Samsung 980 PRO 500GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD

Samsung 980 PRO 500GB PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (MZ-V8P500BW)

The 980 PRO is Samsung's flagship PCIe 4.0 drive, pairing the in-house Elpis controller with V-NAND and a dedicated 512MB DRAM cache to reach up to 6,900 MB/s read — the kind of headroom that suits 4K video editing, large game libraries and heavy content-creation workloads. A nickel-coated controller and heat-spreader label help it hold that speed under load. Supplied brand new and sealed in its original manufacturer packaging.

⚡ Key Features

• Up to 6,900 MB/s sequential read and 5,000 MB/s sequential write on PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 — roughly twice what a fast Gen3 drive delivers.
• Up to 800K read and 1,000K write IOPS at QD32 keep heavy multitasking, scratch-disk work and large project files fluid.
• A dedicated 512MB LPDDR4 DRAM cache holds the mapping table on the drive itself, which is what keeps latency low under sustained load.
• Samsung's own Elpis controller and V-NAND 3-bit MLC — controller, flash and firmware all engineered in-house.
• Nickel-coated controller and a heat-spreader label help manage thermals so speeds hold up during long transfers.
• Rated for 300 TB written and 1,500,000 hours MTBF, with a 5-year limited warranty.
• AES 256-bit full disk encryption with TCG/Opal support for hardware-level data security.
• Standard single-sided M.2 2280 stick just 2.38 mm thick and under 9 grams — fits desktop boards and compatible laptops.
• Fully backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 systems, so it can move with you to a Gen4 platform later.
