Samsung 980 PRO 500GB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVME SSD

Next-level SSD performanceUnleash the power of the Samsung PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 980 PRO for your next-level computing. Leveraging the PCIe 4.0 interface, the 980 PRO delivers double the data transfer rate of PCIe 3.0 while being backward compatible for PCIe 3.0 for added versatility.Maximum speedPowered by Samsung custom Elpis Controller for PCIe 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO is optimised for speed. It delivers read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s, making it 2 times faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs and 12.7 times faster than SATA SSDs. The 980 PRO achieves max speeds on PCIe 4.0 and may vary in other environments.A winning combinationDesigned with hardcore gamers and tech-savvy users in mind, the 980 PRO offers high-performance bandwidth and throughput for heavy-duty applications in gaming, graphics, data analytics and more. It's fast at loading games, so you can play more and wait less.Efficient M.2 SSDThe 980 PRO comes in a compact M.2 2280 form factor, which can be easily plugged into desktops and laptops for maximum board design flexibility. The drive is suitable for building high-performance computing systems due to its optimised power efficiency.Reliable thermal controlHigh-performance SSDs usually require high-performance thermal control. To ensure stable performance, the 980 PRO uses nickel coating to help manage the controller's heat level and a heat spreader label to deliver effective thermal control of the NAND chip.Smart thermal solutionEmbedded with Samsung's cutting-edge thermal control algorithm, the 980 PRO manages heat on its own to deliver durable and reliable performance. To minimise performance fluctuations in the long haul, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology maintains the 980 PRO's temperature at optimal levels.Samsung Magician softwareUnlock the full power of the 980 PRO with Samsung Magician's intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you're always getting the best performance out of your SSD.World's No. 1 flash memoryExperience superior performance and reliability that you can only get from the world's number one brand for flash memory since 2003. All firmware and components, including Samsung's world-renowned DRAM and NAND, are produced in-house, allowing end-to-end integration for quality you can trust.Capacity500GBModel980 PROForm Factor1 x M.2InterfacePCIe 4.0 (x4) NVMEConnections1 x M.2 (PCIe)Host ControllerSamsung Elpis ControllerFlash Memory TypeSamsung V-NAND 3-bit MLCMax Read/WriteRead: Up to 7000 MB/sWrite: Up to 5000MB/sMax 4KB Random Read/WriteRead: Up to 1000k IOPSWrite: Up to 1000k IOPSDimensions (W x H x D)Max 80.15 x Max x 22.15 x Max 2.38 (mm)Weight9gPackagingRetailAdditional FeaturesTRIM (Required OS support), Garbage Collection S.M.A.R.TAES 256-bit Encryption (Class 0)TCG/Opal IEEE1667 (Encrypted drive)Encrypted Drive(IEEE1667)-Type Of Drive: SSDConnection: M.2 NVMe PCie Gen 4Capacity: 500GBPackaging: Retail
