Samsung 980 Pro 500 GB

Next-level SSD performance
Unleash the power of the Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PR- for your next-level computing. Leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface, the 980 PR- delivers double the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0 while being backward-compatible for PCIe 3.0 for added versatility.

Maximum speed
Powered by Samsung custom Elpis Controller for PCIe 4.0 SSD, the 980 PR- is optimised for speed. It delivers read speeds up t- 7,000 MB/s, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PR- achieves maximum speeds on PCIe 4.0 and may vary in other environments.

A winning combination
Designed with hardcore gamers and tech-savvy users in mind, the 980 PR- offers high-performance bandwidth and throughput for heavy-duty applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics, and more. It’s fast at loading games s- you can play more and wait less.

Efficient M.2 SSD
The 980 PR- comes in a compact M.2 2280 form factor, which can be easily plugged int- desktops and laptops for maximum board design flexibility. The drive is suitable for building high-performance computing systems due t- its optimised power efficiency.

Reliable thermal control
High-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. T- ensure stable performance, the 980 PR- uses nickel coating t- help manage the controller’s heat level and a heat spreader label t- deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.

Smart thermal solution
Embedded with Samsung’s cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 PR- manages heat on its own t- deliver durable and reliable performance. T- minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980 PRO’s temperature at optimal levels.

Samsung Magician software
Unlock the full power of the 980 PR- with Samsung Magician’s intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Samsung Magician t- ensure you’re always getting the best performance out of your SSD.
