-art controller to V-NAND and the latest software.
Reliable thermal control
High-performance SSDs require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable operation, the 980 uses nickel plating to help manage the controller’s heat level and a heat spreader label to provide effective thermal control of the NAND chip.
Smart Thermal Solution
Integrated with Samsung’s cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 manages heat on its own to deliver long-lasting, reliable performance. To minimize long-term performance fluctuations, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology keeps the 980’s temperature at optimal levels.
Samsung Magician Software
Unlock the full power of the 980 with Samsung Magician’s intuitive yet advanced optimization tools. Monitor drive health, optimize performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you always get the best performance from your SSD.
