Description
Next-level SSD performance
Unleash the power of the PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 980 PRO for next-level computing. The PCIe® 4.0 delivers 2x the data transfer rate of PCIe® 3.0 while staying backward compatible for total versatility. The added heatsink elevates speed, power efficiency, and thermal control to help maximise gameplay.

Maximum speed
With Samsung’s in-house controller for PCIe® 4.0 SSD, the 980 PRO Series is optimised for speed. It delivers read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s*, 2x faster than PCIe® 3.0 SSDs and 12.7x faster than SATA SSDs**. The 980 PRO series achieves max speeds on PCIe® 4.0 and may vary in other settings***.
*Sequential and random write performance was measured with Intelligent TurboWrite technology being activated. Intelligent TurboWrite operates only within a specific data transfer size. Performance may vary depending on SSD’s firmware, system hardware & configuration and other factors. For detailed information, please contact your local service centre. **Test system configuration: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor CPU @ 3.79GHz, DDR4 2666MHz 16GBx2, OS-Windows 10 Pro 64bit, Chipset-ASUS-X570-ROG CROSSHAIR VIII FORMULA. Results are based on a comparison with Samsung PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs and SATA SSDs. ***To maximise the performance of the 980 PRO, please check whether your system supports PCIe 4.0 at the Intel or AMD website.
Smart Thermal Control
Samsung’s nickel-coated controller reliably manages NAND chip heat levels. The 980 PRO's heat spreader label allows thermal control access. The 980 PRO Heatsink uses proven data centre SSD technology to dissipate heat, for continuous high-performance gaming on most consoles and PC systems.
A winning combination
Gamers, techies, and designers can benefit from thermal control, high-performance bandwidth, and sustained performance for heavy-duty applications. Games load fast for more play, less wait. Smart heat management reduces distracting noise and cooling fan work for immersive gaming.
Efficient M.2 SSD
The 980 PRO with Heatsink minimises space limits with a thin 8.6mm body, compatible with PlayStation® 5 plus desktops & laptops meeting PCI-SIG® D8 specs*. The 980 PRO's compact, easy to plug-in M.2 form factor increases board design flexibility for building efficient, high-performance systems.
* PCI-SIG® D8 standard spec: 8.8mm
Samsung Magician software
Unlock the full power of the 980 with Samsung Magician's intuitive yet advanced optimisation tools. Monitor drive health, optimise performance, protect valuable data, and receive important updates with Magician to ensure you can get the best performance out of your SSD.
