Maximum Speed
Get read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s1 with 980 PRO and push the limits of what SSDs can do. Powered by a new in-house controller designed to harmonize the flash memory components and the interface for superior speed — with a PCIe 4.02 interface that’s 2x faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs3 and 12x faster than Samsung SATA SSDs4 — every component of this NVMe SSD is manufactured by Samsung for performance that lasts.
1. Performance may vary depending on the SSD’s firmware version and the system hardware & system configuration. Performance measurements are based on IOmeter 1.1.0. The write performances were measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology being activated. The sequential write performances after Intelligent TurboWrite region are: up to 500MB/s(250GB), 1,000MB/s(500GB) and 2,000MB/s(1TB and 2TB).
2. To maximize the performance of the 980 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.
