1) Performance may vary depending on SSD's firmware, system hardware & configuration and other factors.

Proven Reliability

The 980 boasts proven endurance with up to 600 terabytes1) 2) written. Advanced thermal control solutions enhance performance with reduced heat risk. Dynamic Thermal Guard (DTG) technology proactively minimizes overheating, and a heat spreader with an integrated thin copper film dissipates heat more efficiently. A nickel coating on the controller also helps to dissipate heat faster during heavy workload use in order to ensure the high levels of quality and reliability for which Samsung is known.

1) All documented endurance test results are obtained in compliance with JESD218 standards. Please visit www.jedec.org for detailed information.
2) TBW is based on the 1TB capacity.

Optimized Efficiency with whole renovation

Can't go to wrong with a Samsung NMVe.

SSD Capacity: 500GB

I actually wrongly purchased this and now very much understand the differences between my options when considering M.2 disks (turns out I needed an NGFF compatible drive). Anyway, I ended up also purchasing an NMVe USB C enclosure and using this as the storage component for said interface/enclosure - Its damn sweet - The through put is def not limited by the disk, but the enclosure. Solid buy for the price.

Fast, reliable and easy to install (kind of)

SSD Capacity: 1TB

It installs easy with no extra SATA cables, just plug into your M.2 slot and away you go. No issues so far and my system now boots up much faster, coming from an old SATA SSD drive.
Only thing is to make sure you have the screws you need to install it lol.

Great NVME SSD and Reasonably Priced

SSD Capacity: 1TB

This SSD is super fast and suitable for most users, as opposed to the "Pro" version which would not be taken advantage of in day-to-day workloads for gaming or the office environment.

Using this for my OS Drive now, instead of my Crucial P2 (which is now my secondary M.2 SSD), and there is a noticable improvement in booting and general load times. The biggest difference is transferring files, though the PCI-E 4.0 is probably the main factor for that.

Highly recommended over the 970 Pro, and for those who don't want/need to spend the extra for 980 Pro.
