ADATA XPG MARS 980 BLADE 4TB M.2 Gen 5 NVMe SSD

The ADATA XPG MARS 980 BLADE 4TB NVMe SSD delivers PCIe Gen 5 performance with sequential read speeds up to 14,000MB/s and write speeds reaching 13,000MB/s. Built on 3D NAND technology with the SM2508 controller, this M.2 2280 drive provides 4TB of high-speed storage for gaming systems, workstations, and content creation builds.

PCIe Gen 5 Performance

Utilizing PCIe Gen 5 x4 interface technology, the MARS 980 BLADE achieves 2,000K random read IOPS and 1,650K random write IOPS. The drive maintains performance through SLC caching and advanced thermal management, operating efficiently between 0°C to 70°C. With an MTBF rating of 1,600,000 hours and 2,960TB TBW endurance, this SSD handles intensive workloads reliably.

Design and Compatibility

The M.2 2280 form factor measures 80 x 22 x 4.5mm with heatsink (12g) or 80 x 22 x 3.2mm without (8g). The included heatsink enables effective heat dissipation during sustained operations. Compatible with motherboards supporting PCIe Gen 5, the drive also functions with Gen 4 and Gen 3 systems at respective speeds. PS5 compatibility delivers up to 6,500MB/s read speeds.

Technical Specifications

The drive features 3D NAND flash memory managed by the SM2508 controller. Advanced error correction and wear leveling technologies maintain data integrity across the 4TB capacity. Shock resistance rated at 1,500G/0.5ms ensures durability during transport and installation. Storage temperature range spans -40°C to 85°C for safe long-term storage.

Warranty and Support

ADATA backs the XPG MARS 980 BLADE with a 5-year limited warranty, demonstrating confidence in the drive's reliability and longevity for professional and enthusiast applications.
