SAMSUNG 980 M.2 2280 250GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 V-NAND MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V8V250B/AM

Pros: Fast

Cons: too fast ;)

Overall Review: Ive seen the benchmarks for multiple ssds and this one i think has the best performance to value. there are faster ssds than this but to me it made sense that i dont spend money for the speed i dont need. My windows 10 loads in under 6 seconds, Dota 2 loads under 10 seconds (used to be 90 secs on a 7500 rpm HDD). Chrome feels snappier when 20+ tabs are open. Great ssd for everyday use and for gaming.

Pros: When the drive uses system RAM to cache, the performance is equivalent to a higher end NVME. Even when it starts SLC caching, the performance is close to some DRAM NVME drives. After it fills both, the speeds aren't much different than the WD SN 550, but it takes a lot of data to get to that threshold.

Cons: DRAMless, but it attempts to fix this with various trickery.

Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone who needs a good fast secondary drive.

Pros: Very Fast. Imaged drive with Win 10 Pro in less than 5 minutes. Price. I bought two for less than $100 each.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Yes buy this now.

Pros: Easy to install. Immediately recognized in a second dedicated slot. Very fast program startup. Good price for the storage quantity.

Overall Review: I installed this Samsung Hard drive in my Razer Blade 15 base as a second hard drive. It was easily recognized and formatted using windows disk management utility. The drive comes with free software. The software is good and I would have used it if it was a matter of cloning and changing a hard drive. But since it was just as a second storage I don't think it was necessary. It works very fast and trppled my storage. I have played games that will take a good minute to load on a mechanical had. The same program will take seconds with this drive. I previously purchased a Samsung sata ssd for another computer which is still going strong. Hopefully this one will too.

Pros: Trusted brand, I always buy Samsung and I have not had one fail ever. My first SSD was an 840 and I just keep buying them. Well over 30 so far. The software is great but you don't have to use it.

Cons: I can't really think of any at this time. Any problems i will report back

Overall Review: SSD for boot drive is the standard now. If you don't have one, get one. Its night and day

Pros: I was using a HDD for every just because I had no issues and didn't know better. But let me tell you. The boot speed the loading speed of my programs are phenomenal!!! I should have switched a long time ago!! I love this thing!

Cons: Fast Small Way!!!! Faster than a HDD and depending on what you get faster than your standard SSD. Fast install little power consumption. Great Price for what you are getting in my opinion.

Overall Review: Nothing so far.
