SAMSUNG 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 Gaming M.2 Internal Solid State Drive Memory Card + 2mo Adobe CC Photography, Maximum Speed, Thermal Control (MZ-V8P2T0B)

fine

Everything works as expected.

Perfect for PS5 and it’s space “issue” lol.

The drive failed within less then a year of purchase. I understand hardware can fail. My issue comes with the lack of customer service on this. I first had to mail the drive to Samsung. I then waited for almost a week with no updates available as the website tracker doesnt update so I called again. The rep told me a replacement drive had been ordered but they could not provide me with any tracking status and transferred me to the department that could provide me the status. Unfortunately I was on hold for over an hour and no-one picked up my call and I had to hang up. I then received an email stating the drive was going to be replaced and that the drive had been ordered and once the service department received it they would then ship it to me and I could get tracking details. After waiting 3 days for with no update I called yet again and they again could not provide any update. At that point requested a refund so I could purchase an WD drive knowing their drives are generally very reliable and in the event one of their drives does fail you have a new drive within a couple days. I have no doubt this drive itself is probably a very good drive and I just happen to get a bad one, that happens but when the customer service is the opposite of customer service I cant recommend this drive or Samsung for this reason. I have had a couple WD drives fail me in the past and they immediately send out a new drive provided the failed drive is under warranty and provide you a timeline to return the failed drive or youll be charged. Very easy and great service, you can have a replacement drive within 2 days and be back up and running. Unfortunately Samsung doesnt value their customers enough to provide actual customer service. Im now on 2 weeks without my PC due to this and Im on hold with Samsung attempting to get a refund while writing this review. This is beyond a joke and unacceptable for a company like Samsung. I will never purchase another drive from Samsung. I will update this review after Im done being on hold for however long and whatever whoops I have to jump through to get this resolved.

I had a previous fantastic experience with the 980 Pro on my gaming rig. Maybe Im a fanboy, but when it comes to SSDs I have always favored Samsung Pro brand SSDs, and to date, none have failed me. Thankfully! Therefore no regrets. I ordered the 1TB version of this drive, but to my dismay, I received the 500GB version. Whoever put the amazon label on the box must have blundered, (or did a swap?). I didnt even open it, but arranged a pretty painless return, and this time, I got the correct capacity. I installed this in a Lenovo Yoga 730, which took quite a bit of steps to get into the bios, and make a series of changes, in correct sequence, to get to boot from USB stick. I could then load Paragon, and copy my main drive to this model, and extend its partition size to use this whole drive as my C. Nothing about this drive is dissapointing. My read/write speeds are about identical at 3400-3500MB/s in crystal disk. I think this laptop is only NVME 3.0, so Ive not seeing the full speed. Still its faster than the intel model it replaced. I always recommend the 980 Pros. There is a concern on earlier firmware revisions of some of these drives. May want to look into it, or run Magician and update firmware regardless. Yeah, buy this if you want good performance, and reliability. Price is decent too!

Love it for the PS5

Found this drive on sale and no regrets, works perfectly !

I couldnt have asked for a better experience in adding size to my PS5. It was easy as pie to make the addition. Easy instructions online. And thank you for the good pricing.

Excellent

First Libre was bricked out of box. Replacement one works flawlessly. If you get a bad one, return for another because when they work, they really work.
