ADATA XPG MARS 980 BLADE Gen5 M.2 NVMe SSD - 2TB

The MARS 980 BLADE delivers exceptional PCIe Gen5 x4 performance in a compact M.2 2280 form factor designed specifically for laptops and space-constrained systems. With sequential read speeds up to 14,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 13,000 MB/s, this SSD provides double the performance of PCIe Gen4 drives and 8x faster speeds than standard Gen3 SSDs.

PCIe 5.0 Performance for Gaming and Professional Workloads

Built with the SMI SM2508 controller and TSMC's advanced 6nm process technology, the MARS 980 BLADE optimizes performance-to-power efficiency while reducing heat generation. This eliminates the need for bulky cooling solutions, making it ideal for thin-and-light laptops and compact desktop builds. The drive features NVMe 2.0 support, SLC Caching, and DRAM Cache Buffer for enhanced system loading and data caching performance.

PS5 Storage Expansion

Compatible with PlayStation 5 as an expansion drive, the MARS 980 BLADE fits perfectly into the PS5's drive slot with its compact design. The drive delivers smooth, lag-free gaming performance when playing AAA titles, with speeds reaching up to 6,500 MB/s on PS5 systems.

Built for Reliability

Constructed with 3D NAND flash memory, the MARS 980 BLADE offers 1,480TB Total Bytes Written (TBW) endurance rating and a 1,600,000-hour MTBF. The drive withstands shock resistance up to 1500G/0.5ms and operates reliably in temperatures from 0°C to 70°C. Each drive includes a 5-year limited warranty.

Full Platform Compatibility

The MARS 980 BLADE supports the latest Intel and AMD platforms while maintaining full backward compatibility with PCIe 4.0 and 3.0 systems. The included SSD Toolbox software provides real-time status monitoring, firmware updates, and S.M.A.R.T. technology for tracking drive health, temperature, and remaining lifespan.
