    The XPG MARS 980 BLADE is a 4TB M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe SSD with DRAM cache, rated for sequential speeds up to 14,000MB/s read and 13,000MB/s write, making it suited to gaming and demanding storage workloads on compatible PCs and laptops.

    Recommended For

    • Users building a PCIe 5.0 desktop who want a fast primary or operating-system drive; PCWorld found especially strong small-file performance, which suits frequent OS and application activity.
    • Laptop upgraders with a compatible M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 slot who want high-capacity storage in a low-profile drive; XPG positions the Blade for laptops, and its slim heatsink design avoids a bulky add-on.
    • PC builders who need 4TB of local space for large game libraries, applications, and active project files, and whose platform supports PCIe 5.0; the capacity is useful even when everyday tasks do not reach peak transfer speeds.
    • PS5 owners who prioritize adding up to 4TB of game storage and are comfortable paying for a Gen5 drive whose speed the console cannot fully use; XPG lists PS5 compatibility and up to 6,500 MB/s read speed on PS5.
