Samsung 980 500GB NVMe SSD - High-Performance Storage Solution

The Samsung 980 500GB NVMe SSD delivers exceptional performance for gaming, content creation, and intensive workflows. Featuring PCIe 3.0 technology and an NVMe 1.4 interface, this M.2 2280 drive achieves sequential read speeds up to 3100MB/s and write speeds up to 2600MB/s—over 6x faster than traditional SATA SSDs.

PCIe 3.0 Performance with HMB Technology

The 980 utilizes Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology to maximize PCIe 3.0 bandwidth without requiring dedicated DRAM. This DRAM-less design delivers outstanding value while maintaining high-performance levels. With random read/write speeds up to 15,000/50,000 IOPS, the drive handles multitasking and demanding applications efficiently.

Full Power Mode for Consistent Performance

Samsung Magician software enables Full Power Mode, keeping your SSD in active mode for nonstop, consistent high performance. This feature ensures instant responsiveness when working with large files, graphics-intensive games, or standard PC operations without performance fluctuations.

Advanced Thermal Management

The 980 features nickel coating on the controller and a heat spreader label on the NAND chip for effective thermal control. Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology automatically maintains optimal operating temperatures, ensuring reliable performance during extended use. This intelligent thermal solution minimizes performance throttling and extends drive longevity.

Built-In Reliability and Endurance

With up to 600 TBW (Total Bytes Written) and a 5-year limited warranty, the 980 is engineered for long-term reliability. Samsung's in-house V-NAND 3-bit MLC storage memory, Pablo controller, and optimized firmware work together to deliver 1,500,000 hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). As the world's number one flash memory manufacturer since 2003, Samsung ensures end-to-end quality control.
