Upgrade to the incredible speed of NVMeTM
The time has come to maximize the potential of your PC with the new 980. As much as you need a boost in your games as a smooth workflow with heavy graphics, the 980 is the smartest choice for outstanding SSD performance. All supported by an NVMeTM interface and PCIe technology 3.0.
Full speed ahead
Do whatever you want. The 980 takes almost all of the speed advantages of PCIe 3.0 through HMB technology and the spectacular efficiency of NVMeTM. The DRAM-free design offers exceptional value, achieving dizzying sequential read/write speeds of up to 3500/3000 MB/s*, over 6.2 times the speed of SATA SSDs.
Don't slow down in full power mode
Keep your SSD running at peak performance for continuous, consistent high performance with Full Power mode. Set it up through the Samsung Magician software to keep your SSD always in active mode. It instantly returns to intensive work with large files, high graphics games, or even normal PC use.
Designed to Last
Keep your files safe with an SSD designed to last long. With up to 600 TBW and a limited 5-year warranty, the 980's optimized endurance comes with proven reliability thanks to Samsung's in-house solutions, from state-of-the-art controller to V-NAND and the latest software.
Reliable thermal control
High performance SSDs require high performance thermal control. To ensure stable operation, the 980 uses a nickel coating to help manage the heat level of the controller and a heat spreader tag to provide effective thermal control of the NAND chip.
Smart heat solution
Integrated with Samsung's state-of-the-art thermal control algorithm, the 980 manages heat on its own to deliver long-lasting and reliable performance. To minimize long-term performance fluctuations, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard technology keeps the temperature of the 980 at optimum levels.
Software by Samsung Magician
Unlock the full power of the 980 with Samsung Magician's intuitive yet advanced optimization tools. Monitor drive health, optimize performance, protect valuable data and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you always get the best performance from your SSD.
