ADATA XPG MARS 980 BLADE 2TB M.2 Gen 5 NVME SSD

The ADATA XPG MARS 980 BLADE delivers PCIe Gen 5 performance with sequential read speeds up to 14,000MB/s and write speeds reaching 13,000MB/s. This 2TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD is built for gaming rigs, workstations, and high-performance systems requiring maximum throughput.

Equipped with the SM2508 controller and 3D NAND flash technology, the MARS 980 BLADE utilizes advanced SLC caching to accelerate write performance and reduce latency. The PCIe Gen 5 x4 interface provides enhanced bandwidth for demanding applications including 3D rendering, video editing, and AAA gaming.

Thermal management is handled by an integrated aluminum heat spreader that dissipates heat during sustained workloads, maintaining performance stability. The SSD operates within 0°C to 70°C and features shock resistance up to 1,500G/0.5ms, ensuring reliability across various computing environments.

With 2TB capacity, you can store extensive game libraries, project files, and media collections. The drive achieves 2,000K random read IOPS and 1,650K random write IOPS, delivering responsive performance for multitasking scenarios. PS5 compatibility is supported with speeds up to 6,500MB/s read when installed in the console.

The M.2 2280 form factor fits standard motherboard slots, measuring 80 x 22 x 4.5mm with the heat spreader (12g) or 80 x 22 x 3.2mm without (8g). Installation is straightforward for both desktop and laptop systems supporting PCIe Gen 5.

Backed by a 5-year limited warranty and 1,600,000 hours MTBF, the MARS 980 BLADE offers 2,960TB total bytes written (TBW) endurance. Low power consumption ensures energy efficiency without sacrificing performance, while advanced error correction technology maintains data integrity.
