The Speed changed my computing life
By Adam Pilbeam on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025
After upgrading my laptop with the Samsung 980 Pro SSD NVMe, I can confidently say this might be the single best upgrade I've ever made to any computer I've owned. From the moment I installed this sleek piece of technology, the difference was jaw-dropping. My laptop now boots in seconds - I barely have time to take a sip of coffee before I'm staring at my desktop. Applications that used to lumber along now spring to life instantly. Even massive photo editing projects and video renders that once had me walking away from my computer now complete in a fraction of the time. The 980 Pro's PCIe 4.0 interface delivers blistering speeds that you can actually feel in everyday use. Sequential read speeds are phenomenal, making file transfers feel almost instantaneous. What impressed me beyond the raw speed is the reliability. After several months of heavy daily use, performance remains consistent with zero hiccups. The drive runs cool even during intensive tasks, which gives me confidence in its longevity. Installation was straightforward, though if you're new to upgrading storage, you might want to watch a quick tutorial. The slim form factor fit perfectly in my laptop without any clearance issues. Yes, you might pay a premium compared to budget NVMe options, but the performance-to-price ratio is absolutely justified. This isn't just marginally better than previous generation SSDs - it's a transformative upgrade that makes your entire computing experience more enjoyable. If you spend significant time on your laptop and find yourself waiting for programs to load or files to transfer, do yourself a favor and invest in the Samsung 980 Pro. Your future self will thank you every single day.

Don’t blame seller, but first order got lost in the mail. The replacement they sent a 970 evo. Gen
By Steezus on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2023
So I ordered this as I just bought a ps5. Almost bought the 2TB WD at best buy when picking up my PS5, But checked amazon saw this was like 20 dollars cheaper. That was my first mistake. I order it, it saying it will arrive even the same day 5-10PM. Perfect! I Can use it the same day I bought my ps5. Nope it gets lost in the mail. Customer service sents a replacement, it arrives and I excited. I bought ps plus extra, so I have a huge options of game to download and ps5 comes with lime 600-660GB of usable on board storage, so an m.2 upgrade is almost a necessity. I open the bag, so excited to install the drive. AND ITS A 970 EVO. You can see In the picture it says 2TB 980 pro with heat sink for ps5, etc. obviously if you been around computers for a bit you know the 970 evo plus was a top of the line drive, in 2018-2019. And ps5 will not work with gen 3 drives period. It runs a simple check if it’s gen 4 and if not it won’t work. I was furious. They obviously applied this label to the wrong item by someone who has no clue what an nvme 2280 m.2 drive is in the first place. That’s why I rated 3 stars as its not the seller fault i guess, and dont want to affect the rating too much for what might be amazon’s mistake. But amazon wanted to send me a third replacement! I said NO I want my money back! Also was able to score an XPG 4TB drive with heatsink plenty fast for ps5 (7200 MB/s read 6800 MB/s write, with dram cache and heatsink for ps5) for 199! So id recommend going with something other than Samsung or Western Digital for your ps5 expansion. Nand flash is a commodity. Just find out what controller it is using (Phison E18 is the top of Line gen 4 currently, which the 199 4TB drive I bought has, and you should be fine. The only one making custom controllers is Samsung, and after a certain speed the PS5 can’t even take advantage of it in the first place. So just be careful ordering this drive. Its a great product I have the non heatsink version as my main drive in my gaming computer, but if you want storage in a product like ps5 where there’s already on board I/O controllers to do work and the drive itself is less important (id still recommend a dram cache as 2-4TB drive without a dram cache is going to be ULTRA budget.) If you insist on getting the brand name of Samsung ,or Western digital, or Seagate. That’s fine. Just know you are paying almost the same price as what a 4TB can be had for. Also, PLEASE double check your order, im worried they are going to say I sent the wrong item back and try to hassle me over the refund, but you can obviously see it was mislabeled and the pick and place machine took the wrong item (according to the scanner it was a 980 pro 2TB with a heatsink, but you can see from the picture it is obviously the wrong item. I thought maybe someone bought this 980 pro and returned their old 970 evo trying to scam amazon return, but as you can see this was just a straight wrong label applied and the drive was factory sealed. Anyway, other than that little adventure I am loving my PS5!
