Stop waiting for loading screens and start creating. The Samsung 980 1TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V8V1T0BW) is engineered for enthusiasts and gamers who demand high-speed performance without the premium price tag of Gen4 drives. By leveraging the power of PCIe 3.0 and HMB technology, the 980 delivers nearly the full bandwidth of the interface, ensuring your system stays snappy whether you're gaming, editing 4K video, or multitasking.
DRAM-less Performance: Uses Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology to link the SSD directly to your processor's DRAM, providing stunning speeds without the cost of internal DRAM.
Blistering Speeds: Experience sequential read speeds up to 3,500 MB/s and write speeds up to 3,000 MB/s.
Full Power Mode: Keep your SSD running at peak level via the Samsung Magician software for consistent, high-performance multitasking.
Built to Last: Optimized endurance with up to 600 TBW (Terabytes Written) and a 5-year limited warranty.
Smart Thermal Solution: A nickel coating on the controller and a heat spreader label ensure reliable heat management during intense workloads.

Choosing the right SSD can be a bottleneck for your entire build. Here’s why the Samsung 980 1TB fits most users:
The Sweet Spot of Value: While Gen4 drives exist, most daily tasks and gaming sessions don't see a perceptible difference between 3,500 MB/s and 7,000 MB/s. The 980 offers "pro" speeds at a "mainstream" price.
Reliability: Samsung is one of the few manufacturers that designs its own controller, firmware, and NAND in-house. This vertical integration leads to industry-leading reliability.
Upgrade Compatibility: The M.2 2280 form factor is the standard for modern laptops and motherboards. If your device has an NVMe slot, this drive is likely the perfect fit.
Does the Samsung 980 come with a heatsink?
No, this model uses a heat spreader label and nickel-plated controller for thermal management. It is thin enough to fit in most laptops and desktop motherboards.
Can I use this in a PlayStation 5?
While it will fit, the PS5 requires a PCIe Gen4 drive for optimal performance. The Samsung 980 is a PCIe Gen3 drive and is recommended for PC and Laptop use.
What is Samsung Magician?
It is a free software suite that allows you to monitor drive health, optimize performance, and protect data with various encryption tools.
